Gone are the days when business can slow down or stop when someone is out of the office. Mobile technology has become an integral part of doing business in our 24/7 world, and an important requirement for today’s Accounts Payable and Procurement departments.
With mobile Accounts Payable technologies reviewers and approvers can remotely access invoices and related purchase-to-pay documents – such as requisitions, contracts and expense claims – and continue moving them through the process no matter where the approvers are located. With mobile access, invoice cycle times are reduced, bottlenecks disappear and deadlines can be kept. Organizations can say goodbye to late payment penalties and can better leverage payment strategies, such as early payment discounts.
With mobile invoice access companies can conduct these transactions at the speed of business. It makes for more productive reviewers and happier suppliers – and a better connected, healthy business environment.
Businesses have long ago embraced mobility, in terms of wireless phones, email and calendaring, yet there’s so much more available from a mobile perspective for those involved in Procurement and AP. Time waits for no man, and today’s mobile purchase-to-pay process proves there’s no reason to wait.
