Constant trouble shooting, decision making, clarifying plans, meetings, and directing activities fill every minute you\u2019re on the job. The last thing you need is a call from accounting asking if you approved an invoice that is coming due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Staying on top of all the documents that cross your physical and virtual desk is more than challenging. And it\u2019s not uncommon for an invoice to get buried in the whirlwind. Many contractors are streamlining invoice approval by automating the document management process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With document management software, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>See all invoices assigned to you for approval right from your project management software.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approve, reject, and add notes and related documents to invoices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Route invoices to another person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review and compare invoices to budgeted amounts, change orders and commitments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Review the status of an invoice with a sub or supplier quickly while on the phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Invoices are not the only paperwork that needs to be tamed. Document management software will centralize all your documents in one place\u2014allowing you to more efficiently store, route, and retrieve your company\u2019s paperwork. You can even easily deploy electronic forms such as daily reports and punch lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the new Sage Paperless test drive to learn more about how document management software can simplify the invoice approval and documents in your office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/products\/sage-paperless-construction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Get the test drive.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"single-cta\">\n\t<div class=\"single-cta__positioner on-scroll-highlight__target\">\n\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__wrapper has-dark-background-color\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"single-cta__title h3\">Subscribe to our Sage Advice Newsletter<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"single-cta__description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Get our latest business advice delivered directly to your inbox.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"#gate-ab515c6e-7e90-4c2f-a67e-113872516e8b\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"single-cta__button button button--primary\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>Subscribe<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1440x810.jpg\" class=\"single-cta__image\" alt=\"Working from home with tea in hand\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/GettyImages-1073797282-1440x810.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 48em) 33vw, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<section class=\"more-topics alignfull has-grey-light-background-color wp-block-sage-post-topics\">\n\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 col-lg-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"more-topics__title h2\">Browse more topics from this article<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col col-12 col-lg-8\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"post-tags__list\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-tags__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/blog\/hub\/construction\/\" class=\"post-tags__link button button--secondary\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConstruction\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-tags__item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sage.com\/en-us\/blog\/hub\/construction-collaboration\/\" class=\"post-tags__link button button--secondary\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tConstruction &#8211;
