“This newfound efficiency enables staff to focus on higher-value strategic activities, thereby fostering productivity and growth. Another highlight of AI-powered technology is Improved Accuracy. The reliance on AI for invoice recognition and reconciliation eliminates the risk of human error, ensuring accurate and error-free financial records.
“Also, businesses can rely on precise data for decision-making, forecasting, and financial reporting. Also included in the benefits of the latest in B2B transactions management are streamlined workflows and real-time visibility which reduces the need for manual processes, approval, and payment tasks.
“This streamlining of workflows, we gathered, accelerates transaction cycles, reduces bottlenecks, and enhances overall operational agility. Real-time visibility is another important value of Zero-Touch Invoice Processing. By leveraging open banking, businesses gain real-time access to financial data, enabling instant visibility into cash positions, outstanding invoices, and payment statuses,” Aligba said.
