Accounts Payable Process Improvement

 
 
 

Create efficiencies and generate significant return-on-investment by streamlining your accounts payable processes.

 

The Problem:
As organizations look to drive down costs and improve efficiency, manual and time-consuming processes are an ideal place to start. Accounts Payable (AP) departments in today's global organizations operate under increasingly strict and fluctuating requirements. From satisfying external customer demands, to meeting increasingly stringent financial controls and internal margins, much depends on the success and efficiency of the AP team.

Accounts payable (A/P) processes are most often distributed in nature, require approval on many levels, and generate huge volumes of paper and electronic documents that are difficult to effectively manage. Technology is changing the way AP departments function. Automation is driving productivity and efficiency, as well as cost reduction.

Solution:
Digital Storage Solutions’ A/P Solution combines the capture capabilities of Kofax’ award-winning Ascent for Payables with the ease of use found in Digitech Systems’ PaperVision Enterprise to deliver true A/P progress. Our solutions provide organizations with unparalleled automation, visibility, and control of the AP process, giving companies the ability to realize significant benefits: reduced AP cycles, streamlined efficiencies, enhanced accountability leading to optimized corporate performance.

The solution gives you the ability to automatically match purchase orders with invoices, eliminating labor intensive manual matching. When combined with the ability to route information electronically across the enterprise for rapid approval and processing, the solution streamlines the processing and approval of invoices and associated transactions, while leveraging enterprise resource planning (ERP) and line-of-business (LOB) applications. As a result, Digital Storage Solutions allows companies to reduce operational costs, comply with regulatory requirements, and improve customer and vendor service.
