Businesses can also help improve consistency by distributing messages to multiple vendors simultaneously.
Improved visibility into accounts payable data. Businesses now have more comprehensive access to their accounts payable data and transaction-level information, and can access it quickly and easily through ADP's system.
Custom queries and filters, scheduled reports and flexible options to share data via email, system alerts or the P2P dashboard improve visibility and help allow for more strategic decision-making around processes and supplier relationships.
