Why are CFO’s relying on OCR technology to speed-up document management processes?

Efficient invoice processing saves organisations time and money while reducing manual data entry and OCR technology plays a major role on allowing companies to automate their data input processes, saving them time and money while increasing data accuracy levels. That is the reason why CFO's, Accountants, Bookkeepers and all Finance Professionals in general are relying on OCR technology to speed-up invoice processing routines while automating document management processes. 

For this Sage users have available PaperLess software, a solution seamless integrated with Sage, developed by Sage Developer, PaperLess Europe, that offers Automatic Invoice Recognition with two layers of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract the relevant data from your invoices into PaperLess, which will then be sent to other colleagues for approval within the same workspace.

Take a look at the video to see how PaperLess Automatic Invoice Recognition for Sage works

Businesses have been relying heavily on manual invoice processing. Dealing with paper invoices can be time consuming and can cause many human errors with manual data entry. Some companies are still using the traditional methodology Scan to Archive, which means they only digitise invoices for archiving purpose. Unfortunately, countless manual errors happen because of the old fashion way of processing paper invoices in an organisation. The latest methodology Capture>Process>Archive has become the most efficient way for invoice processing. PaperLess captures your invoice data by digitising paper invoices at an early stage of the workflow process.

Every business deals with invoices, so efficient invoice processing is crucial for running a profitable business. After several months, invoices from previous months may still be pending and without approval. Entering large amount of data from the invoices into your computer can be so tedious that manual mistakes are unavoidable.

For companies that receive many invoices from the same supplier on a regular basis, PaperLess efficient invoice processing creates customised invoice template for a particular supplier. Next time you run automatic invoice recognition on the same supplier, there is no need to edit the accounting lines over and over again.

PaperLess makes invoice processing simple and smart. After invoices have been digitised and edited in PaperLess, businesses can post batches of invoices directly into their existing accounting applications. PaperLess integrates seamlessly with Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Business Suite, Sage 200 Extra Online and many other popular accounting applications, so the synchronisation of invoice recognition for Sage happens instantly in the background.

PaperLess Tips for Sage – Document Scanning Software for Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Business Suite and Sage 200 Extra Online

PaperLess document scanning manages all your paperwork from scanning and adding electronic documents to processing them in your existing accounting applications. PaperLess uses the latest methodology Capture>Process>Archive to capture data at the start of the document workflow process so that all your paper documents can be digitised and handled more efficiently online.

After running automatic invoice recognition, businesses can post accounting transactions with the relevant documents attached directly from PaperLess into their existing accounting applications, namely Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Business Suite and Sage 200 Extra Online.

PaperLess integrates seamlessly with Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Business Suite, Sage 200 Extra Online and many other popular accounting applications. The synchronisation happens instantly in the background. There is no need for companies to give up their accounting applications in order to go paperless. Colleagues can view the accounting transactions stored in the Accounting Archive folder at a later stage.

PaperLess document scanning digitises your paperwork as early as possible in your business processes saving time and money. Businesses can scan paper directly into PaperLess or drag and drop multiple file types from emails and your computer. The PaperLess edit TIF functions enable businesses to merge, split and re-organise documents electronically so working through a batch of paper documents is quick and easy.

Efficient document scanning software makes better workflow management. When businesses add a document to PaperLess, the document also has a unique number, which means your colleagues can easily locate a document at a later stage by entering this document’s unique number. Businesses can use the Scanning menu to add one or more documents at a time and control the scanner from PaperLess.

Not only document scanning software, PaperLess is also a piece of document storage software. PaperLess stores all your documents, both accounting and business documents, in separate folders in the PaperLess workspace so companies can keep their data secure.

PaperLess document scanning software uses two layers of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract the relevant data from your invoices by using Automatic Invoice Recognition. PaperLess handles multiple suppliers with multiple document formats, and also supports XML invoices. Automatic Invoice Recognition saves time and reduces manual errors so workflow management in your organisation is more efficient.
