Retail giant Argos and department store group John Lewis have chosen Irish-based SoftCo’s Accounts Payable (AP) management system for use in their stores, SoftCo announced.
SoftCo AP is a customisable accounts payable business process management system, which promises to reduce delays in the approval of non-merchandise invoices. It also allows companies to scan all incoming invoices at the point of entry and then route them electronically for query or approval to budget holders.
SoftCo AP replaces previous paper processes which involved sending hard copies around the organisation, a system which typically caused delays in payment and left AP staff unable to answer supplier queries when paperwork is “out” for approval, the company said.
Christine Allan, senior analyst at corporate financial systems, John Lewis, said SoftCo has been extremely attentive and has always worked with John Lewis to come up with the best solution for what the company is trying to achieve.
Allan will be the guest speaker at a focused breakfast briefing organised by SoftCo in Dublin in April, entitled ‘Invoice Automation’.
