Frequently Asked Questions
We offer user-based pricing, so your solution price depends on the modules that you need and how many users will access the system (as you grow, you can add users and additional modules).
Contact us to discuss your PakEnergy solution and pricing.
We’ve developed our own Integrated Document Imaging Solution, which lets you add and view documents, and link them with specific transactions, vendors, employees or owners with one click. This optional module also includes electronic routing and approval of A/P invoices, allowing an invoice to be entered when received and electronically routed to the appropriate user(s) for coding and approval.
The approver has access to a copy of the scanned invoice along with the invoice coding. The system tracks the invoice all along its route and gives users visibility of the pending invoice at all times.
