Esker has announced a free mobile accounts payable (AP) automation application for iPads and iPhones,  allowing easy access to invoice management and approval on the go.

“The development of applications on mobile devices is a big part of Esker’s strategy. Our customers are always looking for faster and more accessible ways to do their daily business activities, and processing vendor invoices is part of this trend,” said Eric Bussy, Worldwide Director of Marketing and Product Management at Esker. 

“The vendor invoice approval application is the first stage in our mobile offering, which will soon include new business processes (sales orders and customer invoices), and expand to Android and Windows operating systems.”

Designed for employees responsible for approving vendor invoices prior to payment, the interface enables Esker customers to:

• View the list of vendor invoices awaiting approval, or those in litigation;

• View invoice images as they were received by the accounting department;

• Instantly access key invoice data (e.g., supplier name and total amount), as well as any comments from previous approvers; and

• Approve, put on hold or return an invoice to the previous approver with the option of adding a comment at each step.
