The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Accounting
Accounting is one of the most important, yet daunting and expensive departments in almost all companies.
Accountants oversee all financial operations of a business to help it run smoothly and efficiently. These include preparing and analyzing financial statements (e.g., cash flow, income statement, balance sheet), paying taxes on time, and maintaining the companies’ general ledger (GL). All these tasks require a great deal of human interaction that takes time and money; no matter how careful an employee may be, there is always the chance for human error, which could snowball and lead to devastating financial results in the future.

Most eProcurement solutions serve as a 'launch off point' to buy goods / services. These eProcurement systems leverage Punchout technology to enable connectivity between the eProcurement system and the leading eCommerce platforms (I.e. Amazon Business, Staples.com, Dell.com, OfficeDepot.com, Grainger.com, etc). In doing so, over 95% of content enabled in typical eProcurement solutions is stored outside of the eProcurement platform. This approach of enabling 95% of contracted items via PunchOut catalogs creates a splintered and disjointed buying experience for the end user. B2C eCommerce doesn't work like this. BuyerQuest doesn't think B2B ecommerce should work like this either. That's why Buyerquest took a fundamentally different approach to architecting and building the ONLY eProcurement solution that allows for ALL goods and services to be enabled and governed within a single marketplace.
