Our take
Digital finance innovations across the last decade have dramatically changed how financial operations are conducted, with businesses managing their payables workloads digitally. Despite such innovations, such workflows are still conducted manually, leading to time-consuming, repetitive, and inefficient workflows.
Tipalti provides a global payments, accounts payable, and purchase order automation platform, offering tools for each area to reduce manual workflows and optimize operations. The platform’s functionalities are designed to be flexible for the scaling of growing businesses, helping to optimize financial visibility, efficiency, and control without the need for business infrastructure changes.
Whilst individual platforms exist for global payments, accounts payable, and purchase order management, Tipalti has recognized that businesses do not want to juggle fragmented software solutions inefficiently. The company aims to free up financial departments’ time without compromising their software stack and workflows through its end-to-end payment automation solutions.
