Head of Accounts Payable, CVS Group
Our invoices flow automatically through the process and arrive coded in "approval in progress"! We use "live data" as I want to ensure continued service in the event of enforced home working. This is where the Kefron AP really comes into its own as this is not something we could have done with a paper-based invoicing system.

Yes, modern supplier portals like Kefron AP securely integrate with ERPs such as SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Dynamics. Integration ensures smooth data flow for invoice and payment information without manual transfers.
A supplier portal centralises communication, document exchange, and performance tracking. Procurement and AP teams gain clear visibility into vendor activity, data accuracy, and relationship history.
Accounts Payable teams reduce manual workload, Procurement teams improve supplier oversight, and Vendors enjoy faster communication and payment visibility.
By giving suppliers real-time access to invoice and payment status, a supplier portal eliminates the need for manual follow-ups. Vendors can log in anytime to view updates instead of emailing or calling accounts payable teams.
Automating vendor communication speeds up invoice submission, reduces data entry errors, and shortens approval cycles. Finance teams save time while maintaining visibility and control over supplier activities.
Suppliers can attach invoices, credit notes, contracts, compliance forms, and tax documentation. This centralised storage keeps all vendor-related information audit-ready and easy to access.
Key metrics include vendor query volume, portal adoption rate, invoice submission through the portal, invoice processing time, and vendor data accuracy. Tracking these shows improvements in AP efficiency and supplier engagement.
Transparency and faster updates build trust with suppliers. When vendors can track payments and resolve issues themselves, communication becomes collaborative rather than transactional.
