Reasons to talk to us:  


Speak to us if you're experiencing any of these scenarios:

  • Too much paper, too many people, high cost associated with manual invoice processing
  • Too many invoice errors and supplier inquiries about invoice/payment status
  • Lengthy invoice approval cycle contributing to poor on-time-payment performance and preventing the capture of all available early payment discounts
  • Increased business risk from inability to conform to indirect tax methods such as VAT and other country-specific requirements for e-invoicing
  • Legacy business networks such as EDI too expense, difficult to maintain, and have limited reach (only small number of large suppliers)
  • Looking to move beyond scanning/workflow and eliminate - not perpetuate - paper invoices
  • Limited cost savings due to labor arbitrage from outsourcing - seek next level of cost savings and business process transformation to cope with escalating invoice volumes
  • Unable to effectively consolidate processing of PO and non-PO invoices
  • Can’t easily track purchase orders or match orders to invoices / contracts to ensure compliance
  • No way for suppliers to maintain their own account information
    Limited spend visibility and too many suppliers to manage
  • Highly decentralized organization presents obstacles to invoice automation
    Poor accounts payable control
  • Need real-time visibility into account payable liabilities and line-level data for spend analysis
  • Paying suppliers immediately rather than strategically managing cash outflows and payment terms
