Esker Expands Connectivity Suite for Accounts Payable Integration
Esker, a leading global provider of AI-driven business solutions tailored for the Office of the CFO, has recently announced a significant enhancement to its Connectivity Suite. This expansion includes pre-built connectors that enable real-time integration of Esker Accounts Payable with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This integration simplifies and automates the supplier invoice processing workflow.
The Significance of Seamless Integration
With a longstanding partnership between Esker and Microsoft, users can benefit from seamless integration to enhance productivity. The Esker Accounts Payable solution seamlessly integrates supplier invoice processing directly into ERPs. This means that businesses can streamline and automate AP processes, improving the speed of invoice verification and approvals while supporting mobile users. As a result, companies are empowered to enhance collaboration across departments, facilitating smoother financial operations.
Transforming the Invoice Process
According to Esker’s findings, integrating AP automation can significantly accelerate invoice processing. Users can potentially receive and enter invoices up to 65% faster, reduce processing costs by as much as 60%, and enhance overall invoice accuracy, achieving rates up to 99%. This level of efficiency not only helps organizations save time but also optimizes their financial workflows.
Improved User Experience Through Software Solutions
The latest updates allow users to receive, enter, and track supplier invoices directly in Esker, all without the need to navigate across various software applications. By employing an AP workflow independent of ERP systems, continuous business operations are ensured, allowing for 24/7 access to invoice approvals. This feature aids in eliminating bottlenecks associated with role-based ERP access and enhances the training experience for new users, thereby improving overall adoption rates.
Key Features of the Connectivity Suite
Esker’s Connectivity Suite introduces a variety of features that enhance the user experience:
- Simple connector setup that connects Esker Accounts Payable with Microsoft Dynamics 365, operational within a few days.
- Real-time access to reference data and the capability to create invoices instantly.
- Fully automated and auditable posting for both purchase order and non-purchase order invoices.
- Direct access to original invoice images and processing data from the ERP invoice records.
- Streamlined management of invoice posting errors, ensuring relevant data is readily available within Esker Accounts Payable.
- Enhanced visibility and approval features enable users to manage invoices on the go, eliminating processing delays.
The impact of these improvements is felt almost immediately by users once the new connector is implemented. Feedback from clients highlights that implementation is notably quick, with Esker solutions becoming operational within just two to three months. One satisfied user noted, 'We can now seamlessly book invoices from Esker directly into Microsoft Dynamics 365 and monitor them from initial validation to processing and payment, with real-time updates between the systems. This integration has saved us time by reducing manual tasks while enhancing security.'
