Simplify Operations and Spend Smarter with Procure-to-Pay Automation

No matter how big or small your organization, if you’re still relying on paper-based, manual processes, you’re likely facing several challenges – high processing costs, lack of visibility, lengthy processing cycles and difficult supplier relations. We can help you drive cost savings and processing efficiencies by eliminating time-consuming and error-prone manual processes from your procure-to-pay operations. With Basware, you can fully automate your procurement and payables processes, capture 100% of your financial data, and achieve the highest levels of visibility across the supply chain. 

Not all of your suppliers are the same. And if you are a global organization with operations in different geographies, the complexities associated with supplier interaction only increase. By offering multiple methods to engage with suppliers and exchange data and documents, Basware ensures that you can connect to all of your suppliers – from the largest multi-nationals to the smallest organizations, including the long-tail. Basware offers the lowest friction option for suppliers to increase supplier adoption and drive electronic invoicing (e-invoicing). 

The way to ensure compliance with purchasing policies and negotiated contracts is to provide an electronic procurement (e-procurement) solution that enables end-users to quickly find and order exactly what they need. Basware’s supports 100% user adoption by delivering an easy-to-use interface, supported by a robust underlying data model, and guide purchasing. This allows users to stay compliant with procurement policy without having to understand the intricacies of that policy. Basware also provides procurement teams with the right digital capabilities to support strategic initiatives behind the scenes.

Cost containment and spend control are becoming strategic priorities for CFOs and CPOs, while at the same time minimizing disruptions to operations. Without complete visibility into your suppliers and spend, balancing these two objectives is almost impossible. Basware provides a holistic view into 100% of your suppliers and spend from a single, centralized location to enable better strategic decision making. Armed with data and visibility into company spending, you will be in a better position to control your spend, mitigate risk, and manage the entire supply chain.

Leverage the largest global, compliant, open commerce network to interact and collaborate with suppliers. The Basware Network is supported by easy onboarding services and there are no fees required to join. This means you can easily connect to all your suppliers – from the largest to the smallest.

Basware Accounts Payable (AP) Automation takes slow, tedious, manual, paper-based processes out of your AP cycle and delivers clear and compelling benefits. Advanced automation means less human intervention, fewer errors, and more efficient processes. Basware solutions further increase straight-through processing of invoices – by applying intelligent logic to automatically route, code, match, and approve invoices.

More touchless processing of invoices means more time available for your limited AP staff to focus on value-added activities such as resolving exceptions, analyzing spend, and managing supplier relationships.

Many global corporations may have multiple ERPs and back-end systems leading to costly integration projects and disjointed access to data. But with Basware, integration is seamless with the ecosystem of solutions you might already be using. We can easily, quickly, and simultaneously integrate with your existing systems (we've done it for over 250 ERPs), making it the true central hub for all your financial data. Our solutions are certified to operate the world’s leading ERP systems, including SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics.

Basware’s solutions were built with a strong focus on integration and an open approach to Source-to-Pay (S2P) ecosystems. The “ecosystem approach” to S2P relies on a network of applications that drive your business solutions through a centralized hub and multi-vendor, modular approach. Ecosystems are making it easier for organizations to take a connected, multiple-solution approach to their S2P processes from sourcing through payments and each step in between.

The Basware Network supports interoperability, so if your suppliers are currently using another business network to transmit financial data, they can continue using it to send invoices and information to your Basware solution. This interoperability with over 220 partner networks means you can connect electronically to more of your suppliers to increase electronic invoicing.
