Miria’s Accounts Payable
application is built on top of
IBM’s Enterprise Content
Management (ECM) suite of
products: Datacap & FileNet.
It is comprised of two
components: Active Pay &
Active Mailroom
Active Mailroom employs
IBM’s Datacap and it serves
as an automated mail room.
It essentially reads each
document (via scan, fax or
email) and intelligently
decides where it should be
routed and who will see it.
Active Pay leverages IBM’s
FileNet, and it automates the
entire AP Process including
identifying vendors, locating
data in various formats, and
line item capture with no
programming required.
CFO’s, Controllers and
Accounts Payable Managers
are seeking ways to reduce
the cost and time associated
with processing paper
invoices. In addition, the
manual data entry of
invoices is time-consuming
and prone to errors. Active
Pay is housed within a
central web portal and is the
perfect solution for multi-
location retailers who are
centrally managed.
This allows for streamlined
collaboration between the
various locations and its
headquarters.
Through our highly
configurable Cloud-based or
On-premise platform,
retailers are able to
automate any number of
invoices faster, and at an
affordable cost.
Faster Throughput - There
are many independent
studies that measures the
average number of invoices
that can be processed
manually by an AP operator.
A manual process delivers
only 20 invoices per hour.
However, benchmarking
against Miria’s Active Pay,
we see a 244% improvement
– up to 100 invoices per
hour.
Reduced Costs - By
automating the data entry
process, AP staff are able to
focus on high value tasks.
Reduced Errors - Clients
using Active Pay report the
elimination of data entry
errors (plus corresponding
reconciliation).
Flexible - Ability to input
data and invoices from
multiple sources including:
scanner, fax, email, e-Invoice
and mobile.
Dynamic Discounts - AP staff
can process invoices quickly
and accurately and therefore
negotiate early payment
discounts outside of
established payment terms.
Manual data entry slows
processing & turnaround
time and contributes to input
errors. This in turn causes
lost invoices or incorrect
payments. Most importantly
the manual process adds
significant cost to Accounts
Payable.
Active Pay, automates data
entry of key fields (and line
items), from invoices for
integration to ERP and
accounting systems. This
speeds data entry, raises
accuracy and enables the AP
staff to focus on high value
tasks. A typical 100% ROI
can be seen in 9 to 12
months. In addition, the
Accounts Payable team can
shift their focus to high value
tasks.
