There are many benefits to AP automation tools. Some of those benefits include:  Saving time: Traditional ways of managing AP include a lot of manual work. Automating your bill pay process can lead to an 80% reduction in time handling.  Fewer errors: Accurate accounting is crucial for the health of business financials and growth. Accounting mistakes usually are the result of human error and can be avoided by automating your accounting, including your bill pay process. Improved security: Unlike cash or paper checks, digital payments leave a clear trail and can’t get lost or stolen on the way.
