In finance, Accounts Payable (AP) stands as a critical pillar that ensure not only the stability but also the strategic growth of organisations. For businesses leveraging Sage Intacct, streamlining these processes can unlock new levels of efficiency and insight. This guide aims to illuminate the path towards an optimised AP workflow, harnessing the power of technology and innovation.
Embedding Workflow Integration
The first stride towards AP efficiency involves embedding processes directly into the flow of work. For instance, solutions can offer email integrations, allowing stakeholders to review and approve expenditure without needing to log into a platform. Integrating core processes into every tools can significantly reduce bottlenecks and enhance user experience by priortising ease of use.
Harnessing AI Automation
The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised business operations, and AP processes are no exception. Technologies such as enriched Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and AI-powered 2 and 3-way matching can drastically improve efficiency. For instance, by implementing AI-powered automation, Agilisys were able to save their finance team over 300 hours every month. This staggering reduction in manual tasks highlights the transformative potential of AI in AP workflows.
Leveraging Natural Language Interfaces
As natural language AI interfaces become more prevalent, their inclusion in AP solutions will increasingly becoming a standard expectation. Allowing users to raise purchase requests or query data through natural language can significantly enhance the accessibility of an AP solution. As we become accustomed to the intuitive interactions that Natural Language Processing enables, why should AP systems fall behind our increasing standards for user experience?
Self-Service Customisation
No two organisations are the same and the same can be said for their AP. The individuality of each organisation's AP calls for a bespoke approach to system configuration. The ability to tailor custom fields is paramount, allowing you to track the information that matters to your organisation. The capability for users to adjust and refine these settings on their own not only streamlines the workflow but also infuses your AP processes with the agility to evolve alongside your business needs. This self-service approach to customisation ensures that your system remains as dynamic and responsive as the market in which you operate.
Enhancing Data Visibility
At the heart of informed decision-making is the accessibility of data. Real-time insights presented through intuitive dashboards empower finance teams with the necessary visibility to make strategic decisions. This enhanced data visibility not only streamlines the AP process but also contributes to a more robust financial strategy.
