Document Capture – The crucial first step that is crippling the way you do accounting

بواسطة | يناير 13, 2021


Document capture is the first step to efficient accounting. You can consider it to be the most crucial component of good financial health.

Today, data is more valuable than oil. People recognise that the insights and knowledge extracted from data can be far more valuable than oil. When you refine raw financial data from invoices, receipts and other financial documents it can help in good decision-making, identifying revenue, cost-saving opportunities and most importantly, the efficient operations of your organisation.

We’ll take you through why you should consider moving to a cloud-based accounting system or service instead:

1. Decentralized Document Capture

It’s almost an unsaid norm for accountants to constantly follow up with vendors and employees for proper documents. There’s a never-ending set of invoices that need processing. And accountants are always running against time to keep their books updated. Going through unorganized invoices is laborious and time-consuming. Also, human error is inevitable. In most cases, the final output is error-prone and unreliable.

It’s really not possible for you to keep track of accounting processes when there are so many other  business needs to address. Decentralized document capture applications are the ideal solution to tackle this task. Such software allows anyone from anywhere to scan and upload documents using their mobile or web app. Even a non-accountant can capture invoices/bills at the point of creation.

2. Quick Data entry

We’re all familiar with dusty, heavy ledgers that used to be the norm once upon a time. These were later replaced by excel sheets and stand-alone software with much excitement. Though accounting software promised to be the cure for all accounting issues, it brought with it challenges in terms of usability, staffing, training and systematic bookkeeping. Data capture, real-time visibility and mobility of accounting information continue to be a challenge for SMEs unable to invest in expensive ERP software.

Comprehensive, cloud-based and affordable accounting services that facilitate invoice/document scanning and upload are just what an SME needs. With these systems, All you need to do is scan or upload your document using a mobile app, the accounting team updates your information and you have real-time reliable financial information at your fingertips.

3.Intelligent Data Segregation

Imagine having to prepare a financial report for your organisation using data from scattered financial records. Not only is it going to be a nightmare to go through several documents, but you’re bound to question the accuracy of such data as well.

With accounting services like MyAcsys, data is not simply digitized. The data is accurate, updated and represented in highly visual dashboards allowing business owners to evaluate and act immediately.

4. Easily accessible digital records

With features like document capture and document search, it’s easy to upload as well as access invoices online and verify against financial records.
