Accounts Payable Business Process Improvement that Pays
Properly automating your Accounts Payable departments goes far beyond imaging and workflow. In fact, imaging alone can add effort to an already time-intensive invoice process. Additionally, many workflow solutions amount to nothing more than a difficult to maintain electronic approval process. The goal of reducing paper handling and automating processes may be achieved, but at what cost?
With Ascend’s SMARTouch AP™ Solution you improve your efficiencies far beyond automating manual invoice routing. Not all invoices are created equal! SMARTouch AP will recognize those invoices that need special processing from those repetitive invoices that follow standard processing and eliminate thousands of touches each month. This is just the beginning of how Ascend solution will save an organization more than any other solution every day. “How” is Ascend’s SMARTouch AP business process automation different from other AP imaging and workflow products? SMARTouch solutions must contain certain qualities. First, subject matter expertise of the AP process and challenges begin to explain why a SMARTouch user will have fewer and more intelligent “touches” to process and manage invoices. Ascend’s in-depth knowledge will streamline your AP processes and provide corporate controls give you the peace of mind that is expected from this type of investment. SMARTouch AP advanced technology and design eliminates more steps or “touches” than a standard AP imaging and workflow solution, which explains the often more than doubled ROI.
Cost of OwnershipTypically, the main focus during a system evaluation is the requirements. Fulfilling a checklist of requirements is only the beginning. After an AP automated solution is implemented, ease-of-use and cost of administration are crucial, but overlooked. When maintaining a new system is overlooked many times the cost-saving benefits are lost by shifting the savings from one department to an increased of cost in a support department. |
