Today's businesses need to be fast and accurate, and that includes handling invoices. But traditional methods are slow and error-prone because they rely on manual work and many checks. The good news? Touchless technology is here! It promises to completely change how we handle invoices by making them much faster and more accurate.
Understanding Traditional Reconciliation Methods
The standard reconciliation process begins with a fundamental query: "Is this invoice accurate?" This question triggers a series of actions involving multiple parties—from business approvers to auditors—who must sift through both digital and physical documents to validate rates and business records. This traditional approach is not only cumbersome but also riddled with potential for mistakes and inefficiencies.
Past enhancements in this field typically involved expensive upgrades in contract lifecycle management (CLM), improved catalog systems, and stringent supplier onboarding procedures. These improvements, though beneficial, introduced additional complexity and costs.
The OpenEnvoy Model: Pioneering Efficiency in Reconciliation
A stark improvement is visible with the introduction of OpenEnvoy’s model, which revolutionizes the reconciliation process through automation. By correlating invoices directly with orders, rate cards, and business records, OpenEnvoy not only processes but also meticulously verifies each invoice against all relevant contractual documentation.
