Some things should stay dead and buried. Manual AP is one of them.

This October, it’s time to ghost:
👻 Manual data entry
👻 Chasing approvals
👻 Hunting for lost invoices
👻 Reconciling statements by hand
👻 Duplicate payments

Because your AP team has higher-value tasks to do than spend their time chasing paperwork.

What would you ghost first? 👇

We have partnered with Besyncly to automate invoice exports from Lightyear to Sage 200!

Previously, our Sage 200 customers had to manually download the CSV file from Lightyear and then upload it to Sage 200, but with Besyncly, that manual handoff is completely removed.

Built by our VAR partner, Eureka, Besyncly connects to Lightyear via an API, eliminating manual file handling.

🎉 Big news: Lightyear has partnered with hospitality management software, HOPS!

Together, we're helping hospitality businesses save more than £25k a year by connecting operations and finance in one seamless workflow.

No more manual admin. No more chasing invoices. Just less paperwork, so you can focus on what matters: guest experiences!

Speaking about the partnership, Callum Smallwood, Director of Lightyear, said, “Hospitality is in Lightyear's DNA. It's what we were built on, and it’s still where we have a strong presence today. This partnership with HOPS lets us take that further, bringing together a platform that understands hospitality operations just as well as we understand hospitality finance."

You know your payroll cost to the penny. Could you do the same for invoice processing?

Most teams have a number in mind. It's usually too low, because the cost isn't sitting in one place 👇

💸 Your team's time on data entry, matching and chasing
🧾 The late fee from an approval that stalled
📉 The early payment discount nobody claimed
🔁 The duplicate invoice that took a week to trace back

Our new blog has the UK and AU benchmarks, the formula for your own cost per invoice, and the manual vs automated gap at 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 invoices a month 📊

Every finance team has a breaking point. Fixing it costs less than living with it. You just need your own number first.
