Does your enterprise deal with an army of suppliers regularly? Is significant team effort spent on reviewing and sorting a multitude of invoices, but you still end up with late or erroneous payments?
Time to take a look at how JIFFY.ai’s Automated Invoice Processing HyperApp can help you save more by making the right payments at the right time.
The Hassles of Manual Invoice Processing
Any manual process is by its nature more tedious and error-prone than an automated solution. The incremental issues that arise when invoice payments are delayed or inaccurate can lead to severe issues in partner relationships and even break the supply chain.
Manual processing is costly and drawn-out and often fraught with a lot of duplicate and erroneous entries. The enterprise is left dealing with collateral damage in many ways:
- Strain in supplier relationships and a threat to company reputation
- Loss of purchase discounts in the invoice payment process
- Inclusion of late penalties, increasing the costs
- Rework to correct the errors adds to the processing time and costs more to the company
- Erroneous invoices may take weeks to straighten out with the suppliers and hamper the end-of-month closure of accounts
Need Of The Hour – An Intelligent Invoice Processing System implemented through Accounts Payable Automation
According to AQPC’s Open Standards Benchmarking Accounts Payable 2020 survey, on average top-performing companies report that nearly 0.8% of their annual disbursements are duplicate or erroneous. On the other hand, bottom performers report more than twice the amount, at 2% of total annual payments. Just look at this in light of your yearly invoice payment numbers, and it will be staggering enough to take a real relook at the process.
An automated invoice processing system helps in cultivating positive vendor and supplier relations. It enables users to maintain accurate records and respond to invoices in a timely fashion while ensuring prompt payments and precise records of supplier relationships.
RPA-Enabled Vs JIFFY.ai’s Intelligent HyperApp Invoice Automation
RPA can quickly automate repetitive tasks in the invoice process and works on a rule-based approach. You can specify rules to flag exceptions when certain conditions are met and raise a request to the human agent to resolve the issue before the payment is approved. An intelligent Accounts Payable automation system applies NLP and Machine Learning (ML) on top of RPA extending RPA’s ability to provide substantial augmentation.
Our HyperApp Invoice Automation solution builds on RPA’s capabilities to ensure the invoice is accurate before being sent for payment.
- ML examines data captured in different fields and tries to establish a mapping between fields that hold the same pattern of data values
- Robust in handling the cognitive 3-way match between the Purchase Order, report of goods received, and the invoice
- Helps to check if the invoice is accurate, is not a duplicate and the invoice corresponds to the goods requested and received
- Can learn as fast and accurately as experienced humans in identifying and interacting with suppliers, automatically performing input intake, coding, processing and routing invoice workflows, denoting payment deadlines, approval workflows and approvers. It requires human interaction only at critical checkpoints.
- Makes it easy for supplier business users to interact directly with the invoice process through easy to use interfaces
- Provides the analytic ability to detect payment schedules well in advance, to reduce errors, and to save costs by incorporating purchase discounts in the invoice process
- Improves cash flow transparency with the validation engine confirming the accuracy of invoices before pushing them into the ERP system and reducing the need for downstream updates
