Food and beverage companies may face several challenges
in their accounts payable (AP) process, including:

High volume of invoices

With a large number of suppliers, food and beverage companies may receive a high volume of invoices, leading to increased manual workload.

Complex pricing structures

Food and beverage companies often deal with complex pricing structures, such as volume discounts and promotional pricing, making it challenging to accurately process invoices.

Short payment terms

Many food and beverage suppliers have short payment terms, leading to a high volume of payments to be processed in a short period of time.

Perishable goods

The nature of food and beverage products means that they have a limited shelf life, making it important to process invoices and payments quickly to avoid wastage.

Integration with supply chain systems

Food and beverage companies often have complex supply chains, requiring integration between invoicing systems and other systems such as procurement and inventory management.

Food safety regulations

The food and beverage industry is heavily regulated, with strict requirements around traceability and labeling, making it important to have accurate information on invoices and in the AP system.
