Environmental and Cost Savings

A PaperLess system is a green initiative that significantly reduces paper usage, contributing to sustainability efforts. Moreover, it cuts down on costs associated with paper, ink, and storage space. For CFOs using Sage, PaperLess software integrates seamlessly, offering functionalities like automatic data capture, online invoice approval, purchase order matching, purchase order requisitions, among others, which translate to up to 30% annual savings.

Enhanced Security and Compliance

Physical documents are susceptible to loss, theft, and damage. A digital system ensures that sensitive financial data is securely stored and backed up, with access restricted to authorized personnel only. This not only protects the company’s financial integrity but also ensures compliance with increasingly stringent data protection regulations.

It’s fully compatible with various Sage products such as Sage 50cloud, Sage 50 Accounts, Sage 200 Professional, Sage 200 Standard and Sage Intacct, ensuring a smooth transition to a paperless accounts payable process. The integration allows for automatic data capture, efficient invoice approval, and quick document lookup directly within Sage, boosting productivity and facilitating better financial management.
