Hotel chain uses automation technology to significantly improves account payable processing efficiency
Challenge
The onsite accounts payable (AP) systems used at a chain of hotels was not uniform across numerous individual properties. Invoice processing workflows were completed manually by clerks at each hotel location, which resulted in a costly, inefficient, and error-prone AP system that lacked invoice tracking and process transparency.
Solution
Exela transitioned hotel locations onto our automated AP processing system to create a single, centralized AP hub. Information previously entered by clerks was then captured by and processed by Exela’s web-based platform and AP data was made easily available through a unified portal that enabled end-to-end reporting and exception handling capabilities.
