Construction companies receive high volumes of supplier invoices compared to businesses in other industries. Many of these invoices require the control and approval of several people before they can be paid.
Using an automated workflow and a central dashboard, Palette automates the processing of PO and non-PO invoices. It keeps finance people happy because invoices can be booked to individual projects and saves them time chasing project managers for approvals.
Project managers appreciate being able to approve an invoice with one click on a laptop or mobile device.
With Palette you get a user-friendly system that is accessible from anywhere at any time, allowing staff who spend their working day out of the office to approve invoices on the go. This way, you can accelerate the AP process and avoid delayed payments.
