Automating accounts payable can lift cost saving efforts
Posted on 9/28/2010
With this extended economic recession, you've probably already tackled the regular cast of cost-saving characters -- labor, inventory, travel, selling expenses, etc.
As you start to dig deeper for ways to conserve cash, don't overlook the process automation opportunities in accounts payable.
Invoicing, accounts payable and receivable transactions are highly resource-intensive activities in almost any business. This becomes even more difficult under the circumstances of reduced staffing levels. When these scarce resources are tied up in mundane work, there is less time available for those activities that contribute to improving the performance and growth of the business.
If you are still using manual methods of extracting and validating accounts payable data, you're probably exposing your business to unnecessary cost, cash flow delays and human error.
DCA can help you find ways to eliminate these costly manual processes through document automation technologies. For example, many of our customers have turned to some form of accounts payable automation as a way to reduce costs. And still more benefits can be gained by extending and leveraging the level of automation.
Full automation of accounts payable creates a solid foundation for centralized finance organizations, shared service centers and global enterprises. Similarly, uniting both paper and electronic information sources with an invoice automation solution can help companies better integrate information as it enters the organization, as well as provide knowledge workers with useful tools that work seamlessly with existing corporate applications.
