How Proactis helps
Proactis introduced a fully-automated paper invoice scanning and PDF import solution with intelligent data capture and query desk resolution. This in-house invoice capture solution enabled the Council to leverage existing Unit4 Business World functionality with purchase invoices being received faster, with less effort and with greater accuracy.
Paper invoices are rapidly converted and stored as electronic images to increase visibility and transparency, eliminating the source of bottlenecks and errors. This has resulted in accurate payments and adherence to business rules. Queries are also resolved quickly through dedicated, web-based query resolution functionality.
Benefits
The implementation is exceeding its objectives of AP automation with annualised invoice processing savings of over £120,000. Increasing the level of control and transparency of invoice processing throughout the organisation has also delivered compliance that was not previously possible with a decentralised process.
Capturing all 90,000 incoming invoices directly into the system to support ‘minimal manual effort’ has dramatically reduced the complexity and cost of the Accounts Payable operation, increasing AP process efficiencies by 66%.
