Frequently asked questions
Accounts Payable Processing Calculator FAQs
How does the Accounts Payable Processing Calculator work?
The calculator estimates the potential time and cost savings your organisation could achieve by automating accounts payable processes. It uses the information you provide, such as invoice volume and current processing methods, to compare manual handling with a more streamlined automated approach.
Is the calculator free to use?
Yes. The calculator is free to use and is designed to give you a quick, practical estimate of the potential savings available through AP automation.
How accurate are the results?
The results are indicative rather than exact. They are based on typical processing benchmarks and the information you enter, so they should be treated as a guide to help you understand the scale of the opportunity.
What information do I need to use the calculator?
You’ll generally need a basic understanding of your current invoice volumes and internal processing approach. The more accurate the information you enter, the more useful the estimate will be.
What kinds of savings does the calculator estimate?
The calculator is designed to highlight potential savings across areas such as manual processing time, operational costs, efficiency gains, and the reduction of avoidable bottlenecks in your AP workflow.
Who is this calculator for?
This calculator is ideal for finance teams, accounts payable staff, CFOs, finance managers, and organisations looking to understand the potential value of automating their AP processes.
Does using the calculator commit me to anything?
No. Using the calculator does not commit you to a product or service. It is simply a helpful tool to explore what automation could look like for your organisation.
What should I do after getting my results?
Once you’ve reviewed your results, the next step is usually to speak with our team. We can help you interpret the estimate, answer your questions, and show you how those savings could translate into a real-world AP automation solution.
Invoice Processing Cost Calculator FAQs
What does the Invoice Processing Cost Calculator measure?
The calculator estimates the likely cost of processing invoices within your current workflow and compares that with the potential savings available through automation. It helps you understand the financial impact of manual invoice handling.
Why is invoice processing often more expensive than it seems?
Many organisations only think about the visible labour cost, but invoice processing also includes time spent on approvals, data entry, chasing information, resolving errors, and managing delays. These hidden inefficiencies can add up quickly.
Is this calculator suitable for organisations of any size?
Yes. Whether you process a relatively small number of invoices or handle high volumes across multiple teams or locations, the calculator can provide a useful estimate of your current costs and potential savings.
Are the results a quote?
No. The results are not a formal quote. They are an estimate based on the information entered and common industry benchmarks, designed to give you a clearer sense of the potential business case for automation.
What can invoice automation improve?
Automation can help reduce manual handling, improve accuracy, speed up approvals, increase visibility, reduce exceptions, and free your team to focus on higher-value work rather than repetitive admin.
Can the calculator help support an internal business case?
Yes. The calculator can be a useful starting point for internal discussions by helping you quantify the potential value of improving invoice processing efficiency.
Do I need technical knowledge to use the calculator?
No. The calculator is designed to be straightforward and easy to use. You do not need any technical or systems expertise to complete it.
What happens after I complete the calculator?
After you complete the calculator, you can use the results as a starting point for a broader conversation with our team. We can help you understand the findings, explore your options, and discuss what a tailored solution could look like.
