Medius and ACOM Announce Partnership Supporting End-to-End “Invoice-to-Pay” Automation
14 February 2019
Medius, the leader in cloud-based accounts payable automation, and ACOM announce a new strategic partnership with the launch of a streamlined “Invoice-to-Pay” process for mid market businesses.
The collaboration delivers unprecedented levels of automated and completely touchless invoice and payment processing for accounts payable, eliminating manual and paper-intensive processes and increased efficiency beginning at invoice capture and approval, through direct cash settlement. Expanding on the benefits from a touchless invoice process, Medius users in the United States are now able to easily pay 100% of their supplier invoices electronically, creating end-to-end automation of the procure-to-pay process to decrease AP costs and further extend their visibility and control over cash management.
The new “invoice-through-pay” process combines Medius’s best-in-class AP automation solution and e-Procurement offering with ACOM’s Intelligent payment automation platform.
A global leader & AP Automation innovator, Medius captures invoice data in real-time upon enterprise receipt, verifies, matches and then processes the information into a fully digital workflow for approval routing, distribution and ERP coding and posting for payment. ACOM’s intelligent payment automation extends the paperless experience, processing the payments though one seamless and centralized platform using a single payment file across all supplier disbursements; ACH, card, EFT, global payments, checks - virtually any way suppliers prefer to be paid.
“Eliminating the complexity of paper-based, manual processing creates a dramatic increase in efficiency, speed and accuracy for accounts payable and increased overall control. This powerful pre-connected process combining two best-of-breed solutions solves two of the major issues for AP and financial operations – manual, paper-based invoice and check processing. “Invoice-to-Pay” enables finance departments to streamline invoice processing and save significant time and cost while maintaining visibility right through to payment settlement,” said Marc Bandini, President Americas of Medius.
“ACOM’s payment and supplier management experience enables Medius users to pay all of their invoices electronically, creating a truly end-to-end process for AP, automated directly through the payment transaction clearance and reporting. Combining our intelligent payment platform with Medius provides organizations with unparalleled visibility, expanded cash management capabilities and the opportunity to generate revenue directly from their supplier payments,” says Jim Scott, ACOM Senior Vice President.
