Best Practices to Measuring AP Performance After Automating

Most AP departments measure automation success by what got eliminated — things like paper and manual keying. Once those wins are locked in, there’s a natural tendency to declare victory and stop pushing for improvement. But eliminating manual work and actually transforming the function are two different things.

The promise of automation is that it will free up time to tackle new challenges for the business: supporting a supplier financing program, contributing to cash forecasting, or maybe enabling real-time spend visibility. If all you’ve managed to do is accelerate the old process, the limits to your automation approach can show up quickly.
