Testimonials: AP Automation with DataServ

“[Analytics] provides more information than I expected!”
Hormel FoodsHormel Controller - Client since 2018
Hormel Foods
“The DataServ AP automation solution has provided approximately 30% gains in efficiency in the departments where it’s been implemented.”
Joe ZulichManager of Accounting Operations at White-Rodgers, DataServ Client since 2003
Joe Zulich
“You have an account manager that stays with you, this is so important. You need to build a relationship with this person because they are your partner in crime and are here to help you. I like knowing I can go to them and know I will get the Gold Star Treatment.”
Debbie NorrisSr. Director of Accounts Payable and Payroll at American Senior Communities, DataServ Client since 2019
“The improvements our department gained with DataServ were almost instantaneous. Many of our processes improved, including our short-pay and approval processes, which before were challenging and involved many people and a lot of time. Liebert is a worldwide corporation, and there are invoices that need approval from all over the country. Consolidating all invoices to be mailed to specific P.O. boxes in St. Louis allows the Accounts Payable staff to digitally route invoices for approval. What in the past took sometimes weeks, now takes only a few days. We can already see more ways for making the process more efficient. This program is wonderful to work with. Our expectations have been exceeded.”
Wendy WhiteP2P Process Improvement Manager at Liebert Corporation, DataServ Client since 2004
Wendy White
“We recently added another 2,000 cars to the fleet and system. In the past, that required adding 2 FTE’s to handle all of the accounting/finance work. With DataServ, we do not have to add any team members to achieve this growth!”
Kristin ParshaySenior Finance Director & Corporate Controller at Merchants Fleet Management, DataServ Client since 2016
Kristin Parshay
"When we approached DataServ, our accounts payable process was disjointed, and we had a three-week document processing backlog. We would have considered it a win to reduce our backlog to just one week. Today, DataServ’s AP automation has eliminated our backlog, and we don’t consider that a win ... we consider that a slam dunk!”
Randy CummiskeyCorporate Controller at Ohio Transmission Corporation, DataServ Client since 2016
Randy Cummiskey
"DataServ worked with us to make sure our needs were met. We are still working with DataServ to tweak things here and there to improve our process. Partnership is key.”
Keri MorganAccounts Payable Manager at Rack Room Shoes, DataServ Client since 2016
Keri Morgan
“I really appreciate the DataServ and Emerson approach to an issue where the source of the problem seems to have been somewhere in between Emerson and DataServ. Such issues require a collaborative approach and I appreciate each group’s willingness to engage each other and not devolve into ‘blame ping pong.’ Thanks for all working to resolve the issue!”
Scott GilleyDirector of Shared Services Accounting at Emerson Process Management, Dataserv Client since 2006
Scott Gilley
"We have cut down on the amount of paper invoices that we must shuffle through for accounts payable. Everything is grouped together in one location with the ability to code right on the screen. With our payable system, if the invoice matches the PO, the process is automatic. I never have to approve it. It has cut payable time down to a fraction.”
Service Coordinator at Wiese USADataServ Client since 2014

“Engaging DataServ was a good decision, and we are pleased with how DataServ has supported us. Our users have found the solution to be extremely easy to learn and use. And our exception process, which before was difficult and time-consuming, has been made very manageable. Now many of our other divisions are looking at DataServ as a potential partner for their payables applications.”

Denise Dauphin

Greg Streicher
“DataServ is constantly upgrading the services they provide and keeps up with the business need. In an environment with constant change and where speed is essential, DataServ is the ideal tool for accounts payable processing. It helped us improve the efficiency and performance. The dashboard is a great tool for AP Clerks.”
Financial Shared Services Manager at VertivDataServ Client since 2006
Financial Shared Services Manager at Vertiv
“I have been very impressed by DataServ’s unique approach to working with our organization. Rather than ‘pushing’ solutions looking for a problem, they act as business analysts and consultants, asking intelligent questions that uncover opportunities for improvement to our processes. Then they propose well-conceived solutions that are based on our real business challenges. In the end, SSM’s relationship with DataServ has been a true partnership.”
Pam GreenbergDirector of Financial Shared Services at SSM Healthcare, DataServ Client since 2004
Pam Greenberg
“From the beginning, the Client Support team at DataServ was very knowledgeable about our AP process, which was really helpful. I didn’t feel the need to spend a lot of time explaining in detail what I needed. Whether I was emailing or calling the support solution desk, the response time was always impressive. I really felt comfortable knowing the team was there to assist with whatever issues I needed to get resolved. DataServ has an outstanding Client Support team.”

Valerie BurdickAccounts Payable Supervisor at ADAC Plastics, Inc., DataServ Client Since 2019
“The system is GREAT! The functionality is awesome, especially the search.”
Rob KoesterCFO at Murphy Company, DataServ Client Since 2023

Michelle FrySr. Manager, SAP Applications and Integrations, Formerra

Unlike many approaches in the market, the Invoice Processing Machine invoice capture software provides the capability to receive ALL your invoices in any form or format and digitally transform them into a normalized single stream of digital data to facilitate downstream automation. It is easy to get started without changing your vendors' process! Simply redirect your existing AP email addresses to DataServ. DataServ is more supplier-friendly with less change management. We get your team out of data entry, chasing approvals and coding altogether and deliver 99%+ accurate data, contractually guaranteed.

AutoVouch™

Our "pre-ERP," AI-powered two and three-way match capability makes our AP automation software flexible and accurate. With AutoVouch™, you can replace manual AP matching with a single digital data stream, which is standardized and validated using sophisticated rules and tolerances for invoice processing. Without human touch! Exceptions are identified and proactively pushed to workflow queues for the most appropriate person to correct those issues that will then allow those transactions to automatically flow back through AutoVouch™.

DataServ Automated Workflow with our “best of both worlds” coding will enforce and enhance financial controls. At the same time it will automate routing, coding, escalation and approval processes to save time and money. Never wonder where an invoice is again! The search capability will enhance visibility and control, and improve communications to make life easier across your AP processes.

No more spreadsheets and email folders – DataServ makes invoice approvals easy. AP automation provides visibility into every invoice in any stage of the approval and coding process. Automated workflow provides timed escalations, out of office notifications and surrogate coding. The system never takes a vacation, never has a bad day, and never retires. It never misplaces a document, or fails to remind you to resolve an exception or pay an invoice before the day it’s due. It is, by nature, dependable.

On average, our Invoice Processing Machine  capability gives you 30-45 days of additional visibility into all liabilities within 24 hours of invoice receipt. Replace mountains of emailed & paper invoices with an electronic audit trail.
