The AP team needs to process huge volumes of supplier invoices every day to ensure they pay its suppliers in a timely way, otherwise they would not only miss mandatory standards to pay suppliers but also damage its relationship with companies whose goods and services are essential for running the hospital and delivering patient care.
How might we improve and automate the turnaround of processing invoices so that suppliers are paid promptly and our staff are freed up from some of the very transactional work that is currently required?
