Now is the time to automate

Automation has become a game-changer for businesses across various industries, enabling them to streamline and optimise their operations. One area where automation has proven to be particularly valuable is in back-office business processes.

Here are a few examples of how intelligent document capture and electronic workflow can automate and standardise back-office processes:

• Accounts Payable Automation: Invoices received from vendors can be automatically scanned and processed using intelligent document capture. The system extracts relevant information such as vendor name, invoice number, and payment due date. This data can then be automatically routed through an electronic workflow system, where it undergoes approval processes and is eventually integrated into the accounting system for payment.
• HR On-boarding: When hiring new employees, there is often a significant amount of paperwork involved. Intelligent document capture can be utilised to extract data from employment forms. This information can then be seamlessly integrated into the HR system, triggering various on-boarding processes, such as payroll setup, benefits enrollment, and IT access provisioning.
• Contract Management: Contracts play a vital role in business operations, but managing them manually can be cumbersome and error-prone. Intelligent document capture can be employed to extract key terms and conditions from contracts. This data can then be fed into an electronic workflow system, which can automate contract approval processes, monitor key dates for renewals or terminations, and provide alerts for potential risks or opportunities.
• Customer Service: Automating customer service processes can greatly enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction. By leveraging intelligent document capture, customer inquiries and complaints received through various channels, such as emails or web forms, can be automatically categorised, prioritised, and routed to the appropriate customer service representatives. This ensures timely responses and consistent handling of customer requests.

By implementing intelligent document capture and electronic workflow systems, businesses can eliminate manual data entry, reduce processing times, minimise errors, improve compliance, and enhance overall productivity. These technologies not only automate routine tasks but also provide valuable insights through analytics and reporting, enabling businesses to make data-driven decisions and continuously optimise their processes for long-term success.
