Challenge

Manual processes are creating opportunities for fines, fraud and inefficiencies.

Onboarding suppliers through email exchanges is far from ideal. This process requires numerous manual tasks to gather the necessary information to pay suppliers and ensure compliance. Unfortunately, handling thousands of suppliers manually is prone to failure— resulting in OFAC fines, fraudulent payments and wasted hours on data entry.

Highly Configurable

Highly Configurable

Most large companies operate in complex environments, whether multiple regions, multiple ERPs, multiple business units or multiple supplier types.

Highly configurable business rules let you make sure everything you need to operate your business is captured, validated, and routed for approval. Plus, workflow and requirements can vary based on supplier type, region or other supplier characteristics.

Validate Everything

apexanalytix validates supplier data through integration with over 1,000 global government, regulatory and authoritative third-party databases.

As suppliers enter data (global Tax IDs, bank accounts, diversity status, etc.), apexanalytix validates the data in real time to ensure accuracy prior to onboarding. Some errors are automatically corrected, some prompt the suppliers to correct invalid data, and others, like OFAC exceptions, are displayed only to the buyer’s approvers.

Enforce P2P Policy

There is no better opportunity to communicate and enforce supplier-related policies and drive strategic initiatives than during supplier setup.

Leveraging apexanalytix’s configurable business rules, different programs can be targeted to segments of suppliers based on a variety of requirements such as payment terms, required insurance, diverse vendor certification, electronic payments and more.

apexanalytix makes driving your procure-to-pay strategy business as usual.
