Accounts payable functions are often repetitive and time-consuming manual processes. With labor shortages this becomes even more burdensome when dealing with multiple vendors that utilize different forms of payment. 

Automating repetitive and tedious manual processes would establish a more efficient workflow and save time and money. Automated processes would require less workforce. But that does not mean fewer employees. It will cover the positions in short-staffed teams and departments that so many industries are having a difficult time recruiting.

Corporations could count on timely payments and better workflow by using automation for all payment types. And with the right accounts payable automation technology, companies would be able to get more done even with fewer employees. They would be able to focus on hiring and recruitment in departments with a more direct income line, such as customer service and sales.
