Fully touchless invoice processing requires more than just smart invoice recognition. The purchasing process and goods receipt must also be properly set up so that invoices can be automatically matched with orders and receipts. In addition, it helps when invoices arrive directly as processable e-invoices, rather than as PDFs or scans.

A dedicated purchase-to-pay solution helps further increase the level of automation beyond what is often achievable within the ERP system. It also strengthens risk management: processes, controls, and exceptions are safeguarded, regardless of whether the organization uses one or more ERP systems and what stage of ERP development it is currently in.

ViDA covers not only invoice processing but also e-invoicing, e-transaction networks, and international compliance. That’s why it makes sense to partner with a knowledge partner who understands both finance processes and e-invoicing networks. With 4CEE, you also gain access to expertise from a broader partner network, including international partners such as Pagero.

No. A good P2P approach can be implemented in phases, for example by starting with incoming invoices, approval workflows, or matching. From there, automation can be expanded to include purchase requests, orders, supplier processes, and other compliance requirements. This way, the solution grows along with the organization, without unnecessarily disrupting day-to-day operations.
