Why automate Accounts Payable

In many companies, Accounts Payable processes are still carried out manually and are very paper-intensive. Manual procedures quickly show their limitations, especially as the volume of invoices goes up. That’s where process automation comes into play – with removing manual tasks, improving visibility and providing better control over financial data.

The benefits of automating and managing the invoicing process are substantial. They include:

• Reducing the amount of time spent by any single employee on any one invoice (which results in significant cost savings)
• Ensuring that invoices are electronically verified, approved, and assigned – the physical movement of documents is made unnecessary
• Monitoring where in the process any given invoice is, and automatically handling escalations, alerts, and deadlines
• Reduced load on reviewers/approvers since they only see the invoice they truly need to see; “FYI” traffic is reduced to what’s truly necessary
• Enforcing compliances with corporate policies and governmental laws
• Enhanced clarity of activity and results, and the possibility of easy and rapid improvements
• Eliminated rekeying of data between disparate systems and associated errors
• The ability to time payments in order to maximize cash management and capture early-payment discounts
• Opportunity to engage your AP department in more strategic, value-driven work thanks to the time savings
