Pegasus Accounts Payable Automation

Invoice capture and Accounts Payable Automation extends the capabilities Opera SE to the next level.

Businesses switching to AP automation typically see invoice processing costs drop by up to 90%, and approvals happen 73% faster.  Imagine what your team could do with that extra time!

Automating your Accounts Payable function provides the simplest way of processing invoices and gives you complete visibility of your financial position to make smart budgeting decisions.

A unique email address is used to capture your invoices, which are then automatically converted into a digital format, including any attachments, invoice header and line details. The AP automation feature uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract all the relevant information from the invoices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to recognise repeated patterns and improve accuracy.

Finance teams have complete visibility and control over the status of every invoice processed to allow for smarter budgeting decisions, and a duplicate invoice check ensures no invoices are paid twice.  An automated bank account capture reduces the risk of fraud and the approval process can happen anytime, anywhere by the nominated approver(s). 

Once approved the invoice will appear in Opera 3 SE with a full audit trail and will be electronically stored for seven years to meet audit requirements.

Key Benefits:

• Save up to 90% in processing time and costs
• Process an invoice for as little as 40p compared to up to £14.50 manually
• Prevent duplicates and fraudulent payments with built in validation
• Automatically code invoices by supplier and invoice lines
• Flexible approval workflows with full audit trails
• Get real time visibility of the status of every invoice
• Invoices are automatically posted to the Purchase Ledger once approved.

With digital invoice capture, scanned, emailed and invoices are all processed from one place with over 99% accuracy. Your AP team gets validated data fast, so they can focus on what really matters.
