Esker, a worldwide leader in document process automation solutions, recently announced that it is launching a mobile accounts payable (AP) automation application for Apple® iPads and iPhones.

Completely free, the application is an ideal mobile solution for vendor invoice approvers — allowing them to easily access invoices in real time as well as approve, contest or comment on them from anywhere and at any time.

“The development of applications on mobile devices is a big part of Esker’s strategy. Our customers are always looking for faster and more accessible ways to do their daily business activities, and processing vendor invoices is part of this trend,” said Eric Bussy, Worldwide Director of Marketing and Product Management at Esker. “The vendor invoice approval application is the first stage in our mobile offering, which will soon include new business
processes (sales orders and customer invoices), and expand to Android™ and Windows
® operating systems.”

Designed for employees responsible for approving vendor invoices prior to payment, the application delivers faster invoice processing and improved efficiency on payment approvals.

The fast and intuitive interface enables Esker customers to:

• View the list of vendor invoices awaiting approval, or those in litigation
• View invoice images as they were received by the accounting department
• Instantly access key invoice data (e.g., supplier name and total amount), as well as any comments from previous approvers
• Approve, put on hold or return an invoice to the previous approver with the option of adding a comment at each step

The Esker application will soon be available in the Apple App Store? for all Esker AP on-demand customers.

Mobile functionality is becoming increasingly popular in AP Automation, in an effort to keep invoices moving through the system when approvers are on the road. The ease of use coupled with the freedom to quickly approve or deny invoices while on the road is a key feature that more and more Accounts Payable automation providers are now incorporating into their systems.
