A recent survey by the Institute of Financial Operations & Leadership reveals that 49% of businesses say that invoice processing takes five or more days a month, underscoring the need for a more efficient approach.
For small businesses and AP/AR departments, the challenge is clear—how do you streamline invoice processing while maintaining accuracy? Today, we’re exploring how integrating QuickBooks with intelligent capture technology can do just that – giving businesses ways to save time, reduce costly manual errors, and improve overall efficiency.
How Businesses Use QuickBooks
QuickBooks is a renowned financial and accounting software used by countless businesses worldwide to manage everything from accounting tasks to expense management. The platform helps with:
- Accounting tasks
- Inventory management
- Accounts Payable/Receivable (AP/AR)
- Taxes
- Expenses Management
- Payment Processing
While QuickBooks is a powerful tool, manual data entry from other systems can seriously hamper its efficiency. The solution? Integrating QuickBooks with intelligent capture technology.
The Challenge of Manual Invoice Processing in QuickBooks
While QuickBooks offers robust features, manual handling of invoices can hinder productivity. Such challenges include:
- Error-prone Data Entry: Manual data entry can be error-prone, leading to costly mistakes such as duplicate payments and incorrect vendor information.
- Time-consuming Processing: Manually extracting data from invoices and entering it into QuickBooks is a time-consuming process, taking up valuable employee time that could be spent on other important tasks.
- Payment Delays: Manual invoice processing can cause invoices to be lost or misplaced, leading to delayed payments and potential late fees.
- Inefficient Workflows: Without automation, invoice processing can be a disjointed and cumbersome process with manual handoffs between various departments or team members.
Such challenges can lead to financial discrepancies and operational bottlenecks, making it difficult for businesses to keep up with the momentum.
Leveraging OCR Technology for Invoice Capture
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology transforms the way businesses handle invoices. By converting paper invoices and digital documents into searchable and indexable data, businesses can automate data entry, increase accuracy, and drastically improve productivity. Intelligent OCR allows for the extraction of key invoice details such as:
- Invoice Number and Amount
- Line Item Descriptions and Costs
- Supplier/Vendor Information
- Purchase Order Numbers
Through the integration of OCR with QuickBooks, companies can automate tedious processes, reduce errors, and focus on strategic financial insights.
