Global Process Owners and GBS leaders are under pressure to deliver on critical KPIs at a time when compliance demands are increasing and e-invoicing mandates are reshaping the AP landscape. Meeting performance targets while staying fully compliant is now a dual challenge.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how AI-powered automation and real-time analytics are enabling AP leaders to achieve measurable improvements in speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency. From touchless processing to proactive compliance, you’ll discover how intelligent tools such as Invoicetrack are helping organizations optimize processes, strengthen governance, and hit their performance goals even in a complex regulatory environment.
What you’ll learn:
- Which KPIs matter most to AP and GBS leaders today—and how to overcome the barriers that hold them back
- How AI-driven automation can lift straight-through processing rates and reduce exceptions
- The role of analytics, dashboards, and process mining in driving cost control, compliance, and continuous improvement
- Practical steps to advance toward near-100% digital, touchless AP processing
This session is designed for finance transformation leaders who want to turn compliance requirements into opportunities for efficiency and strategic advantage.

December 10th, 2PM GMT
When: December 10th, 2pm GMT | In partnership with Shared Services Link (SSL)
Governments worldwide are mandating e-invoicing and real-time reporting to boost tax revenues. While these initiatives bring long-term benefits, they are creating short-term headaches for AP leaders. Electronic invoices arriving through government gateways often lack the business-critical data AP needs—causing straight-through processing rates to plummet and exception handling to rise.
In this session, Susie West (SSL) and Springtime Technologies will outline 7 practical steps you can take to not only protect but actually improve your straight-through processing rates in this new regulatory landscape.
What you’ll learn:
- How compliance requirements can unintentionally erode efficiency in AP
- Why government portals were never designed with STP in mind—and what this means for your KPIs
- Global lessons from countries like Brazil, where mandate-driven disruption hit invoice processing
- The role of Agentic AI in enriching invoice data at the point of receipt
- Seven practical actions AP leaders can implement to reduce exceptions and stay ahead
This is an essential session for GPOs, GBS leaders, and Finance Transformation executives navigating the realities of mandated e-invoicing.
