Take The Pain Out of Your Invoice Process

Take The Pain Out of Your Invoice Process










85% of bills arrive as paper
*. All this paper and a jumble of poorly integrated systems wastes time and leaves critical information difficult to access.

75% of the time taken to process an invoice is spent looking for information.

The average time to process an invoice is 27.6 days with 25% of invoices paid late, incurring late payment charges

A paper based invoice system, and the lack of centralised invoice management:

  • Extends processing time, which can delay payment, and damage critical supplier relationships
  • Results in multiple copies of invoice and related documents being distributed to numerous stakeholders - incurring transit costs and storage costs
  • Leads to poor invoice visibility and tracking,making compliance controls hard to enforce and slow to audit

The Canon/Ecopy solution allows the purchaser to scan in the invoice and related paperwork at the Canon multifunctional printer (MFP). Using ecopy Desktop,this can be electronicaly marked as "Received" combined with the purchase order if applicable,and e-mailed to Accounts Payable where it can be reviewed,approved and the relevent accounting information added. Payment can then be raised and the document archived. 

We can enable you able to search within documents that are stored in a central file for keywords,phrases and numbers removing the need to go looking for paper based documents in a filing cabinet. At the touch of a button and within seconds the document will be on YOUR screen.
