Manual Accounts Payable (AP) Invoice processes are inefficient, error-prone and slow. A company that sticks to manual processing of paper invoices or scanned images is wasting money on admin costs and unidentified invoice errors. Even worse, manual processes make it difficult to pay suppliers on time, depriving them of vital cash flow, possibly risking their very survival.

This webinar will explain how best-in-class companies use electronic invoicing to handle ten times as many invoices per person as their competitors. eInvoicing isn’t a question of turning paper into scanned images – it's about automatically matching fully electronic invoices with supporting records. The webinar will explain how to use eInvoicing to reduce waste, delays and errors. It will describe what companies have done to maximize straight thru processing (STP) and how they used supplier self-service functionality to reduce vendor inquiries and discrepancy resolution, the two biggest drains on AP resources.

There has never been a better time to implement eInvoicing. Enroll now to learn how you can reduce costs, improve throughput and accuracy, and achieve an ROI in months.
