Matt: Speaks to data. Ray says: Wow…. How prevalent is paper in this process? 13.1%

The Best-in-Class Advantage: An AP Example Per 1,000 Invoices Best-in-Class Monthly Cost $2,420 Best-in-Class $2.42 per invoice All Others Monthly Cost: $17,610 All Others $17.61 per Invoice Matt Speaks to this slide as to how the best in class differs from all others. Ray says: Those are some really eye opening numbers but now for the real question, how these organizations actually achieve these stellar results? Best-in-Class AP groups have invoice processing costs that are 86% less than their competitors
