For many organizations, the AP department is challenged by manual processes and paper invoices that limit the speed, accuracy and controls critical to the successful management of payables. Automating paper-based AP processes allows companies to realize significant benefits including cost-savings, increased visibility, improved control and enhanced cash management. Bottomline offers technology which enables quick digitization of corporate documents and minimizes manual processes improving payables systems. The patented image data capture technology deployed in Bottomline AP automation solutions integrates seamlessly with customers' existing systems to achieve best-in-class results.

Importantly, reducing the circulation of paper invoices and the need for numerous photocopies has a positive effect on business' carbon footprint, by minimizing the use of paper. Bottomline honors its customers and partners by recognizing the positive environmental impacts of the move from paper to electronic processes with Bottomline's Think Green Awards.
