Finance Automation: Automating your financial management

Finance automation is revolutionizing financial processes, providing an efficient and time-saving solution. In fact, according to a KPMG study, a staggering 96% of finance managers believe that automation can handle the majority of traditional tasks, including invoice processing, accounting and order management. By embracing new automation technologies like digital process automation (DPA) or robotic process automation (RPA), your organization can save time and money, eliminate tedious, manual tasks, and increase transparency and control over your finances.

The JobRouter® digital process automation platform is your perfect ally in finance. It is fully customizable to suit your needs, enabling you to automate mundane tasks while fostering seamless collaboration between different departments. This ensures that controlling is seamlessly integrated with all other departments, optimizing governance, IT, purchasing and sales processes.

The payoff of Finance Automation

Traditional finance departments often struggle with errors and data loss due to manual processes, like relying on email correspondence and spreadsheets. Implementing finance process automation and standardizing finance-related processes vastly improves collaboration, reduces errors and increases overall productivity. The right finance automation solution offers many key benefits for any company.

Less susceptibility to errors

Automated data capture and processing eliminate errors by providing a full overview of all your company’s financial processes, such as invoices and contracts, within a single tool. You never have to switch back and forth between multiple systems or sort information manually.

Streamline and accelerate approval processes

Finance Automation speeds up approval processes. By defining roles and rules, you determine who has the authority to review and approve invoices, so the process keeps moving ahead smoothly.

Measurable results

Finance automation software offers customizable dashboards, allowing you to analyze processes and identify potential causes of inefficiencies.

Improved collaboration

With the help of a finance automation tool, employees can create and track requests, such as orders, any time. The tool also sends automatic status updates to keep all stakeholders up to date.

More time for strategy

By automating manual processes, your finance team can shift its time and focus towards generating essential statistics and reports. This empowers them to make well-informed strategic decisions that help drive the business forward.

Common use cases for automation in finance

Finance is filled with repetitive manual tasks that demand attention daily or monthly, whether it’s ordering, purchasing, payments, cost reimbursements or expense management. Here are four common use cases in which automation makes a major difference for finance teams:

Procure-to-pay

Procure-to-pay (P2P) compromises all processes involved in the purchase and payment of goods or services in a company. It covers everything from issuing purchase requisitions, to order management, invoice processing and payment.

Invoice processing

Digital invoice management is often one of the first processes that companies choose to introduce when they begin their automation journey. Finance automation software efficiently matches invoice data with pre-captured order data, so there is never any need to enter data manually.

Order-to-cash

Order-to-cash is the counterpart to procure-to-pay (P2P), seen from a supplier’s perspective. It covers the processing of a customer’s purchase transaction from the moment an order is received until it is paid. Order-to-cash can complement the P2P process.

Accounts Payable

Accounts payable is an area of finance that deals with the billing of services by vendors. In this case, process automation supports you by streamlining order management, invoice processing and payment commissioning.

Treasury management

For the finance department, treasury management involves handling banking and financing transactions, ensuring sufficient liquidity. Process automation brings clarity and oversight to complex treasury management processes.
