[Music] hey everyone mark brousseau here there are a few things that car owners dread more than the moment the check engine light goes on a check engine light could mean there's big problems in the way our car is operating while our accounts payable departments don't come with a check engine light there are five signs that it's probably time to rethink the way we're doing things number one are your invoice processing costs too high if you're processing paper invoices the answer is assuredly yes is it taking too long to approve your invoices especially when your staff works from home if so it's time to automate third are you experiencing too many erroneous or duplicate payments fourth are you missing out on too many early payment discount opportunities and fifth is your accounts payable department being overrun by phone calls and emails from suppliers looking for the status of their invoices and payments if your ap department is experiencing any of these issues then it's probably time to rethink the way you're doing things
