Financial Supply Chain Automation

In an attempt to stem the tide of decreasing revenues, many banks and financial services organizations are actively searching for new ways to entrench themselves more deeply within the core financial processes of their corporate customers. Although efficiency in payments processing has helped improve relationships between buyers and suppliers, most banks have only managed to skim the surface when it comes to unlocking the value of the financial supply chain.


The challenge ? Finding saleable penetration points that don't require considerable investments of time or money to implement or maintain. One emerging access point for developing a stronger position within corporate financial supply chains comes at the very beginning of the AP process with invoice management. Assisting corporate clients with resolving and approving invoices quickly can start a chain-reaction of events with broad benefits for banks and financial services organizations.

Increased visibility into the financial processes of corporate clients immediately strengthens a bank's position within the financial supply chain. As a result, banks can leverage this new found visibility to partner with buyers and suppliers for supply chain financing, and play a key role in bridging the funding gap for reducing supplier DSO and extending buyer DPO.

By partnering with Bottomline Technologies, a company with vast industry expertise and innovative, market-proven solutions for streamlining invoice management processes, banks and financial services organizations can gain the technological edge they need to unlock the value of the financial supply chain. By white-labeling the company's fully outsourced Invoice Data Capture Service, Bottomline's banking partners are able to offer corporate clients a solution capable of quickly and accurately extracting line-item data from all types of invoices, converting essential information into a standardized electronic format that can be fed directly into an ERP system, invoice management solution, such as Sprinter® Invoice Mannager, or an electronic archive.
