Standard Workflow Module
This workflow service supports data or document validation, auto enrichment, query management and outbound data formats. Validation defines the rules to which the data or document must adhere in order to be processed successfully. Auto enrichment enhances documents with data held in the document database such as address information and reference numbers, this workflow can also be used to enforce document rendition rules. The system can be integrated with third party accounting systems/ERP systems and Accountis will provide the conversion from the EIP Hub’s internal XML format to the format required.
Enhanced Workflow Module (Inbox/Outbox)
This workflow service supports all elements of the Standard Workflow service plus document approval, manual enrichment and supplier/buyer interaction points. Approval allows the issuer or receiver of a document to review the document before it is sent or after it has been received and the option of rejecting the documents at these points is available. Manual enrichment enhances documents with data held in the document database with added features such as document attachment. The system can also be configured to allow suppliers and buyers to interact with each other or with the documents during certain stages of the document processing. The points can also be defined in terms of specific outcomes relating to the document processing, e.g. flag up documents that have got errors and warnings to the issuer before they are submitted.
Invoice to Payment Module
With the Invoice to Payment Module you can digitise your entire invoice approval process from start to finish. It works alongside your Accountis system to enable you to design an accurate approval workflow that minimises manual handling and introduces a more cost-effective business process. It supports invoices in any format (EDI, scanned paper and electronic) and delivers them online to the correct person. It immediately eliminates all the problems associated with having multiple finance systems in geographically separated finance departments.

True Cost of Invoicing…
For most companies the invoicing and payment process is a slow and painful one. Whether paying out for services received, or trying to get hold of money owed, everyone knows that it can take weeks if not months to see the process through to the end. In business time is money, and when you are at the mercy of a slow, paper-based process the shocking truth is that you can end up wasting an awful lot of both!
Case: DHL eBilling
“We initially integrated the system in Belgium, but were so impressed with Fundtech’s Accountis EIP solution that we were keen to extend the service to our other European offices as soon as possible. Those customers that already have access to the system are finding it very easy to use, which proves to us that the project has already been a success.”
“Our initial requirements were very complex yet Fundtech were able to produce a powerful, VAT compliant system that was delivered within our tight timescales and budget. The Functech development and support teams are fantastic and their motivation to deliver a technically outstanding solution for us has been exceptional.”
