As finance departments face pressure to streamline processes, cut costs, and boost productivity, many leaders are prioritizing digital transformation. According to AvidXchange’s 2025 Trends survey, 61% of finance leaders cite operational efficiencies as their top priority for 2025, with 57% focused on advancing digital transformation. Despite this, more than a third remain hesitant to automate, often due to limited understanding or expertise.
Accounts payable (AP) automation offers a powerful solution, yet many organizations are reluctant to adopt it without a clear understanding of its benefits.
