How Does Unimaze Automate Supplier Invoices?

Integrated EDI
Our integrated EDI suite allows you to automate integrating supplier information into your ERP system.
Speaking of ERP systems, Unimaze supports all the major ERP systems, including AP, Navision, Business Central, MS Dynamics 365, Uniconta, to mention but a few.
Invoice automation via EDI means that every supplier invoice your company receives is automatically integrated into your ERP system.
Why Unimaze Integrated EDI?
The biggest benefit of using our integrated EDI solution is its scalability.
Unimaze EDI is super-flexible and goes scalable beyond supplier invoices. Our solution can also cover messages, documents, and data exchanged with your trading partners.
So, how does supplier automation with integrated EDI work? We break it down for you:
- First, Unimaze global electronic invoice receives invoices from your supplier with EDI solutions.
- We then pre-validate the e-invoice to ensure it meets the legal and technical specifications of the country where your supplier plies their trade.
- We’ll then map out the received invoice to a data structure that can integrate automatically with your ERP or accounts payable (AP) system.
That way, we can manage the processes and application resources required to guarantee a swift and secure exchange of all of your EDI transactions.
Other benefits of using integrated EDI to automate supplier invoices include:
It Enables Automation
The ability to issue and receive EDI documents from your ERP system allows you to integrate the ERP, customer relationship management (CRM), and any other management application involved in the electronic data interchange with your trading partners.
It Helps Streamline Your Invoice Management
Because integrated EDI reduces errors, improves response times, and enables better planning, it allows you to optimize your invoicing processes while saving you operating costs.
Supplier Portal
Unimaze supports Supplier Portal Service to enable automated integration of supplier invoices.
By integrating with your supplier’s management system, our solution allows you to send purchase orders to your suppliers and receive e-invoices automatically.
Your suppliers can generate invoices directly against the received purchase order.
Why Unimaze Supplier Portal?
The benefits of using the Unimaze Supplier Portal Service are:
- It helps simplify the issuance of e-invoices because your suppliers can create the invoices from the data readily available in the purchase orders.
- It helps simplify invoice-purchase order cross-reference allowing automatic integration into the AP system.
And the beauty of it is that you can integrate 100% of your suppliers, whether they use an EDI solution or not. In essence, this enables your business to continue enjoying the benefit of EDI without locking out suppliers that use EDI solutions.
