Prior to Covid-19, only 3.6 million Americans worked from home on at least a half-time basis out of the approximately 75 million Americans with work-from-home-friendly jobs. But we may now be at the precipice of a seismic shift in those numbers. 

In recent weeks, Capital One informed its 40,000 workers they will work from home until after Labor Day. For Amazon workers, the report-back date is set for October.  

For your company, for your employees, for your company’s relationship with your employees...what should the future look like? Will we accept going back to commuting en masse on jam-packed highways, wasting massive amounts of time, cutting short the “quality” time in our lives, while ratcheting up the stress factor, when we know—and have experienced—a different way? 

On one hand, there is a certain element of “trading paint” that happens when a whole company comes together in one physical place every day. It creates the opportunity for spontaneous collaboration that simply can’t happen on a screen, at scheduled times.  

However, these chance encounters and spontaneous confabs represent a tiny percentage of the actual time most people spend at an office in a 40-hour work week. Most of the time—on average 5 hours and 41 minutes per day, according to an article in Science Daily—they’re doing work at their desk. 

If your accounting people, department managers, and CFO are bogged down in manual processes, it’s time to get rid your old accounts payable systems. Especially now when technology will allow such a vast improvement. Their time is valuable, and you should no longer be complacent to allow them to spend it on tasks that technology and automation can actually handle better than they can—in far less time! 

I’m sure your vendors would appreciate the upgrade, too. How often does your AP team field calls from them, wondering where their check is...or if you even received their invoice? Having to ask and wonder does not make for happy vendors, and unhappy vendors don’t always do the best possible work they could be doing for you. 

Accounts payable is one of the last remaining business processes that still relies heavily on paper...namely those still ubiquitous paper checks. The tasks of dealing with them—from printing to getting approvals to matching up with PO’s to mailing out—it’s all pretty labor intensive and time consuming.   

And when accounts payable operations have hiccups, you risk important relationships with vendors and your entire AP team is forced to transform into forensic accountants to fix the damage.  

Luckily, there's a much better way!
