High volumes, data complexity, and multiple data sources can cause payment errors. Stopping them can feel like an impossible task.
Utilizing powerful analytics with data visualization makes the task of payment error prevention easy. Business intelligence solutions provide insight into areas of the payment process. The raw data holds lots of information, and analytics helps examine it, turning the information into actionable insights that drive efficiency and grow your profits.
Accounts payable teams are moving away from being solely transactionally focused and are working to add strategic functions that add profit and value to the entire organization.
Business intelligence is a critical part of this shift, delivering the ability to unify information from multiple sources without the need for an IT department to run complex and time-consuming reports.
Having information more readily available arms you to:
Success requires a well-thought-out plan and a workflow process to manage and action the results. Some feel that utilizing a duplicate payment application (DPA) creates additional work for the payables team. While the team will need to review and take action, it is much more efficient to stop an overpayment before it happens than to unwind one that has already been paid. A DPA also identifies potential risks so that proactive measures can be taken to mitigate them.
A business intelligence solution that includes a duplicate payment application and a vendor management application helps businesses gain insights, improve accuracy and efficiency, improve their risk management strategy, and make clear data-driven decisions.
Presenting data in a visual format helps businesses optimize operations and improve efficiency. With data visualization, a company can not only prevent duplicate payments but see root cause analysis and other payment data information identifying actions that will help prevent errors in the future.
90% of information transmitted to the brain is visual. Humans are naturally visual beings. Data visualization helps people see data in a familiar, engaging, interactive way. Information is absorbed at a glance and people understand the insights hidden beneath the numbers. This visual experience encourages and facilitates data-driven decisions.
The right business intelligence solution will better equip financial departments to create value for their teams and stakeholders with visualizations, reports, or dashboards that help address business challenges and answer pressing questions. The result — significant cost savings and improved efficiency profitability.
