More Collaborative Payment Management

Ariba Payment Management solutions are delivered through the Ariba Commerce Cloud, integrated with a unique combination of technology, community resources, and services to make traditional ACH payment programs a thing of the past. With Ariba, you can extend your existing ERP or financial system to create a collaborative, online payment platform. One that drives operational efficiency, streamlines payment procedures, and reduces processing costs by helping you:

• Gain maximum supplier participation
  Electronic payment programs often stalled due to low supplier participation, but when you leverage Ariba Payment Management solutions for supplier enablement, you can quickly achieve 100% participation. Whether your suppliers number 200 or 2,000, Ariba has the staff, processes, methodologies, and technologies to contact your suppliers on your behalf, explain the benefits of the Ariba Network, and give them access to a fast, automated enrollment and enablement process. If any supplier isn't ready to enroll, we have the means to accommodate their needs, too.
• Improve AP team productivity
  First-generation electronic payment programs forced AP teams to shoulder the high cost and risk of maintaining supplier bank accounts. These teams have also been fielding supplier inquiries about payments and remittance reconciliation - activities that typically consume 30% of their time! Ariba Payment Management solutions remove these burdens. Your suppliers can now maintain their own bank account information with self-service tools, and view real-time payment status via their supplier portal - freeing up your team to focus on more strategic initiatives.
• Avoid fraud and late payment fees
  Relying on paper checks and invoices exposes your business to fraud, and a greater likelihood of incurring late payment fees. Eliminate these risks by collaborating with and paying suppliers over Ariba's secure business commerce network. Integrate Ariba Invoice Management with your Payment Management solution, and use automated tools to validate and handle invoices. Any with errors or omissions are rejected and routed for efficient, timely handling. Then electronically issue virtually all payments on-time via straight-through, no-touch processing.
• Eliminate paper and check costs
  Paper and check costs go away when you use Ariba Payment Management to deliver payments through the Ariba Network, where more than 730,000 suppliers connect and collaborate for better commerce. Augment your solution with Ariba Invoice Management, and you can eliminate the costs of handling paper invoices, too.
