In the business world, every little advantage helps. One surefire way to improve efficiencies within your business is by switching to automated payments.
What is payment automation?
Payment automation is an integrated solution that allows businesses to make computerized bill payments directly through an electronic payment system.
Why is payment automation beneficial?
Automated accounts payable solutions streamline processes, remove human error, cut down on costs, speed up invoice processing, and more:
Automated Payments Save Money
According to Ardent Partners “The State of B2B Payments 2017,” 51 percent of organizations rate cost savings as the top benefit seen from electronic payments.
Automated Payments Save Time
When it comes to accounts payable, time IS money. Automated payments allow companies to process payments instantly and automatically. No more misplaced invoices, no more time wasted hunting down payments, and no more wondering when a payment will be approved. Faster approval time offers your company greater flexibility and improved cash flow. Automated, electronic payments guarantee that orders and invoices get to where they need to be, and ensures that your suppliers and contractors can be paid faster.
Automated Payments Reduce Fraud
Cheque fraud is the most common type of payment fraud. When you add up all the fraud management fees and reconciliations, the cost of cheque fraud alone is worth making the switch to electronic payments. Accounts payable fraud detection is easy with an automated system.
Automated Payments Reduce Errors & Duplicated Payments
If something is done manually, there is always the possibility of an error. With hundreds (or thousands of invoices), mistakes can and do happen. One simple accounting error can waste time, sour business relationships, and lead to multiple erroneous payments. Automated payment systems can easily recognize and fix any errors or inconsistencies. With automated accounts payable processes, your business will never again mistakenly pay an invoice twice or overpay a supplier.
