Next level complex billing and payment
Case Study
Next level complex billing and payment
The Gesellschaft zur Verwertung von Leistungsschutzrechten mbH (GVL) in Berlin, Germany, represents the neighbouring exploration rights and interests of labels, artists and event organisers. That’s 160,000 performers, over 13,000 producers and about 70 event organisers. Ensuring that broadcasters and TV fulfil their payment obligations and guaranteeing that each party involved receives its fair share of the royalties and earnings from sound recordings played in radio, TV and streaming services. In 2022 they distributed €257,000,000. This is next level complex billing and payment. And that’s why GVL has been working with ICORP for the last seven years.
Ulrike Pannek explains why GVL chose ICORP and what makes them the best partner for complex billing and payment. Ulrike has been GVL’s weekly contact with ICORP almost since the beginning.
Delivering the future: How Icorp transformed Yodel’s billing and payment system
Case Study
Delivering the future: How Icorp transformed Yodel’s billing and payment system
Yodel, one of the UK’s leading parcel delivery companies, handles millions of deliveries every week. With over 49 sites nationwide and a wide-reaching network of partners, Yodel prides itself on efficiency, reliability, and customer-centric services. From fashion and leisure to health, beauty, and specialist handling for delicate items such as wine and flowers, the company continues to refine its operations. This strong position today has been achieved through a complete transformation of the IT landscape. A major aspect of this transformation has been the overhaul of Yodel’s billing system. Billing is a crucial yet often overlooked element of logistics that drives both efficiency and accuracy in operations.
To explore this evolution, we spoke with Ashraf Adil, Director of DevOps & IT Operations at Yodel who has been with the company for over ten years. Having worked with the system throughout his tenure, Ashraf offers valuable insights into the journey from fragmented legacy systems to a smooth, automated invoicing process.

From Spreadsheets to Structured Control: Automating the Financial Close for Unit4 Organisations
From Spreadsheets to Structured Control: Automating the Financial Close for Unit4 Organisations
Wednesday 18th March 2026 at 2:00 PM GMT
Many finance teams still rely on spreadsheets to manage reconciliations, intercompany balances and month-end close activities.
While Unit4 provides a strong foundation, the financial close process itself is often coordinated offline — creating manual effort, limited visibility and audit risk.
In this session, together with Trintech, we will explore how finance teams can move from spreadsheet-driven processes to a structured, system-controlled close environment.
We will cover:
- The common control gaps in spreadsheet-based close processes
- How to bring structure and accountability to reconciliations
- Automating matching across multiple data sources (Unit4, banks, treasury, payroll, expenses, intercompany etc.)
- Achieving real-time visibility of close status across entities
- Strengthening audit readiness with embedded documentation and full traceability
Join us to see how Unit4 organisations can modernise their financial close, reduce manual workload, and gain greater control and confidence in their numbers.
Scheduled for Wednesday 18th March 2026 from 2:00 PM to 2:30 PM GMT

Charity
Raising Futures Kenya
We firmly believe in our social responsibility to the wider community. That’s why, over the last 20 years, we have supported Raising Futures Kenya – a charity that breaks the cycle of inequality and creates opportunities for vulnerable children and young people in Kenya.
Raising Futures Kenya provides young people with the opportunity to acquire life changing skills which enables them to succeed and support their families. One in five young people in Kenya live in poverty, unable to reach their potential so the support we provide makes a significant difference.
"Because of your generosity, your ingenuity, and your creativity, young people are learning how to support themselves in this unstable world."
— Kirsty Erridge, Raising Futures Kenya
