True Accounts Payable (AP) Automation from PO to Payment
What the other "automated" solutions leave out
In accounts payable processing, automation is nothing new. But too many so-called "automated" solutions leave large gaps in the payment process. Gaps that require manual delivery of documents. Gaps that expose your accounts to conflicting data. In sum, gaps that cost you time and money.
ACOM closes the AP gaps
ACOM offers an authentically end-to-end accounts payable automation solution that gives you greater control over the entire payment process.
Like other solutions, ACOM provides imaging and workflow management. But ACOM goes much further, applying the power of electronic processing to close the gaps between purchase order generation and final payment. Here's how ACOM works:
-
Automate Purchase Order Generation and Transmission
At the very beginning of the process, ACOM creates and distributes POs electronically, eliminating manual mail delays. Electronic format and delivery reduces delays, errors and costs.
-
Automate Invoice Capture and Processing
ACOM automatically captures and indexes all POs into the EZContentManager document management system, facilitating easy reconciliation of orders against scanned packing lists, invoices and other AP documents. ACOM eliminates expensive processing bottlenecks.
-
Automate Payment Processing
Once an invoice has been approved, ACOM makes payments electronically and automatically generates a notification of payment for the recipient. Cut costs instead of cutting checks.
-
Automate Storage, Management and Archiving of AP Documents
All documents for each transaction are linked and stored electronically for easy retrieval of the entire AP packet. Retrieved documents can be sent via email as attachments, or made available online in just a few clicks. Consolidating documents saves time, effort, money, and space.
