From a technical standpoint, iPayables does not require a great deal of effort. There is no hardware or software to install. At the most basic level, iPayables is simply another electronic trading partner. For tighter integration with payables, purchasing and human resources systems, the technology group will be more involved, but most of the effort in the six to ten week implementations is performed by iPayables.

Vendor Support
iPayables works with the payables group to determine:

• What special information might be required on the internet invoice (Store Number, Requestor, etc.)
• The best approach for vendor adoption
• What business rules need to be applied (validations, matching, approval routing, etc.)

After making the appropriate determinations, iPayables configures the system to the customer’s needs and begins contacting the vendors. There is no need to hire consultants or to pay for "additional offerings" from iPayables; all of these services are simply included when a company selects iPayables.
