Tipalti, the global payables solution, recently announced Bill Talk and Bill Docs, two new enhancements to its accounts payable automation solution, which will “further modernize the invoice approval process.”
The innovations make it “effortless” for buyers and approvers “to collaborate, while improving audit readiness and accelerating approval cycle times.”
When approving invoices, it’s critical for buyers and approvers “to easily and quickly connect and work together.”
Currently, most of these dialogues are “held outside the context of the bill, leading to challenges when tracking Q&As, repeated back and forth interactions, and delays.”
The new Bill Talk and Bill Docs product innovations “allow buyers, AP staff and business approvers to work with each other directly on the bill by exchanging questions and comments and attaching documents within Tipalti, all without needing to log in.”
These updates will “save thousands of Tipalti users time and resources by simplifying these approval conversations and centralizing feedback directly on the bill.”
Roby Baruch, Chief Product Officer at Tipalti, said:
“The AP process has historically been the most time-consuming function in finance. One of the key pain points finance teams cite is the chaotic back and forth of invoice approvals. These features are the latest example of how Tipalti is reshaping how businesses manage their financial operations by eliminating manual, burdensome processes.”
