Most businesses have trouble finding an effective way to process invoices. If there’s a problem with your process, your vendors might not get paid on time, resulting in a lot of frustration for everyone involved. Accounts payable (AP) plays a critical role in addressing this challenge, but it can often lead to high costs, errors, delays, and more if done manually.
Your company needs a smart accounting solution that can efficiently and accurately process invoices in a way that turns your AP department from a “cost center” to one that helps you generate revenue. Americom Imaging Systems has that solution.t taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Suspendisse scelerisque maximus aliquam.

Improve Your AP With Automated Accounting Software
Many problems with AP can be eliminated by automating your processes. When you partner with Americom, you can do exactly that with our automated accounts payable software that reduces errors, labor, and time. It’s designed to streamline standardized AP workflows.
How Does Accounts Payable Automation Software Work?
Our automated accounting software simplifies the entire AP process of receiving, reconciling, approving, coding, posting, and paying invoices. This is done by virtualizing your invoices and pushing them through a digital workflow. The process starts by extracting information from your invoices. It then:
- Matches invoices to POs and reconciles information
- Attaches proper general ledger (GL) codes
- Looks up payment terms and discounts
- Routes invoices to approvers or back to vendors if errors are detected
Processes and issues payment using secure virtual credit card numbers
What Does Automated AP Solve?
Americom helps you avoid the following problems through our software. It can take care of every step in the process, including sending errors back to the vendor.
- High Costs: AP processing can get expensive. The national average cost of manually processing invoices is $9.60 per invoice. That can quickly stack up the more invoices you process.
- Payment Delays: Processing is known to be a time-consuming task that can lead to delayed payments.
- Manual Labor: Manual processing requires data entry from employees. This can lead to errors and other problems.
- Payment Methods: A mismatch in payment methods can result in frustration between you and your vendor.
- Transaction Visibility: Traditional AP lacks visibility when it comes to the transaction. This typically causes extra costs, delays, chargebacks, and payment cycle disruption.
