Accounts Payable Automation
Simplify the processing of invoices and payments while reducing costs, errors, and time-consuming tasks.
Simplify Your AP Processing and BoostCash Flow Visibility
Processing invoices from numerous vendors with manual methods consumes valuable time and resources, leading to potential errors, exceptions, and payment delays. This jeopardizes vendor relationships, hampers operational efficiency, and risks financial penalties. Moreover, insufficient visibility into invoice processing exacerbates these challenges, making it difficult to manage discrepancies, control expenses, audit approvals, track invoices, and address stakeholder inquiries effectively. Improved visibility and automated workflows are essential to streamline accounts payable operations and maintain strong vendor relationships.
The Case for AP Automation
Moving from more manual AP processes to an automated accounts payable solution allows your AP team to improve vendor relationships and simplify the processing of invoices and payments while reducing costs, errors, and time-consuming tasks. With accounts payable automation software, your team can:
Eliminate time spent on manual invoice
data entry by automatically extracting invoice header and line-item data from invoices without requiring a new setup for each vendor’s format
Reduce time spent handling exceptions
by automatically routing invoices based on configurable business rules
Cut down on journal entry adjustments
and other rework by enabling invoice approvers and budget owners to submit ERP-validated GL coding for non-PO invoices
View outstanding payables at a glance and never lose sight of outstanding liabilities
Reduce bottlenecks and delays
by monitoring the flow of invoice and payment processing using a single source of information
Consolidate invoices into single
automated payments via ACH with electronic remittances or checks with positive pay based on invoice due dates and vendor preferences
Reduce the volume of invoices
your AP team has to handle by deploying end-to-end automation and built-in checkpoints
