What’s your biggest Accounts Payable automation problem?
Manual, error-prone processes
Handling invoices in various formats (PDFs, emails, paper, EDI) leads to errors, delays, and costly rework due to manual data entry and processing.
Tradeshift captures and digitises invoices from any format—automating data extraction, validation, and PO matching—eliminating manual work and reducing errors.
High invoice processing costs
Manual workflows for coding, matching, and approvals make the AP process inefficient and expensive, with costs compounding as invoice volumes grow.
Tradeshift enables straight through processing by automating coding, matching, and approvals, cutting processing costs and accelerating cycle times.
Lack of visibility and control
Limited transparency in AP makes tracking invoice statuses, approvals, and cash flow difficult, leading to late payments, poor forecasting, and non-compliance risk.
Tradeshift offers real-time visibility into invoices, workflows, and cash flow through customisable dashboards, along with advanced archiving for secure storage.
