Basware was named a Leader in the 2019 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Procure-to-Pay Suites. Read more to learn why our ease of integration played a big role in securing the Leader position and how Heineken Nederland consolidated multiple ERPs using Basware.

Basware Acknowledged for Ease of Integration

In the 2019 Garter Magic Quadrant for Procure-to-Pay Suites report, Gartner stated that “Basware has strong integration capabilities, backed by strong feedback from reference customers for integrations with back-end ERP/financial systems especially.”

We bring over 30 years of integration experience to the table, so we have the skillset and knowledge required to integrate seamlessly with your other business applications. Basware Procure-to-Pay integration simplifies the complex nature of IT infrastructure, freeing up time and resources to focus on other business objectives and opportunities.

Because of built-in certified configurations, Basware bridges all the gaps between our solutions and your multiple ERP systems and applications, assuring there will never be a bottleneck in your process and creating a consolidated view of your spend data in one location.

Seeing the Full Picture

Many P2P vendors only satisfy the need to match their purchase invoices with purchase orders (PO) created in the system itself. But what about external purchase orders created in ERPs and other purchasing solutions?

If you’re not importing and matching against those external POs, you’re not seeing the full picture. With Basware’s integration and unique matching capabilities, you can match to all kinds of external POs and truly automate your accounts payable process and understand how your organisation is spending money.

Why You Need Simple and Seamless Integration

Today’s global corporations often end up having multiple ERP systems as a result of various mergers and acquisitions, or simply having a diverse business and production lineup. However, that shouldn’t result in unnecessary complexity and expensive IT projects. Your procure-to-pay solutions should be able to easily integrate with all your ERPs and become the central hub of financial data between the systems. At Basware, our propriety solution makes that happen easily and can seamlessly integrate with all your ERP systems. In fact, we have experience with over 250 different ERPs.

Heineken Nederland consolidates multiple ERPs

Heineken Nederland was running 5 different ERPs and processing over 430,000 purchase order invoices a year. Since they were operating in a fairly complex and intricate environment, they were looking for a way to:

• Quickly and seamlessly integrate their several ERPs into one location,

• Integrate invoice processing solutions with their complex IT environment,

• Automate their electronic and paper invoice matching, and

• Simplify their processes and save time.

To achieve all their goals, they adopted Basware Procure to Pay.

After just 9 months, Heineken Nederland automated their invoice process and united their five ERP systems. They saw a 95% decrease in approval time for electronic invoices, which they owe to implementing invoice automation.
