AP automation ROI: the clearest case to start with.

Accounts payable is where automation ROI is easiest to measure, because every invoice has a processing cost you can count before and after.

cost per invoiceThe benchmark gap AP automation closes
$0.00cross-industry average cost to process one invoice
$0.00best-in-class cost per invoice
$0saved a month at 2,000 invoices, going from $10 to $5 each
Ardent Partners, Accounts Payable Metrics That Matter. Worked example: 2,000 invoices a month moving from $10 to $5 per invoice.

Take your current cost per invoice and your monthly volume, then model a move toward the benchmark rather than all the way to it. A business processing 2,000 invoices a month at $10 each that gets to $5 recovers $10,000 a month, against a build in the low five figures. Do not model to $2.81: the best-in-class firms got there with years of clean supplier data and purchase-order discipline. Model the first step.
