Supplier Portals

Direct Insite's Invoices On-Line (IOL) e-invoicing Self-Service Portal makes it easy for companies to securely receive legally compliant electronic invoices directly into their accounting system -- without operator intervention.

Invoices On-Line has helped some of the largest companies in the world significantly streamline their accounts payable processes, gain better financial control and invoice transparency, and reduce supplier inquiries regarding invoice and payment status -- all while improving supplier relationships.

With more than 175,000 companies actively using the Invoices On-Line Portal, chances are good that some of your key trading partners already use the portal for submitting invoices electronically to other customers.

Best of all, our self-service registration and profile management tools make it a snap for any supplier to get started with the Invoices On-Line Portal. And our unique supplier on-boarding process means you'll get the adoption rates necessary to ensure a strong return on investment.

Not surprisingly, some Direct Insite users report supplier adoption rates of more than 80 percent.

Once registered, suppliers have access to a self-service decision-tree that provides self-help answers to their inquiries. For instance, suppliers can verify their invoice and payment status at any time, without burdening your AP department. Our centralized, highly secure and SSAE-16 compliant archive stores invoice information and provides online 24x7 access as well as robust reporting.

As supplier invoice and payment status information is updated in accounts payable, the Invoices On-Line Portal is automatically updated to convey the same information to suppliers, in real-time.

Invoices On-Line also allows suppliers to submit electronic inquiries to your AP department, such as for disputes. Inquiries are automatically logged and routed via user-defined business rules to the appropriate AP staff for resolution. Suppliers also can upload inquiry attachments.
