Furthermore, it will enable them to re- engineer the accounts payable department in order to facilitate information access, shorten exception handling, and make better use of accounting personnel. "ReadSoft's INVOICES technology, which has been successfully introduced in several markets around the world, now proves its strength" comments Jan Andersson, MD at ReadSoft. INVOICES' capacity to process both electronic and paper invoices combined with contracts like Monoprix, strengthens our position as the leading provider of this technology. This contract can be seen as backing of ReadSoft's strategy to provide organizations with means to automate business processes through automatic document exchange and data capture. Moreover, this break- through in the French retail market place is key. Monoprix is an important actor on this market and a great reference when further penetrating this segment, both in France and internationally," finishes Jan Andersson, MD at ReadSoft.
