Manually intensive accounts payable processes significantly impact a business' bottom line, with companies spending huge amounts each year processing invoices, performing purchase order matches, addressing defects and responding to vendor inquiries.

BancTec's accounts payable (AP) automation solution, AP Master®, enables enterprises to significantly lower the processing cost per invoice and gain improved financial management. By leveraging BancTec's advanced technology and optimization experience, you can effectively automate your full accounts payable process while still retaining control. Services include converting invoices to digital format, capturing data and posting payment information to ERP and accounting systems.

Automated data capture and validation processes eliminate repetitive data entry tasks and guarantees your valuable information is captured accurately. BancTec's user-defined workflow further reduces costs by streamlining your processes to ensure faster throughput. On-screen work lists notify employees and supervisors of important information, including payment due dates and number of reminders received - this not only ensures payments are made on time but also helps companies take advantage of better cash flow management. Customized reports provide increased visibility into cycle times, bottlenecks, employee productivity and allow for workload balancing and month-to-month and year-to-year analysis.

BancTec's AP Master offers the best choice on the market for handling accounts payable procedures, reducing costs and letting you focus on what you do best: your business. Our AP Master solution can be customized to address any company's specific needs and requirements, or BancTec can even handle complete accounts payable outsourcing of transactional tasks. We help ease the burden of managing non-core operations, enabling you to take a more strategic view - ensuring accounts payable activities contribute to your company's bottom line objectives.
