Invoice processing: How it works, benefits, and best practices
UNITED STATES, JUL 15 – Automation cuts invoice processing time from over 10 hours to under one hour weekly for 56% of companies, reducing errors and improving vendor payments, experts say.
- Companies process over 1,000 invoices monthly and face issues with manual invoice processing that consume over 10 hours weekly for 56% of them.

- Adopting automated invoice processing can shorten the cycle from over a week to just a few days, enable the capture of early payment discounts ranging from 1% to 2%, and halve overall processing expenses.

- Following a clear assessment, pilot testing, proper training, and parallel operations enable a smoother transition and help finance teams focus on strategic work while enhancing cash flow visibility.
