Use strategic financial management to transform your business
Financial management is the heartbeat of all businesses. And it goes beyond good accounting.
This is not news to any C-suite member. But in our evolving business climate, it usually falls to the ‘money people’ to lead digital transformation, provide reliable financial information, and effectively manage costs.
In Gartner’s 2024 finance executive priorities survey of 185 CFOs’ 2024 priorities, achieving successful outcomes in finance transformation was the top concern, showing that “70% of finance transformations are either less impactful or moving slower than expected.”
Partnering with the IT department for optimal results certainly goes a long way. But the right technology must also be well-accepted and adopted by finance employees of various ages and stages.
Let us help you introduce real improvements with finance automation and bring your team on the digital transformation journey while improving productivity and maintaining compliance.
Automate accounts payable and expense management
Digitise the accounts payable (AP) process to automate the entire AP process from start to finish. Minimise manual labour when it comes to receipting invoices, verifying vendors, reviewing invoices, approving invoices, and paying invoices.
Save time and money, improve visibility and control, and reduce the tedious workload that manually processing invoices involves. All while keeping your suppliers happy and paid on time.
Accounts payable and expense management automation in action
Automatically capture digital copies of your invoices (scanned, emailed, or physical), key information is extracted and stored in a centralised location.
Workflows capture data entry, match invoices to P.Os, payment approval, and invoice validation, all based on your preset approval flows.
The data is then uploaded into your existing ERP system.
Invoices are automatically directed to your accounts team to process.
Gain real-time visibility of invoices ready for processing, outstanding POs and projected payments.

Simplified invoice processing
The ease and simplicity of AP automation means that the process can be streamlined from start to finish, from creating an invoice through to approval and execution. All information is recorded and stored safely and accurately, freeing up your accounts team.
Automated PO and invoice matching
Turn around invoices in a fraction of the usual time. Automatically match invoices and purchase orders, and identify variances or outstanding invoices easily.
Payments on time, every time
Faster approval capture with automated AP allows for rapid processing of payments, increasing your ability to meet payment terms.
Streamlined approval management
Set customised workflows to digitally route invoices to the right delegate for approval. Track and trigger follow-up for unactioned items. Minimise unnecessary delays, misplacing invoices, or multiple prints.
Automate accounts receivable
Seamless and responsive account management and professional, repeat-business customer relationships are the minimum standards most businesses work to attain. The accounts receivable process (AR), from initial account set-up to payment and reconciliation is critical to business survival.
Late payment or non-payment of accounts is a massive business risk. You have your own suppliers and employees to pay, and the business needs investment. While you can’t always control revenue flow, you can take steps to ensure your accounts receivable workflows are as proactively efficient as the latest technology will allow.
Experience the power of finance automation that effortlessly gives you the power to get paid faster, secure your revenue, and optimise your cash flow and staff resources, all with total dashboard visibility and control of cash flow and liabilities.

Banish growing pains and make room for expansion with finance automation solutions
Digital transformation is far from optional in a competitive environment and in challenging economic times. It’s the game-changer that unlocks possibilities for strong growth with better productivity and tightly controlled spending. Consider how your accounting roadblocks will dissipate and how your competitive advantage will grow.
Happier customers
Customers expect fast service. With automated processing, create accurate invoices with the touch of a button. Reducing manual workloads means less time spent on repeated finance tasks and more time spent on what really matters – your customers.
360° view of customer activity
Effortless management of customer information is possible using the customer dashboard that shows every interaction and status of orders and payments.
Reduced paper reliance
Digitising the processing, storing, and accessing of your accounting documents means reducing reliance on paper, printing costs and the risk of misplacement, along with the space issues of physical filing and retrieval.
Smarter resource allocation
Time, resources, paper – it all adds costs to your business. Increase accuracy and the number of invoices processed, while reducing the time it normally takes! Recovered time and resources can be directed elsewhere.
Better external relationships
Missing payment deadlines can strain otherwise good business partnerships. Chasing creditors is disheartening and time-consuming. Automation means that your invoices are accurately paid in accordance with payment terms, and payments are received and correctly allocated to keep the cash flowing.
Improved staff satisfaction
Removing the mundane elements of important everyday accounting actions reduces employee stress. It also creates the opportunity for value-added work and a better workplace environment with happier staff.
Complete access, visibility, and control
Digital capture and tracking make it easier and quicker to detect and resolve errors. Real-time reporting creates accurate, actionable insights and proactive management opportunities.
