Cycle time and cost per invoice
Reduce invoice cycle time
and cost per invoice
Remove the keying, matching and chasing that slow invoices down, so people only handle the ones that need judgement.
The question: How do I reduce AP invoice cycle time and cost per invoice?
The short answer
Invoice cycle time is mostly waiting: for someone to key the invoice, find the PO, check the receipt, decide the coding and chase exceptions. InvoiceIQ AP by Analytos removes the keying, matching and coding work, files exceptions with their cause, and advances bills waiting on goods automatically, so people spend their time on the invoices that genuinely need judgement.
