Paying and receiving payments on schedule is essential for every business. Invoicing business operations are typically time-consuming and demanding of labor. For CargoWise users, manual invoice processing can lead to delays, errors, cash flow disruptions, mismatched invoices and payments, and multiple invoices making it a tedious and time-consuming task for your team.
But what if you could eliminate these obstacles and make invoicing a smooth, automated process? That is where Robotic Process Automation (RPA) comes in. By combining RPA with your CargoWise platform, you can automate the full invoice processing, from generation to payment tracking, resulting in increased speed, accuracy, and financial management.
What is Invoice Processing, and why is it important?
The process of preparing, confirming, sending, and monitoring invoices between companies and clients is known as invoice processing. It guarantees accurate billing for products or services and timely payment receipt.
However, manual invoice processing comes with significant challenges:
Delays: Manual entry and verification slow down the process.
Errors: Invoice data errors result in late payments and disputes.
Compliance Issues: Failure to provide important details can result in noncompliance with financial requirements.
Cash Flow Issues: Late invoices might lead to delayed payments, compromising your company’s financial health.
By automating invoice processing using RPA, you may overcome these obstacles and achieve operational excellence.
How Does RPA Transform Invoice Processing for CargoWise Users?
By automating repetitive processes, RPA improves invoice processing speed, accuracy, and efficiency. Here’s a step-by-step guide for CargoWise users:
Data Extraction: RPA bots extract invoice data from orders or shipments in CargoWise, assuring accuracy from the start.
Invoice Generation: Pre-defined templates are utilized to automatically generate invoices, reducing the need for manual input.
Validation: The system verifies invoices for errors or missing data to ensure they meet accounting requirements.
Automated Delivery: Invoices are promptly delivered to clients and stakeholders via email or other interconnected channels.
Payment Tracking: Monitor invoice status and payment updates in real-time for enhanced financial visibility.
Archiving: All invoices are securely archived for audit and compliance purposes.
This end-to-end automation saves time while also lowering the chance of human error, resulting in smoother financial operations.
