EXECUTIVE WHITE PAPER
Streamlining the AP Process with Automated Invoice Management Software
Speeding up the AP process creates value while reducing both hard and soft costs
DOWNLOAD THE REPORT
Manual invoice processing is fraught with issues. Invoices can be lost, approval requests can be forgotten, vendors can get paid twice, or not at all. It’s a time-consuming and expensive process. According to benchmarking company APQC, top-performing companies spend an average of $4.98 to process each invoice, compared to $12.44 for bottom-performing companies. Much of this additional cost comes from the added amount of manual intervention required, as labor represents 62 percent of invoice processing costs.
Streamlining the invoice approval process allows AP teams to focus on more strategic tasks like cash management and analyzing payment terms. Invoice automation strengthens an organization’s financial position by eliminating late payment penalties and out-of-policy spending. It also allows an organization to take advantage of early payment discounts, and help maintain the financial health of its most vital vendors by making faster payments.
This white paper analyzes why the traditional invoice approval process is broken, and the steps that can be taken to improve and streamline an organization’s AP processes. It's easy to see how invoice management can free AP resources to concentrate on more value-added projects and initiatives.
