Your Goal

            Focused on Your objectives, AND

The Problem

Your Vendors represent a vital resource to your company’s success and, in any economy, they want to be paid.  Many vendors submit their invoices through the mail requiring manual effort by your staff to get them processed and paid.

The Solution

Vendor Information Access (VIA) from Data Design Associates provides your Vendors with the facility they need to do their own invoice submission.  They can enter their invoices over a secure web-based internet connection, and fax the corresponding document image for your review.  

The Problem

Vendor inquiries regarding the status of an invoice or the timing of a payment take time and cause staff interruptions.  Multiply those “quick” calls by the number of vendors and invoices you handle and the loss of productivity can be staggering.

The Solution

Vendor Information Access (VIA) from Data Design Associates provides your Vendors with the toolkit they need to do their own status checking.  They can see when their invoices ‘hit’ the AP system and when they’re paid – 24 x 7 – so they can check on their       time.  VIA also gives them 1-click convenience for email inquiries; and since authorized Vendors can setup and maintain their own access ID and password, you won’t need a special VIA administrator.

The Problem

Internal routing of invoices for payment authorization can significantly add to the time required to process them.  Invoices can be lost or held indefinitely on someone’s desk.

The Solution

Vendor Information Access (VIA) from Data Design Associates provides your organization with a controlled, web-based, workflow solution to route invoices to the individuals responsible for approval.  Current status information is maintained on every invoice received so you don’t lose track of their progress through the invoice processing lifecycle.
