The workforce isn’t the only aspect of life being transformed by COVID-19 – the environment is changing too. Sciencenews.org reported that carbon dioxide emissions decreased by 17 percent by early April. The sudden influx of employees working remotely is not only emphasizing the need for automation; it’s emphasizing the need for greener practices in all areas of life. Fortunately, automation is the perfect way to meet that need.
Automated accounts payable solutions take financial management off of paper and into the cloud. Instead of filling out paperwork and manually keying in data, users can upload a receipt or invoice via scan / fax / email to the app, where a combination of artificial intelligence, machine learning and optical character recognition technology will automatically generate a digital report that can be submitted with just one click. No paper, ink or printing necessary. By moving the accounts payable processes online, the demand for paper products is reduced, and less damage is done to the environment. In fact, automation has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by half.
