Efficient administration of all vendor invoices
Accounts payable is one of the most resource-intensive administrative processes today. It is also prone to human error. A misplaced invoice or duplicate payment takes time and effort to resolve.
Manually processing a single invoice can costs approximately €15, or more depending on your industry and your AP process. By automating the invoice process and accounts payable workflow, costs can be reduced by up to 80% per invoice. Regardless of company size, the potential savings are substantial.
Invoice scanning and data capture
ExFlow support all types of invoices including paper, pdf and other electronic formats. Incoming paper invoices are scanned and imported into an electronic workflow. Electronic invoices are imported directly into ExFlow.
Intelligent pre-coding
ExFlow provides pre-coding of all incoming invoices leveraging machine learning, streamlining the process and minimizing manual labor.
3-way invoice matching
ExFlow use the captured data to match the invoices to available purchase orders, contracts and/or goods receipts in order to determine how the invoice should be processed. ExFlow supports standard Dynamics 3-way matching.

Approvers are notified through email to ensure rapid turnaround. The workflow is dynamic and end-users can code the invoice if necessary. Approval can be done on any platform (desktop, tablet or smartphone).
