AP Metrics that Matter in 2024 - New Report Deep Dive

Join us for an insightful webinar where we explore the recent research gathered by Ardent Partners looking at the transformative power of accurate and real-time metrics in the realm of accounts payable (AP).

The research finds that AP departments continue to face increasing pressure to optimize processes, manage cash flow efficiently, and mitigate risks. Ardent Partners also discovered that up to 49% of AP teams face challenges with prolonged invoice cycles and 47% of AP and finance leaders noted that the prevalence of invoice exceptions introduces complexity and inefficiency into operations.

Join this webinar with Andrew Bartolini, Chief Research Officer at Ardent Partners and Basware's Sam Mele, SVP Sales America, who together will unveil the latest survey findings, the essential AP benchmarks, what they mean for finance teams today and how to overcome these challenges and make AP a strategic hub of your organization.
