How much money could be saved through automation?
What is finance automation?
We live in an ever-evolving society that has allowed businesses to automate different aspects of their operations which previously would have been performed manually. Through automation, companies have transformed their finance departments, which has resulted in them saving significant time and resources.
According to Gartner, automation could save finance teams up to 25,000 hours of work. This translates to a cost saving of around £685,500.
There are many benefits which come as a result of implementing finance automation:
- Immediate decrease in manually intensive tasks;
- Handle invoices by exception, instead of handling them all;
- Reduced document storage requirements;
- Significant improvements in processing time and;
- Enhanced visibility of outstanding invoices and approvals.
