Cashfree Payments, India’s payments and API banking solutions company, has launched ‘Vendor Payments’, a comprehensive platform that empowers businesses to streamline and manage their purchase-to-pay cycle, improving efficiency and reducing processing time. ‘
Vendor Payments’ simplifies not only vendor payments, but “other account payables including utility bill payments, other business expenses and due taxes.”
‘Vendor Payments’ enables users to effortlessly “upload invoices received from suppliers and other account payables by either manually entering the details or importing them from accounting tools.”
The solution also “supports bulk invoice uploads, enabling businesses to process multiple invoices simultaneously for improved efficiency.”
Similarly, businesses will have the flexibility “to add beneficiary details for payments and easily input invoice details. Once the invoices details are updated, businesses can initiate single or bulk payouts for the unpaid invoices.”
‘Vendor Payments’ supports various payment modes, “including Immediate Payment Service (IMPS), National Electronic Funds Transfer (NEFT), Interbank Funds Transfer (IFT), and Unified Payments Interface (UPI), ensuring flexibility.”
‘Vendor Payments’ integrates “with accounting tools like Tally, Tally Prime, and other ERPs for seamless syncing of unpaid invoices and payment statuses.” Integration with accounting tools allows “for easy export and reconciliation of payment data.”
