Why Unify Invoice Automation?

Invoice matching and payments are crucial but often labour-intensive and error-prone. In
addition, supplier payments to normal banking channels are expensive. Unify Invoice
Automation offers an intelligent solution that handles high volumes of invoices with ease,
saving you time and money.

By automating the matching of documents and leveraging blockchain technology, we
significantly reduce costly overseas transfer fees and improve the speed and reliability of
your supplier payments.

Save money by

Reducing Clerical Effort

By automating invoice
matching, our system
significantly reduces the need
for manual handling, saving
valuable employee time
(approx. 1 employee per 2,300
invoices per week).

Drastically Reducing
Overcharges

With our system, overcharge
recovery between 1% and 3%
of your cost of goods is
possible by identifying
discrepancies, with tolerances
typically set at £8.

Paying Invoices on Time &
Claiming Settlement
Discounts

Our automated system ensures
that invoices are processed
according to terms, enabling
your business to benefit from
early payment discounts, which
further reduces costs.

Recover Up to 3% of
Your Cost of Sales

Our system's unmatched
volume handling and
automation reduce manual
efforts and increase matching
accuracy, leading to significant
savings.

Improve profitability by

Controlling Margins

Our platform gives you accurate data on cost prices,
helping you to control margins effectively.

More Accurate Stock Figures

Real-time data ensures stock figures are always precise,
helping you manage inventory and profit more accurately.

Accepting Undercharges

Our system automatically accepts undercharges, ensuring no
revenue is lost in the process.

Have accurate accounts by

Accounting for All Stock Adjustments

Keep track of every stock change automatically, reducing manual
adjustments and errors.

Accounting for All Differences Between the Invoice and Receipt

Discrepancies between invoices and receipts are captured, ensuring
your financial records are accurate at all times.

Additional Benefits

Blockchain-Enabled Payments

Blockchain technology secures matched invoices, creating
tokenised IOUs that make invoice discounting more efficient.
Suppliers will know exactly when their invoice is matched and
when they'll get paid, and the tokens will facilitate improved
invoice discounting, as banks can easily assess what
percentage of their invoices are creditworthy.

Simplified Overseas Supplier Payments

Overseas transfers can be expensive. By using blockchain and
cost-effective FX mechanisms, we drastically reduce transfer
costs, saving your business money on cross-border payments.
In fact, UK SMEs alone pay nearly $5.8 billion in hidden bank fees
for cross-border payments.
By eliminating inefficiencies, we help
cut out these hidden fees, adding savings directly to your
bottom line.

The key capabilities

Advanced invoice
matching.

Our system automatically matches
invoices, receipts, credit notes, and
returns. It identifies price and
quantity discrepancies and can
automatically raise debit notes or
credit claims, achieving up to 95%
match rate on the first pass.

Automated query
resolution.

If there's a discrepancy, Unify
Invoice Automation routes
queries automatically and
provides tools for efficient issue
resolution, including automatic
creation and sending of debit
letters or credit claims. This
provides control and efficiency
over the entire invoice
authorisation cycle.

Supplier portal.

A secure, easy-to-use portal for
real-time collaboration with
suppliers. Comments and actions
are captured and displayed for
both parties, keeping everyone in
the loop. Using the portal, you can
advise designated suppliers of
upcoming debit notes as soon as
possible, giving them time to
respond before they pass to
ledgers.

E-invoicing.

the system, eliminating paper, saving
time, and reducing manual entry
errors. Our Unify EDI service is
available to connect directly with your
suppliers and our InvoiceHub
collaboration portal provides an
additional option for receiving
invoices electronically.
