Paper invoices can get lost, sit on people’s desks, or require manual entry into your AP automation system. It’s not uncommon in many organizations to have to print email attachments and scan them or record them manually line by line. This can be time-consuming and lead to mistakes.

There’s a better — and smarter — way to streamline your invoice entry and processes. QuickBooks users that integrate Rillion AP solutions into their workflow typically see the time it takes from receiving supplier invoices to getting approval and recording the payment cut in half.

This can also dramatically reduce your costs. While the average cost to process invoices varies by company and industry, the rule of thumb is that manual processing can cost $13 per invoice. Automating your workflow may reduce your accounts payable invoice processing costs by as much as two-thirds.

The Benefits of Using Rillion to Automate Your Accounts Payable

When you use Rillion to automate your accounts payable, you can significantly improve your processing speed and accuracy.

Receive Supplier Invoices

If invoices are emailed or sent as PDFs, Rillion can automatically scan them and enter the data into the platform. Paper invoices can be scanned using Rillion’s Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to automatically populate the dashboard.

This reduces the time it takes to enter information into your AP system, reduces duplication of work, and eliminates data entry errors.

Email Notifications

Invoices are automatically routed to the appropriate managers or approvers for sign-off. The system also provides notifications and alerts when invoices are coming due.

Approval Process

With dynamic routing, you can pre-set your approval queues. Invoices are routed based on customizable rules based on role, amount, project, or cost center. Approvers can view invoices on any connected device and approve with a simple click.

Recording

Once approved, invoices are sent for payment and recorded in your ERP automatically without the need for any human intervention.

Other benefits of Rillion for accounts payable invoice processing include:

  • Invoice matching: Easy matching of invoices to purchase orders and delivery for reconciliation
  • Advanced search:  Find any piece of data on any invoice quickly
