Document process automation solution provider Esker announced today it is launching a mobile accounts payable (AP) automation application for Apple iPads and iPhones.
The free application is designed for employees responsible for approving vendor invoices prior to payment, allowing them to access invoices in real-time anywhere, anytime.
Eric Bussy, worldwide director of marketing and product management at Esker, said the development of applications on mobile devices is a big part of Esker’s strategy.
“Our customers are always looking for faster and more accessible ways to do their daily business activities, and processing vendor invoices is part of this trend,” he said.
“The vendor invoice approval application is the first stage in our mobile offering, which will soon include new business processes (sales orders and customer invoices), and expand to Android and Windows operating systems.”
According to Esker, the mobile solution enables customers to view the list of vendor invoices awaiting approval, or those in litigation; view invoice images as they were received by the accounting department; instantly access key invoice data (e.g. supplier name and total amount), as well as any comments from previous approvers; and approve, put on hold or return an invoice to the previous approver with the option of adding a comment at each step.
The application will soon be available in the Apple App Store for all Esker AP on-demand customers.
