As many suppliers are aware, the proliferation of online customer portals over the past several years has created additional manual work for invoicing teams. In many cases, buyers insist that their suppliers invoice them through these portals, creating additional work for already over-extended teams. According to recent Billtrust research, AR teams interact with an average of 11-20 customer portals and must be proficient with 11-15 AP automation platform brands. Challenges with portals include taking away time from employees’ other tasks, dealing with multiple portals, and slowing down the AR process.
