Quadient's accounts payable solution in the age of digital business efficiency transformation
Sponsored feature
Due to the fast pace of digital transformation, almost every organisation from the telecom, IT, healthcare, logistics, finance, education, and manufacturing sectors is rapidly looking to streamline the operations and improve efficiency. Traditional manual accounts payable (AP) processes are slow, error prone and costly in regard to operational cost.
A welcome advance on this technology is Quadient's accounts payable solution, an industry leading automation tool that aims to change the face of how businesses handle invoices and payments. Whether your primary aim is for growth or improved operational excellence, this solution automates tedious tasks, accelerating workflows, reducing errors and providing real time visibility in financial processes - all of which is essential for your organisation.
The Need for AP Automation is Growing
The fact is that it’s no longer optional for companies to manage AP efficiently across industries. Businesses relying on manual or paper-based AP processes encounter several challenges:
1. Time-Consuming Tasks: Invoices are processed, approved and paid manually and it takes a lot of time.
2. Human Error: Manual data entry increases the chance of errors and payment delays as well as strained vendor relationships.
3. Lack of Visibility: Tracking invoice statuses and liabilities in real time becomes cumbersome without automation.
4. Compliance Issues: These industries need to be strict on regulations and manual processes are not well capable of ensuring them.
Quadient’s accounts payable solution provides all of this in a single, automated platform that boosts accuracy, speeds approvals, and further optimises your financial management.
