The financial landscape is evolving everyday, with technology playing a key role in shaping its future. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how businesses manage their finances, enhancing decision-making and streamlining operations. Leading this transformation is Microsoft Copilot, a powerful tool integrated into Microsoft’s enterprise technology suite, designed for business efficiency.
Revolutionising Financial Operations with Copilot
Smarter Bank Reconciliation
Bank reconciliation traditionally involved manual effort or limited automation within Dynamics 365 Business Central, especially when managing fragmented transactions. For example, reconciling a single bank entry split across multiple payments was complex and time-consuming.
Copilot simplifies this process by recognising patterns and suggesting matches for related transactions, reducing manual errors and saving significant time for finance teams managing complex reconciliations.
Advanced Chat Capabilities
Imagine Julie from the accounts department needing to find an invoice sent to Robert at Alpine three weeks ago. Instead of navigating multiple systems, she simply types her query into the chat. Copilot instantly retrieves the relevant invoice, eliminating tedious searches and boosting productivity.
Copilot’s chat feature directly integrates with Business Central, allowing users to access critical information from the chat window, improving communication efficiency and decision-making speed.
E-Document Mapping and Late Payment Prediction
Copilot extends its capabilities beyond reconciliation and chat. It simplifies e-document mapping by automatically linking invoices, purchase orders, and receipts to relevant data entries, reducing manual work and enhancing accuracy.
Additionally, Copilot predicts late payments by analysing historical data, alerting finance teams to potential cash flow disruptions and enabling proactive financial management.
Automated Item Descriptions
To save finance teams time, Copilot automates item description generation for products, services, and inventory. This feature not only reduces manual input but also helps optimise search keywords, craft engaging product descriptions, and improve the overall customer experience.
