Inquiry
"Help yourself."
Eliminate 80% of help desk calls. Give suppliers online access to the information they need in their preferred language.
A self-service portal to answer suppliers' most important questions
The two most common questions that come to the AP help desk are “Do you have my invoice?” and “When will I get paid?”. With the apexportal Supplier Inquiry module, suppliers get the answers to these questions and more 24/7 and in their own language. Supplier self-service access to invoice and payment status provides the information they need – when they need it – without intervention by your team.
Consolidated enterprise visibility. Support all of your global enterprise AP and P2P systems with a single, consolidated supplier self-service solution for invoice status and payment tracking.
- Global online availability. Suppliers won’t be limited by your office hours or call center schedule. They get visibility to invoice and payment status 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and in their own language (20 languages supported and growing).
- Collaborate on exceptions. Suppliers tracking payments can see when errors or discrepancies are preventing their invoices from being approved and why. They can raise questions online and easily provide additional details to help resolve discrepancies.
- Keep internal teams informed. The usefulness of the inquiry module isn't limited to supplier self-service. It can also become an important information and reporting resource for your extended internal users as well. Single sign-on from your network provides easy access to information, eliminating internal calls to AP.
- Prebuilt integration. The Secure Open Adapter built into the apexportal makes connecting your accounting systems a breeze. We keep supplier information up to date in real time with pre-built integration for major ERP platforms and with standard APIs for other systems.
- Experience a rapid ROI. Firms adopting our supplier self-service capabilities typically experience a total return on their apexportal investment within the first six months.
