How Accounts Payable Automation optimizes cash flow in your business ecosystem?

Assume a scenario consisting of client W and vendors X, Y, and Z. Client W has to pay his vendors regularly and in time such that they are able to process the supplies and have ready availability of raw material. If vendors X, Y, and Z are not able to process the supplies, client W’s business gets affected thus affecting his cash flow too.

Accounts Payable Automation allows business ecosystems to always keep the lights on. As sending invoice images and making payments becomes online, cash flows are optimized, and processing of supplies becomes seamless thus keeping the ecosystem functioning smoothly.

This solution engages straight-through processing (STP) by using intelligent document processing (IDP), robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML), analytics, and workflows. It captures and routes the data from the invoice images to the respective units for processing.

How does Accounts Payable Automation work?

The AP solution uses 2/3 way auto-matching using goods received note (GRN) and advanced shipping notice (ASN) and auto-route the payment advice through pre-defined logic to the concerned stakeholders.

Visualization elements and dashboards display different process KPIs, offer visibility, and transparency across the entire process.
