When it comes to managing your company’s payments, your accounts payable (AP) team is like the kitchen crew behind a Thanksgiving feast. Every detail — from prep to presentation — must come together perfectly. But without the right tools, it can feel like trying to cook a five-course meal with a dull knife.
That’s where automated check printing comes in — the secret ingredient that transforms hectic, manual AP tasks into a smooth, efficient process. With Checkrun, your team can simplify check payments, reduce manual effort, and serve up efficiency in every transaction.
1. Prep the Ingredients: Streamline the Payment Process
As with any great meal, the magic begins with preparation. The same goes for your AP workflow. Manually printing, signing, and mailing checks is like chopping vegetables one by one — time-consuming and prone to mistakes.
With Checkrun’s automated check printing solutions, everything is prepped and ready: approvals, signatures, and payments can be completed remotely and securely from the cloud. This automation saves time, reduces human error, and ensures every payment is ready to go — no paper clutter or manual steps slowing you down.
2. Keep It Fresh: Maintain Security and Compliance
No one wants spoiled ingredients — or compromised data and fraud in their payment processes. Payment security is critical, especially when printing and distributing checks.
Checkrun offers built-in security features such as role-based user permissions, customizable approval workflows, and digital signatures to help keep your payments secure and compliant. Think of it as food safety for your financial operations — ensuring every check is handled with care and integrity.
3. The Perfect Recipe: Blend Automation with Human Oversight
Even the best recipes need a chef’s touch. Automated check printing isn’t about replacing people — it’s about empowering them.
With Checkrun, your AP team can set customized approval workflows that make collaboration seamless. Authorized users can review, approve, and release checks from anywhere — ensuring oversight without the bottlenecks. It’s like having a well-organized kitchen where everyone knows their role and the meal comes out perfectly every time.
4. Enjoy the Feast: Reap the Rewards of AP Automation
Once the planning, prep, and cooking are done — it’s time to enjoy the results. Automating your check printing process delivers measurable benefits your team can enjoy:
- Time savings: Eliminate manual printing, signing, and mailing.
- Cost reduction: Cut down on paper, ink, and postage expenses.
- Improved accuracy: Reduce errors and duplicate payments.
- Better visibility: Gain real-time insight into payment status and approvals.
With Checkrun, your team can finally focus on growth instead of tedious administrative tasks. It’s the kind of feast for which every finance team can be thankful.
5. Add a Dash of Integration
Every great dish needs the right pairing. Checkrun seamlessly integrates with QuickBooks Online to sync all vendor and payment data, check details, and remittance advice automatically. That means no double entry, no manual uploads — just effortless flow between your accounting and payment systems.
It’s the perfect blend of convenience and control — helping AP teams work smarter, not harder.
