Seamless Account Payables Digitalization App

Simplify and streamline Accounts Payable and Vendor Management processes across multiple suppliers and regions, enabling auto-matching, auto-reconciliation, and proactively detecting and resolving document discrepancies in the system of records.

Overview

Current vendor management and accounts payable processes are manual and paper-heavy, leading to challenges in payment processing. Organizations are seeking automation to capture mismatches and inconsistencies during transaction execution, enabling seamless payment processing.

Some of the key challenges in the accounts payable process that can be addressed using emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, and machine learning include:

Process tracking from PO-Invoice-GRN with real-time collaboration for changes at each stage.
Resolve and transform business processes with end-to-end transparency, allowing for real-time reconciliation.
Submit Accounts Payable (AP) in ERP using a highly secure blockchain-based network for authenticity.
Securely store documents/data as immutable records with auditability.
Multi-party consensus/agreement on finality and version controls.
Improve collaboration between internal business functions (Purchasing, Manufacturing, Finance) and suppliers.
Enhance supply chain visibility, reducing safety stock levels and inventory carrying costs.
Streamline manual reconciliation and matching for payment processing to suppliers.
Ensure third-party risk management and compliance across multi-geographic jurisdictions.

The business need is to reinvent the accounts payable process in connected supply chain procurement involving multiple suppliers using blockchain technology.
