Benefits of AP Workflow

Companies that automate their Accounts Payable workflow stand to benefit financially, according to a study at IOFM.com:

• Companies that use “limited automation” (no more than 20 percent of invoices received electronically) can expect to receive 52.9 percent of early pay discounts.
• Companies with “moderate automation” (21 to 69 percent of invoices received electronically) can expect 58.5 percent of the same discounts.
• Companies experiencing “significant automation” (at least 70 percent of invoices received electronically) do much better, averaging 74.2 percent of early pay discounts.

If your organization is looking to capture a greater percentage of those early pay discounts – and streamline your AP process at the same time —  Dimensions360® AP workflow can automate your entire transaction lifecycle.
