Supplier Governance - Data Sovereignty & Unassailable Fraud Protection at the Source
Close the single largest entry point for manipulated payment credentials. With the intelligent supplier portal by capient FLOW, you proactively shift the responsibility for data quality straight to where it originates
Fraud Protection at the Source
Systematic vendor self-service onboarding and real-time IBAN validation. Blocks manipulated payment details before they ever reach your accounting infrastructure.
50% Reduction in Routine Tasks
An end to the time-consuming "information desk." Vendors track their invoice status autonomously within the portal—completely eliminating manual queries.
Maverick Buying Prevention
Group-wide transparency over exclusively approved preferred vendors. Enforces negotiated framework contracts and maximises your leverage in price negotiations.
Security Begins Before Booking: Systematic Validation Over Manual Risks
Absolute payment security is impossible without verified, operational master data. At an enterprise scale of 100,000 invoices per annum and hundreds of vendors, manual verification of banking credentials and certifications introduces an uncalculable risk. capient FLOW programmatically handles this verification, safeguarding your corporate capital directly at the source:
01
Self-Service Onboarding
New vendors maintain their master data, tax IDs, and banking credentials independently within a secure, closed environment. This eliminates data entry errors and transfer risks within your team from the outset.
02
Systematic Compliance Verification
The platform validates IBAN / Sort-Code data, VAT IDs, and compliance documentation in real time during submission. Incomplete or fraudulent details are instantly blocked.
03
Insurmountable Tamper Protection
Short-term or suspicious modifications to payment credentials (e.g., altered banking details on an incoming invoice) are immediately isolated. They must pass through a multi-stage, internal approval workflow before a payment template can be generated. Crucially, the software never independently executes transactions.
04
Leverage for Centralised Procurement
Through group-wide transparency over exclusively verified and approved suppliers, you systematically eliminate maverick buying. Your workforce purchases exclusively where negotiated framework agreements apply.
The End of the "Information Desk" - Freeing Your Team from Costly Routine Tasks
In many finance departments, vendor queries regarding payment deadlines and invoice status tie up valuable, highly qualified capacities. capient FLOW transforms this unproductive allocation of resources into digital efficiency:
Real-Time Payment Status
Vendors can independently track the exact status of their documents (received, in verification, approved, template submitted to bank) inside the secure portal at any time. Time-consuming queries via email or telephone are completely eliminated.
Context-Based Collaboration
Discrepancies, quantity variances, or pricing mismatches are resolved directly on the digital document within the portal. No more scattered communications—everything remains documented in an audit-proof, centralized environment.
Accelerated Year-End Closing
Partners enjoy direct access to their historic document archive. Balance confirmations and vendor reconciliations ahead of year-end closing are accelerated and operate seamlessly without manual friction.
