Accounts Payable Process

Kicking off digital transformation in accounts payable can be challenging. For many AP departments, invoice and payment processing remain manual and paper-intensive. But, end-to-end process automation across the accounts payable cycle can transform AP departments from cost centres into profit centres. Automating everything from the capture of invoice data at the beginning of the AP cycle all the way through to payment, frees AP from paperwork and manual processes to support your organisation’s strategic goals.

The Hyland accounts payable solution leverages the OnBase enterprise information platform to centralise all critical AP documents and automate  processes on a single platform. It makes end-to-end AP automation possible with the ability to capture, integrate, measure, process, store and access critical AP information.
