Business Case for AP Automation

When an organization makes the transition to NetSuite, a detailed business case
outlining the benefits is standard for such a large investment. But it can be hard
to make the case for further investment, in addition to the cost of NetSuite.

While NetSuite lays the foundation, many finance teams still struggle with slow, manual accounts payable (AP) processes. From chasing approvals to fixing invoice errors, it can feel like there’s never enough bandwidth to focus on what really matters.

That’s where AP automation comes in—not as a replacement for your team, but as a strategic enhancement that delivers better control, visibility, and efficiency.

This guide explores how AP automation can help you get the most out of your NetSuite investment, empowering finance teams at every level from AP professionals to Controllers and CFOs.

In this eBook, you’ll learn:

How to identify AP inefficiencies in your current NetSuite setup and where automation delivers the biggest impact.
What KPIs and benchmarks to track for calculating ROI on AP automation.
Why AP teams are top targets for fraud and how automation can act as a first line of defense.
What scaling companies need to know to future-proof finance operations in an unstable economy.

Discover how to scale smarter, make confident investment decisions, and gain complete visibility into your AP operations with automation built for NetSuite.
