Access Construction Partners with ancora Software, Inc to automate Accounts Payable information

ancora Software, Inc. is a leading provider of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) solutions, and the collaboration will bring advanced document processing capabilities to Access Coins customers. This joint innovative solution helps construction organisations reduce manual data entry, enhance productivity, and drive profitability by automating accounts payable (AP) invoice management.

Serving over 1,500 global customers, ancora Software, Inc. specialises in the development of patented unassisted and assisted machine learning algorithms to streamline document processing workflows, particularly in accounts payable invoice management. 

Noel Flynn, CEO at Ancora said:

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with The Access Group. By joining forces, we aim to redefine the document processing landscape, empowering organizations to automate tedious manual tasks and unlock valuable insights hidden within their data. Together, we will drive unprecedented efficiency and productivity for our customers."

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. 

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:

“Our partnership with ancora Software, Inc. represents a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of our customers. 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.” 

The integration extracts, validates and synchronises unstructured invoice data directly into Access Coins ERP, giving a host of benefits for Access Coins customers, including: 

• Cutting-edge AP automation that integrates seamlessly to their Access Coins ERP system 
• Reduced manual invoice processing costs 
• Increased accuracy and efficiency
