What You’re Missing with Yesterday’s Automation

When it comes to accounts payable, anything feels better than having a stack of paper invoices piled on desks and in filing cabinets. Automating accounts payable, however, is about more than just turning paper into PDFs. This is especially true for large, complex AP departments that receive larger volumes of invoices and have a more complex workflow. Automations of yesterday are no longer enough to keep up with the high demands of invoice processing, even if the cost per invoice appears cheaper.

This is largely due to the hidden costs of yesterday’s automation. Many large organizations are still heavily processing invoices because the AP team still needs to touch, review, and validate each invoice, plus manual workarounds and exception handling.

In this webinar, we will look at the different pricing models of different automation solutions and what services you really receive for your department and invoicing process. This discussion will include:

• What parts of your process are automated,
• What features come with automation solutions,
• The average cost of different solutions,
• And more!
