Dealing with huge volumes of invoices
Construction companies often rely on a complex network of sub-contractors and materials suppliers across multiple projects. This inevitably means dealing with high volumes of incoming invoices from companies looking for prompt payment in an industry notorious for working on slender profit margins.
Over 70% of invoices in the sector are paper-based or in non-standard formats, leading to:
- High manual processing costs.
- Increased error rates, with up to 20% of invoices requiring corrections.
- Delays in payment cycles that impact contractor cash flow and project timelines.
Immediate cost savings with automated invoice processing
The new solution will enable Access Coins customers to see a swift return on investment (ROI) as the joint solution automates invoice processing. This reduces manual effort, errors and processing time by up to 80%.
David Bullock, Senior Product Manager for Access Construction shared:

By integrating ancora Software, Inc.'s cutting-edge IDP technology into our Access Coins ERP software, we are poised to deliver unparalleled value, enabling organizations to streamline document processing and achieve greater operational agility.”
