AP Automation – The Risk and Cost of Doing Nothing

“Doing something costs something. Doing nothing costs something. And, quite often, doing nothing costs a lot more.” — Ben Feldman

When it comes to Automating your finance function, there has never been a more accurate statement. Accounts payable (AP) automation can seem like a costly and challenging endeavor. Many businesses simply stick with manual AP processes because they are under the misconception that AP automation carries a significant cost, and the implementation process is far too time consuming. However, most businesses often fail to consider the fact that risks to the organization increase exponentially for companies that choose to stick with outdated manual AP processes. Making a carefully calculated pivot and working with the right technology provider will ensure a long-term competitive advantage, proven cost savings, significant return on investment and compliance.
