Accounts Payable Automation for Advantage Software Users

    Maximize your Advantage Software investments

    It can be difficult managing the business side of an advertising agency or marketing company.  Far too often, back-office tasks pull staff away from the high-value activities they should be focused on.

    IPS enables agencies to automate their invoice-to-pay process end-to-end.

    Now an advertising agency or marketing company can effortlessly receive invoices from suppliers in any format, automatically extract and validate invoice data, match invoices against orders residing in the Advantage Software platform, digitally route any invoices requiring approval or exceptions handling based on preset rules, and upload approved invoices into the Advantage Software platform.

    IPS provides Advantage Software users with a digital invoice and posting process from Day 1.  Eliminating the manual tasks required to process invoices will enable advertising agencies and marketing companies to post all invoices faster and more accurately and IPS will integrate them directly into Advantage Software’s platform as EDI, without human operator intervention, and in a transparent and highly secure environment. 

    And IPS accomplishes all of this without changing the way that Advantage Software users work.
