What does A/P's 'to-do' list look like?
Automation. Automation. Automation. That seems be the consensus when it comes to what’s on the top of A/P managers’ “to-do” lists.
According to a recent study by the Aberdeen Group, process automation is the top priority for 68% of A/P departments.
The study found that other top priorities were: cash flow and liquidity management; collaboration between procurement, A/P and treasury; and boosting payment performance.
Check out the chart below to see how high A/P departments ranked the priorities above.

A/P salary (benefits included) ÷ the # of items processed = current cost
