Accounts Payable Automation

Streamline invoice processing today! Improving invoice processing has been a long term goal for most Finance Directors, advances in both scanning hardware and software can now make it a reality. The deployment of scanning software that can automatically identify a supplier invoice, extract relevant data such as Purchase Order Number before validating the supplier and amount shown on the invoice with the Accounting System is not only possible but is being implemented by your competitors.

Improvements in scanning hardware and software over recent years has greatly improved both speed and accuracy of data capture, incoming invoices can be scanned and the system can identify who an invoice has come from. Consequently relevant data can be extracted from the invoice and validated against existing system information, for example actual purchase order numbers can be identified and the total/line amounts checked automatically against the invoice.

Not only is processing time greatly reduced but by capturing scanned images of invoices there is no more risk of them getting lost, being hard to locate or being paid twice.

The key to deploying a successful "purchase to pay" system is to work with a supplier well versed in the technologies involved and Enterprise Content Management as a whole.
