Invoice automation supported in two ways
E-invoicing can be a great way to reduce costs. But most companies struggle to find a solution that works across their entire supplier base. Their providers tend to focus on their highest-volume suppliers only, while the vast majority continue to submit invoices as paper or emailed files.
apexportal E-invoicing is an electronic invoicing module that solves the dilemma once and for all. We’ve incorporated multiple automation paths so you can capture invoices from all your suppliers, regardless of size – eliminating the need for paper invoices.
For low-volume suppliers: Capture and process every invoice
Use our Simple E-invoicing Solution to eliminate paper and PDF invoices. Invoice images and header details flow from the portal into your normal accounts payable processes. It’s a great way to target the long tail of low-volume suppliers who don’t participate in any invoice automation solutions you’ve already adopted. One bonus: There are no costs to your suppliers for participating in this electronic invoicing program. Suppliers simply log in, provide invoice header details and upload an invoice image along with any applicable attachments, which are fed into your normal invoice line item capture and approval work flow or OCR engine. The result is the most cost effective, most secure and easiest to implement invoice-handling solution for the long tail.
For high-volume suppliers: Keep your preferred partner or let us introduce you to ours
Use our Secure Open Adapter to integrate any of your existing e-invoicing solutions directly into the apexportal. You’ll have a single interface and a single sign-on for supplier onboarding, invoicing and other portal-based supplier functions – creating a seamless user experience.
Use our pre-integrated solution if you don’t have one of your own. Through our partnership with AP automation industry leader Basware, we deliver a rapidly implemented solution that positions you for success. You and your suppliers benefit from integrated on-boarding and navigation and from single sign-on between your apexportal and the global Basware Commerce Network.
