Accounts Payable Automation

Accounts Payable (AP) is a critical function for any company, large or small.

AP departments are already facing ever-increasing costs and compliance concerns. Yet, many still use costly, error-prone manual processes to capture, route, and approve invoices. At the same time, AP processes shouldn't be an overwhelming headache for your AP team.

It's time to liberate your AP team from manual processing woes. It's time to leverage automation to speed up accounting processes while unburdening your AP team.

FAQs

 

  • If your AP team manages invoices and payments manually, they are likely struggling with issues such as lost or misplaced invoices, duplicate invoices, lengthy and time-consuming approval processes, errors due to manual data entry or even intentional fraud in invoice payments.

    Automating invoice capture reduces manual data entry errors.

    AP automation speeds up vendor payments, B2B payments, and accounts payable process time by digitizing invoice approval workflows.

    Streamlining AP processes, workflows, and invoice payments helps your AP team sustain good relationships with vendors and ensure compliance with industry regulations.

    It gives senior management end-to-end visibility into all payments and helps them manage cash flow better.

  • A content management system is a technology system that can automate the capture, management, and electronic distribution of documents.

    Your AP department typically receives and manages invoices, POs, checks, bills and receipts.

    With an electronic document management system, you can capture invoices digitally. Then, they can be automatically routed for approval without manual entry into a paper form.

    Your AP team gets complete visibility across the approval process, so they can promptly take action if there is any bottleneck.

    As a result, your AP team will be able to pay invoices faster, match POs accurately, minimize errors arising from manual data entry and avoid late payment charges or problems with vendors.
