The document discusses the benefits of automating invoice processing through e-invoicing compared to manual paper-based processes. It provides examples of companies that were able to reduce invoice processing times from 23 days to 5 days on average, increase early payment discounts captured from 40% to nearly 90%, and improve days payable outstanding while speeding payment timing by over 20%. E-invoicing allows companies to better leverage working capital through early payment discounts, validate invoices more accurately, minimize exceptions, and free up accounts payable staff time to focus on more strategic activities.
