Chasing Approvals Cost Them More Than Time

For years, a client's Accounts Payable team managed a complex approval matrix that required invoices to pass through multiple staff members, each with their own authorization limits. A single high-value invoice could take weeks to approve, with delays compounding if someone was unavailable or missed a step. Rejected invoices had to start over from the beginning—slowing operations and risking late fees.

Manual tracking, repeated follow-ups, and no centralized accountability made the process inefficient and expensive. That’s when the company partnered with DocuXplorer to implement a better way.

Using DocuXplorer Workflows, powered by AI and OCR, the team built a custom solution that automatically:

  • Identifies invoice amounts,
  • Routes them to the appropriate approvers,
  • Escalates overdue tasks, and
  • Tracks progress in real time.

Now, approvals happen in minutes—not weeks—freeing the AP team from micromanagement and improving on-time vendor payments.

Faster Turnaround, Lower Costs, Greater Accountability

Since automating its expense approval workflow, the organization has seen:

  • Faster invoice processing, reducing turnaround time from weeks to minutes
  • Stronger vendor relationships
  • Streamlined team communication, with automated alerts and escalations
  • Increased visibility, with real-time task tracking and workload analysis
  • Stronger accountability, supported by built-in audit trails

With DocuXplorer, the company not only accelerated its AP processes but also eliminated the risks and frustrations that come with manual workflows. The result? A more agile, cost-efficient finance operation, and a happier, more productive team.
