Payment Automation
Automating your AP payment processing lowers costs, boosts visibility, and offers more control over how payments are handled.
Why Optimize AP Payment Processing?
Making payments to vendors is one of the most crucial functions of any accounts payable department, so it only makes sense to make payment processing as simple and intuitive as possible. From cutting down on the human error that comes with manual processes to increasing security to reduce fraud risk and implementing tighter financial controls to eliminating bank transaction fees with consolidated payments, making the move to payment automation software simply makes sense for any large or growing business.
More Control Over Payments
An automated payment processing system gives your team more control over and visibility into the timing of scheduled payments. That timing control increases the volume of invoices your AP team can handle and cuts down on costly delays caused by human error and makes it easier for your business to qualify for discounts for early payments.
Lower Costs Per Transaction
Automation makes it simpler to conduct and consolidate transactions using electronic payments, cutting down on the added costs that come with processing paper checks or processing ACH transactions. That means significant savings for a high-volume business.
Better Visibility and Data Insights
The way your AP system processes payments can tell you a lot about the way your organization does business overall. An automated AP solution generates vital financial data that helps identify inefficiencies and uncover necessary changes that will improve your process.
Fewer Payment Errors
Trying to manually process large volumes of invoices and payments is an invitation to human error, which leads to duplicate payments, overpayments, and underpayments. Automating your payment process eliminates the cost of cleaning up those mistakes, as well as the strain they can put on vendor relationships.
Less Payment Fraud
Payment fraud can come in many forms, both inside and outside of your business. A system that automatically tracks and records each transaction and can flag exceptions for extra workflow reviews makes it much easier to detect fake invoices, data theft, intentional overpayments, and other forms of fraud.
Improved Vendor Visibility into Payment Status
Vendor inquiries about late payments, lost invoices, payment discrepancies, and other problems common to manual processing can eat up a lot of time for your AP department. Automation reduces those incidents and puts more time back on your AP team’s schedule.

Power Up Your Payments with Integrated Invoice Automation
Invoicing and payments walk hand-in-hand, which is why MHC’s automated invoice processing is a boon for your AP team. As automation optimizes each invoice’s lifecycle, integrating with your AP process happens seamlessly. Combining your payment and invoicing process with an automated solution streamlines communications and makes errors and delays caused by human touchpoints a thing of the past.
CREATE INVOICE TRANSACTIONS AUTOMATICALLY
As each invoice is approved for payment, the automated process feeds the invoice transactions directly into your accounting or ERP system. Each invoice is automatically queued for payment by accounts payable according to your rules and schedule, with alerts in place should human review be required.
REPORT ON INVOICE STATUS
When an invoice is hung up in the process due to validation errors or delays in reviews or approvals delays, MHC automation keeps you in the know and helps avoid costly consequences like service disruptions or vendor friction.
MONITOR PAYMENT STATUS
As each invoice is paid out by your AP process, payment information is fed back into your automated system so that status is reflected accurately and in real-time. You’ll know the instant an invoice payment is posted.
