Graphic showcasing both the ABBYY Flexicapture and Laserfiche process and how they work together.

Tired of lengthy, paper-driven processes for accounts payable? Trying to determine the best digital solution in a sea of options?

Automate your accounts payable process with ABBYY and Laserfiche to stay accountable to your vendors and process invoices no matter where the invoices are coming from. For organizations with multiple locations or offices, this streamlined approach speeds up processing times and gives you the capability to remotely operate.

Organizations that implement AP automation reduce their costs and time to process invoices and improve overall departmental efficiency.

1.Reduce manual tasks

Capture invoice data with artificial intelligence and automate GL coding. This saves your accounting staff from manually entering each document into an ERP system.

2. Automate the Approval Process

Stop hand-routing papers from desk to desk, automate it! Staff receives email notifications, log-in and quickly approves invoices.

3. Pay Vendors Faster

Take advantage of early payment discounts and improve vendor relationships.

4. Integrate with ERP Systems

AP automation will not replace your ERP but complement it, allowing you to better streamline your process and increase efficiency.

5. Advance the Security for Records and Compliance

In the paper format, there is limited security and it can be harder to meet DoD 5015.2 compliance. Secure authentication keeps you in the know of who is logged into the system.

How It Works

Let’s Walk You Through the Process:

  1. Invoices are captured using intelligent document processing.
  2. Invoices are routed for approvals.
  3. Complete approvals with a few clicks.
  4. GL coding can be completed once approved.

How ABBYY FlexiCapture Works:
