Your Goal
Productive AP staff
Focused on Your objectives, AND
Satisfied Business Partners
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.

and Faster Access
