AP Change-Makers Speak: Modernize Your Accounts Payable

Limited Capacity seats available

Manual paper-based invoice and payment processing is not only time-consuming and prone to data errors, but can result in lost invoices, penalty payments, and lack of control, making the accounts payable function ripe for modernization. What used to work isn’t working anymore, but there are proven methodologies to change this.

Join Kristen Thomasino of AvidXchange, along with a panel of “AP change makers” as they discuss a variety of ways you can optimize your accounts payable function. In this 60-minute session, you’ll learn:

How to substantially reduce invoice processing time
How to eliminate hard costs like paper, postage and Fed Ex fees
How to improve visibility & control over invoices and payments
How to empower off-site teams and reduce the burden on accounting

All attendees will receive a free copy of our Buyer’s Guide to AP Automation for TOPS Users, so be sure to register today!

Six Common Detours in Your Reserve Study Road Map

Limited Capacity seats available

A chart or map is extremely helpful when departing on a journey, but if there are unexpected roadblocks and the territory is unfamiliar, even the most experienced traveler will find it difficult to arrive at the intended destination.
