Supply-chain managers have long faced challenges when it comes to accounts payable and procure-to-pay (P2P) processes. Despite the shift to digital taking place across all industries, many organizations still rely on manual, paper-based AP processes to approve and pay invoices. This creates a slew of problems — including lack of control around timing of payments to suppliers, invoice exceptions that take up precious staff time, and poor visibility for both your finance team and suppliers.
