Procure to Pay
Retail AP Automation
Retail and ecommerce companies are unique when it comes to accounts payable.
Your business depends on a complex chain of inventory suppliers and vendors. This creates enormous risk compared to other industries, so you need tight control over invoice processes to prevent fraud and build strong supplier relations.
You need an AP solution that is flexible and adapts to your workflows and processes in order to stay on top of your supply chain.
At the same time, the retail industry is one of the most competitive industries in the business world. To remain competitive you need real-time insight into your purchasing and payment details. And to stay on top of trends you need to be able to change purchase and payment decisions quickly.
But most importantly, the sheer volume of invoices that your accounts payable department processes can be overwhelming - especially when performing 2 way or 3 way match.
Whether you are processing hundreds of invoices or month or thousands, an efficient AP automation solution with in-built data capture capabilities can streamline your accounts payable workflow and save you time, money, and frustration.
Retail AP Automation software powered by CoreIntegrator provides a paperless, automated solution for retail and ecommerce companies.
In fact, CoreIntegrator has developed retail AP automation software that automates the entire process of procure to pay.
And by implementing our ePayment solution you can even earn cash back on every bill you pay!
Retail and Ecommerce Companies Face Unique AP Challenges
We understand that retail companies deal with a vast array of vendors with different business portfolios. So you need a configurable system that can handle complicated accounts and workflow.
You need automation that can handle internal vendor management processes so you can keep up with the speed of the rapidly evolving industry.
Paper-based AP processes leave you vulnerable to purchasing blind spots. AP automation provides visibility into the entire AP process. Visibility that can keep you up to date in real time about the status of the purchase orders, invoice approvals, and payments.
Perhaps most importantly, AP automation significantly reduces invoice processing time. So you can pay your vendors well within time. In fact, with AP automation you can qualify for early payment discounts!
So AP automation not only saves retailers time and money, it also helps you build good relationships with your suppliers.
In an industry where margins are thin and supply chain disruptions can be a disaster, you need a fast, efficient way to process invoices.
That’s where CoreIntegrator comes in! We’ve developed a specialty in automating AP for retailers.

Track and Use Data from AP Automation to Achieve Greater Savings
Electronic archiving of legacy as well as current invoices allows for easier searching, reporting, and auditing of invoices.
But our retail and ecommerce customers also use data from our AP automation solutions to track expenses, find anomalies, and further reduce expenses.
With greater insight into the bills they pay, our customers can identify less expensive vendors.
For example, say you have 2 stores in the same area - if one waste services company is charging far less than the other you will see that right away and be able to switch to the cheaper company for both sites.
AP automation also protects our customers against invoice fraud. Any anomalous invoice is flagged, and AP staff can investigate it before your company pays a fraudulent invoice.
