No More Chasing Signatures: Improve Traditional Check Approvals with Mobile Technology
In the world of accounts payable, time is money—and chasing down physical signatures for check approvals is costing your business both. Traditional check approval processes often involve paper trails, physical handoffs, and back-and-forth follow-ups that create bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
If your team is still printing out checks, walking them around the office for signatures, and mailing them out, there’s a better way. It’s time to modernize with mobile check approval workflows.
The Hidden Costs of Traditional Check Approvals
Manual check approval methods may seem simple, but they introduce unnecessary delays and risks:
- Wasted Time: Routing paper checks for signatures slows down payment cycles and strains AP teams.
- Lack of Visibility: It’s hard to track where a check is in the approval process.
- Increased Errors: Manual processes are more prone to signature mismatches, lost documents, or duplicate payments.
- Limited Flexibility: Approvals can only happen in-office, delaying payments when decision-makers are traveling or remote.
- Security Risks: Paper-based approvals leave sensitive financial data vulnerable to misuse or fraud.
