Automate AP from invoice receipt through making payment
Many organizations struggle to efficiently process invoices and make timely payments. Inefficient AP departments negatively impact business performance by creating bottlenecks and straining relationships with vendors and suppliers.
Costly manual processes result in stalled approvals and slow payments not to mention accrual delays as well as failure to earn rebatess or capitalize on early payment discounts.
The lack of streamlined automated processes also adversely affect business partner relationships beyond slow payments. Vendor frustrations can also result when it is cumbersome for them to submit invoices or when they receive poor insight into payment status or delayed reconcilliation of payments.
