The Reality of Accounts Payable

Why Automate Your Accounts Payable Processes?

Average cost to process an invoice: ~$12

Companies with a high level of automation have half the processing costs of non-automated companies, with a median cost to process an invoice of $6 and as low as $2

If you process just 1,000 invoices per month savings could reach over $72,000 per year…

Reality facing AP Departments Today

>60% of incoming mail are AP invoices >90% of required AP processing is manual entry of data from paper invoices Resulting in: Errors Inefficiencies

Why Change?

Improved data accuracy Reduce paper handling Reduce time between receipt of invoice and posting

Avoid late payment penalties Quicker month, quarter and year-end close AP staff are knowledge workers – allow them to focus on higher value tasks

Turning Raw Data into Smart Data

Examples of Raw Data: Invoice details:

Date P.O. number Invoice number Supplier details

Info is extracted, tagged and validated Seamless integration to MIP system Smart Data that is searchable, reportable and ready for automation through workflows
