How to Fully Automate Your Invoices with AI

As you know, AI is changing our lives in many ways. From autonomous cars to Netflix movie recommendations to raise directions, which we tend to rely on, even though we know the route really well. And now AI is transforming finance, specifically in the accounts payable space. This session will introduce the brand new and unique concept of Autonomous AP, which takes the ability to process invoices efficiently way past anything that standard automation can achieve. 

You’ll learn:

- How to autonomously process manual and non-PO invoices in your AP inbox, in 30 mins, without human touch
- How to get your cost per invoice to $2-$6
- How to detect duplicates across your invoices and T&E inline, prior to payment

We’re in the new era of autonomous finance! Digital transformation is happening throughout companies, but finance is where it’s making the biggest impact. Hear from AI experts, Anant Kale and Ali Sadat, on the new era of autonomous finance and how AppZen Autonomous Accounts Payable is eliminating repetitive manual work and delivering predictive intelligence.

The Real Difference Between Finance RPA and AI and Why it Matters

It’s safe to say the unprecedented events of 2020 brought about some major changes, not only in terms of corporate norms, but also in terms of human behavior. A significant portion of the global workforce went full remote, and it’s not all coming back. The lines between business and personal life became increasingly blurred. In this webinar, we’re going to take a deep dive into the latter threat - expense fraud, one of the many challenges that companies have been and are increasingly confronted within today’s evolving work environment.

3 ways to control expense fraud

Using AI to deliver automated, accurate, and fast expense processing is not just an option for CFOs - it is the only way that organizations can hope to deliver complete coverage. In this webinar, you will gain some clear and practical advice for improving the way your organization can go beyond just “managing” spend to being able to remove the waste, fraud and hidden risks lurking in your employee expenses.

Removing unnecessary spend, waste, and fraud with AI

Expense management has been overlooked for far too long, but that’s about to change. Now is the time to recognize expense management as a vital part of the enterprise that can drive efficiencies, strengthen corporate culture, and encourage healthy and lasting staff engagement. In this webinar, we’ll talk about the five vital steps companies need to follow in order to achieve expense policy excellence.
