"High paper invoice volumes and receiving invoices from multiple channels are the biggest contributors to AP processing complexity. Further, AP processing will become more complex over the next two years for most."
Reynolds Accounts Payable Services eliminate these two hassles along with many others, enabling your Payables staff to focus on high-value tasks.
You can pick and choose from our menu of services, enabling you to start small and add services as you see fit - We can receive your invoices (mail, e-mail, partner portals, etc.); convert them to a consistent format that will enable easy retrieval; extract the data you need; return them to you in the timeframe you require, formatted for import into your ERP or other systems; and much more.
Your EPR systems are fed the data they need so that most invoices are matched and payed automatically with no intervention. Your employees can retrieve any invoice with just a few clicks, and automated workflows route approvals and exceptions around quickly.
We provide similar services for T&E's including easy to use Employee portals that enable employees to take receipt pics fro their phones.
These are typical steps:
Invoice Receipt
If you're like most payables departments these days you have invoices coming at you from a million different directions - mail, e-mail, fax, maybe a supplier portal, and numerous other ways. Not only are they coming in in different ways but they're also in different formats - paper, PDF, the occasional stray .jpeg or .tif, comma delimited files and more. Reynolds can take the headache of receiving all of this away:
We provide either pickup at your facility on whatever schedule you require or we receive your mail via a local PO box.
Supplier portal
We can use your existing supplier portal or if you don't have one, we can set up an easy to use portal that gathers all the information you need.
We can receive your e-mail for you via your existing e-mail address(es) or we can set up new ones for you.
Fax
We can receive your faxes electronically to save having to scan them later.
Conversion to a Consistent File Format
Whatever we receive we'll convert to a consistent format (typically tiffs) that can be imported into your ERP or other systems giving your employees instant access and greatly increasing visibility into your payables.

Data Extraction and Validation
Once your invoices are received and converted, the information you need from them - invoice number, invoice date, dollar amount, even line items, etc. - is extracted in the most automated way possible.
