aCcent for payables software

Ascent for Payables is built on Ascent Capture, the world's most popular information capture platform. Ascent reduces costs and accelerates business processes by automating the three basic steps in capturing information: collecting data and documents from the source, transforming them into retrievable information, and delivering it all into databases, content management systems and line-of-business applications. Ascent is a robust platform that can be easily deployed in a single department or be expanded to support the capture needs of an entire distributed enterprise. With Ascent as its foundation, Ascent for Payables is a solid solution for accelerating your AP workflow.

Built on the Power of Ascent
 

Ascent for Payables helps you keep a record of your AP process. As each batch of invoices is scanned into the process, it is electronically date and time stamped, and the vendor and invoice date are automatically identified. This gives your ERP or archive systems the necessary information to recall any invoice when you need it.
 

Gain an Auditable Business Process
 

Early payment discounts are a sure way to minimize costs. But you can only take advantage of them if your AP team can expedite payment. Whether you process dozens or thousands of invoices each day, Ascent for Payables accelerates your workflow so you can make the most of vendor discounts. Using sophisticated data extraction technology, it identifies invoices so they can be quickly routed to the appropriate AP representative for immediate fulfillment.
 

Never Miss a Discount Again
 

How much time does your AP team waste every day just in locating and retrieving documents from file cabinets? Ascent for Payables ensures that documents are classified and indexed for easy retrieval in an electronic archive system. Now other departments can retrieve files themselves instead of tying up your AP team. And when you do need to retrieve a document, it is available in seconds - not minutes, hours or days.
 

Say Goodbye to Retrieval Time
 

Imagine processing all your invoices the day they are received, no matter how many batches you handle each day. Picture the benefits of recording the batch number and date received, identifying the vendor and even capturing data from key invoice fields - not manually, but automatically with a high-powered document scanner. Think of the time you would save by quickly delivering your invoices and key data field values to your online archival and retrieval systems for further processing - without a lot of manual data entry.
