Sage expands partnership with Corporate Spending Innovations, an Edenred company, to deliver new Vendor Payments offering

Sage expands partnership with Corporate Spending Innovations, an Edenred company, to deliver new Vendor Payments offering

Embedded solution enables customers to pay vendors quickly, save hours on reconciliations, and reduce payment transaction costs

Sage (FTSE: SGE), the market leader in cloud business management solutions, and Edenred’s subsidiary Corporate Spending Innovations (CSI), a leader in electronic B2B payment solutions, today announced an expanded relationship. The companies are working together to deliver new vendor payments capabilities natively within the Sage Intacct cloud financial management system – providing a seamless experience from bill to reconciliation for joint customers.

PUBLICITÉ

From processing automated clearing house (ACH) batches to printing and mailing checks, the accounts payable (AP) process is often time-consuming and costly. Finance teams end up jumping between multiple systems or getting bogged down in manual processes to deliver and reconcile vendor payments. With the new Sage Intacct Vendor Payments powered by CSI, businesses can streamline and automate their payments process. This solution brings together Sage Intacct’s best-in-class cloud financials and CSI’s trusted payments platform to deliver a seamless payments experience. The new offering enables customers to pay vendors quickly, speed up reconciliations, and offer more ways to pay – all while reducing payment transaction costs.

With the sudden move to fully remote workforces for many businesses in 2020, CFOs became painfully aware that digitizing Accounts Payable, especially payments, was an initiative that should have been implemented years ago,” said David Disque, President from CSI.

“We believe that more and more businesses will discover that payments automation is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have. The integration of our B2B payments platform now fully embedded into Sage Intacct enables companies to embrace technology and innovation through a single user experience as the payments ecosystem evolves to meet the changing landscape of digital business,” according to Jason Kolbenheyer, Chief Product Officer from CSI.

“Most companies don’t realize just how much time and money gets wasted in their traditional AP workflows,” said Dan Miller, Sage’s SVP of Product for Sage Intacct. “Studies have shown it can cost companies $20 or more per check to pay vendors and more than 80% of an AP team’s time is spent on manual transactions and payment processing. Sage Intacct customers can now leverage CSI’s trusted payments platform as a seamless extension to their company’s AP team to streamline the AP process and save money on each vendor payment.”

There are several key benefits to the new Vendor Payments solution:

One system from invoice to payment
Vendor Payments powered by CSI streamlines existing workflows, so customers can process everything from bills through reconciliation without leaving the Sage Intacct experience. Automating payments and eliminating manual processes, as well as the opportunities for errors, frees up significant time to focus on more strategic activities. Users submit their payments in Sage Intacct and Vendor Payments handles the rest.

Faster reconciliations, less errors
AP teams can easily match invoices and payments, saving them time, reducing errors, and simplifying the reconciliation process. In addition, companies gain full visibility into the status of all their payments with detailed updates at every stage, from submitted to paid.

More ways to pay and save
Vendor Payments powered by CSI lets companies pay vendors the way they prefer, with options that include ACH, printed checks, one-time-use virtual cards. By no longer having to manually print and mail checks themselves, companies can see a potential savings of 25 percent or more per payment. In addition, as the payment processor, CSI can proactively reach out to vendors on a customer’s behalf to get them on board – saving users the time and effort of reaching out to every vendor, while providing them an easy way to update their payment details.

Furthermore, with CSI as the engine behind Vendor Payments, their trusted payments platform becomes a seamless extension of your AP team. Your payments are backed by CSI’s security program, which includes their status as a Mastercard and Visa certified processor, multiple compliance certifications (including PCI DSS Level 1 and SOC 2), and encryption for data-in-transit and data-at-rest.
