Recent findings from research and advisory firm, Ardent Partners, reports that accounts payable (AP) automation offers cost and time savings of up to 80% when compared to paper or manual-based processes.

Manual processing of invoices can be laborious, paper intensive, and costly as paper invoices must be manually scanned or captured into an ERP or AP system for processing. According to Ardent, the top priority of respondents is to reduce invoice processing costs. AP Automation enables straight-through processing, where minimal human interaction is needed, leading to increased efficiency and cost savings by cutting down on exceptions.

SoftCo AP automates the entire accounts payable process for organizations such as Logitech and Sunny Delight. Invoices are automatically captured, matched, approved, and easily integrated into ERP and finance systems, reducing invoice processing costs.

“SoftCo’s implementation experience mirrors this research. We have found that automatic invoice matching alone reduces costs and when you add the elimination of paper and time saved by staff, we are seeing our customers achieve up to 90% savings.”
