"I like doing manual data entry!" -- said no one, ever.
Invoices come in different formats and layouts which makes it more challenging to extract data manually. Who wants to be buried in a mountain of invoices?
It takes $10 and eleven days to process a single invoice.
Invoice data is sensitive and confidential and, one small error can cost the company billions of dollars and its reputation. Unfortunately, with manual invoice processing you cannot avoid human mistakes. Even the best of us can slip up and type "1O0" instead of "100." Double verification is time consuming and it puts employees in a state of stress as they have to constantly verify their work.
There is also the risk of late payments or duplicate payments which represent more than 1 % of their payments.
