The Challenge: Document Distribution Across Borders
As GC Europe continued to expand its global operations, managing the efficient distribution of critical business documents across multiple countries became increasingly challenging.
The key issues included:
- Country-Specific Document Delivery: The company needed to manage and route essential business documents (e.g., invoices) to trading partners across Denmark, Norway, and Finland, with each country having unique format and delivery requirements.
- Manual Processing Inefficiencies: Handling document distribution manually led to increased risk of errors, delays, and resource overhead.
- Lack of Centralized Control: Without a centralized system, ensuring document accuracy, format compliance, and destination-specific processing became increasingly complex.
GC Europe required a reliable, secure, and automated solution to streamline document flow, minimize manual intervention, and enhance efficiency across international operations.
The Solution: Intelligent Document Routing and Conversion
To resolve these challenges, HubBroker implemented a tailored integration and automation solution built around two core components: document routing via IMAP gateway and automated format conversion.
- IMAP Gateway for Invoice Routing: We deployed an IMAP-based email gateway that securely receives and routes invoice documents based on predefined validation rules. This system:
- Filters and validates incoming invoices
- Automatically routes them to appropriate country-specific destinations
- Ensures real-time delivery to trading partners with minimal human input
- Excel/PDF to IDoc Format Conversion: Many documents—including invoices—arrived in PDF and Excel formats. These were converted into the IDoc format, a standardized structure that supports integration with ERP systems and trading partner networks.
This process enabled:
- Seamless integration with back-end systems
- Fast, accurate data extraction
- Compliance with trading partner format requirements
Tools and Services Used
The primary services used for GC Europe include:
- IMAP Source Gateway

These tools provided GC Europe with the infrastructure necessary for a scalable, secure, and efficient document exchange system.
