Hoorah: Invoice capture. Automation regardless of the source!

One of the key elements of the MetaViewer Paperless Accounts Payable solution its ability to capture transaction information regardless of the external or internal source and standardize it for workflow approval, vendor notification and self-service processes.  In other words, regardless of how the information gets to you, the system works exactly the same.

MetaViewer has several ways to make it easy for your vendors to send you invoices electronically.  The MetaViewer Vendor Self-Service Portal has a simple online registration and invoice delivery process for your vendors.  The MetaViewer Email Invoice Capture automatically monitors a specially designated inbox and identifies and processes any invoice received via email. 

These solutions make it simple for your suppliers to sign up and participate, providing you with electronic invoices that can be indexed with 100% accuracy and routed to the appropriate workflow step with no additional resources needed. This has the added bonus of saving your vendors the time and cost of processing and mailing paper invoices.

Paper Invoices.  An unfortunate evil, but MetaViewer has you covered.
Elimination of paper is one of the primary goals of any Accounts Payable automation project.  By far the best way to do that is to prevent the paper from being produced in the first place.  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of paper!  We also realize, however, that regardless of your efforts, some vendors will always provide you with paper invoices.
