A Business Case for AP Automation
The digital era has come with new opportunities and challenges for finance departments.

The CFO and their team must provide more strategic direction and deeper insights than ever before, all while budgets remain tight.

So how can you “do more with less” to make your business more efficient and productive?

One big step in your digital transformation journey could be to automate your accounts payable (AP) process.

But before you do so, you will need to build a business case so you can get ‘buy in’ from the C suite.

Docuworx will guide you through each step of the business case process, from determining your department’s biggest needs to preparing an actual process plan which delivers an efficient and transparent outcome for your business.

AP automation makes sense for your accounting team and provides evidence of the company’s potential return on investment (ROI).

We provide the only tool you’ll need to present a solid business case for AP automation.

With the right AP automation tool and a well thought out process plan, your team will no longer spend most of the day doing mundane, manual tasks.

Instead, they can focus on higher-value activities and will be excited to work on new projects to drive your business further.

Key benefits of automating AP:

  • Ensure invoices’ accuracy using intelligent indexing to match them with related purchase orders, contracts, or price agreements/ discounts.
  • Automatically route invoices through a multi-step approval process
  • Easily search invoices after directly importing them
  • Post approved invoice amounts directly back to the ERP system
