Manufacturing AP Automation Experts
conquer invoice matching with aP automation.
Is your AP team overworked and overwhelmed?
Modern manufacturing demands sophisticated processes to handle global supply chain issues, raw materials, MRO, and non-inventory liabilities.
This process can include manually keying invoices into your system or quality-checking scanned invoices to ensure correctness. And, of course, invoice matching line by line to purchase orders and receipts.
These processes keep cash flowing but create a cumbersome process that takes too much time. It’s also fraught with the potential for human error along the way.
