Manual data entry is exhausting, especially when entering the same information twice in different locations.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re not alone in these struggles. 53% of businesses need to enter data from one system to another \u2013 making data entry one of the biggest time wasters for accounting teams. [1]<\/p>\n<p>No wonder many accounting departments work long hours at the end of the month or year.<br \/>\nMake financial operations management more efficient by moving away from manual work and automating invoice processing.<\/p>\n<h2>Solve Modern AP Problems With Smart Solutions<\/h2>\n<p>Most companies now receive invoices by email, but some still process invoices manually.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, employees are stuck with the task of entering information manually based on invoices received. Not only does it take longer to add all information to Xero, but information is also more likely to have errors and mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>A survey shows that 21% correct errors after transferring information from one system to another. Data processing doesn\u2019t stop there &#8211; 39% spend extra hours ensuring that information from one platform is consistent with data on another system.<\/p>\n<p>Envoice eliminates all this extra work by extracting information from the invoice and syncing data extracted to your Xero.<\/p>\n<h3>AI-Powered Technology Extracts Accurate Data Faster<\/h3>\n<p>With the Envoice app, you don\u2019t need to copy and paste or encode information from invoices and receipts.
