Utility Expense Management: 4 Key Areas to Optimize Now
Summary
Modern-day 3rd party expense management providers will invest heavily in technology to facilitate automation and limit rote work for staff. It will also mean investing in supporting technology such as optical character recognition (OCR) capabilities that allow for more rapid and frictionless transfer of data from paper invoicing into your system in electronic form. A reputable 3rd party expense management provider will have strong technology, systems, and procedures in place to highly automate the imaging, scanning, and coding process as per defined rules set by your organization and team. Your internal staff will be reserved for higher-order management oversight activities or other challenges that require deeper strategic and analytical thinking. Even though we can all relate to how much fun this type of work is to perform manually, most would agree that the degree to which reconciliation activities can be automated and streamlined with strong technologies and systems, the better.
