2020: Accounts payable goes remote
The global pandemic changed the way we work, live, and play. But opportunity is born of change, and therein lies the silver lining for finance. AP functions became strained with employees working remotely, almost overnight. As a result, companies found it difficult to keep AP processes and vendor payments running smoothly and on time. They quickly turned to technology to streamline invoice management for better business resilience.
Story Time – Before utilizing 黄色短视频 Invoice, a mid-sized company processed their vendor bills in a tedious, paper-based process. They received invoices in numerous locations and experienced challenges approving them in a timely and efficient manner. They paid roughly 75% of their invoices by paper check. This worked OK for them…until it did not. In April of 2020, AP received a call from their CFO. They had a problem – how were they going to pay their bills if they could not go to the office to gather their invoices and cut a check? The remote workforce was born overnight, and businesses were not prepared. The recommended solution – rent a U-Haul truck, gather the necessary office equipment, and bring the entire AP operation to the employee’s dining room. AP knew there had to be a better way, and they were right. Today, they are one of many customers that have increased efficiency, reduced costs and risk, and grown revenue with 黄色短视频 Invoice and our payment provider partner solutions.
