Enterprise Accounts Payable is a high-volume process for most large enterprises. The process has several steps and often interacts with multiple back-end systems including ERPs. At the same time, the process is mostly routine and when manually executed, time consuming and error prone.
TAPP™ automates the Accounts Payable process, which leads to better vendor management, cash flows and supplier relationships while improving TAT and compliance.
TAPP™ integrates seamlessly with SAP and Oracle ERP systems.
At the core of TAPP™ is the Extraction Engine comprising proprietary algorithms that use machine learning models to provide highly efficient and accurate data from Invoices. We are also able to provide up to 100% extraction accuracy as a managed service, which reduces your workload significantly.
Further, customised workflows and alerts help manage exceptions. Analytics and metrics help drill down to areas which will make a difference. With TAPP™, end-to-end invoice processing time is reduced to a few minutes.
All of this is available in a pay-per-invoice mode which eliminates capital expenditure. To find out more, book a demo today.
