Why Document Management Demands Automation Now

Current Challenges in Document Processing

  • Manual data entry consumes 15-20 hours weekly per finance team member
  • Error rates of 4-8% create costly reconciliation issues
  • Invoice processing delays average 9.7 days, affecting cash flow
  • Inconsistent document formats require specialized handling
  • Physical/digital document management creates organizational chaos
  • Audit compliance requires extensive manual documentation
