As promised, we have our ‘counterpoint’ to last week’s blog. This week it’s your turn AP! There is so much you can learn from your peers in procurement. I cannot wait to dive in! (Side note: finding just the right image in stock art kept me up late last night. Please enjoy this wonderful team huddle.)
Topics: AP, procurement, risk, supply chain, business payments
At PaymentWorks we love Procurement and AP equally. We have amazing champions and customers in both areas, and our platform has strategic benefits to both functions. Yet, we are constantly surprised that these two seemingly made-for-each-other departments don't always appreciate all they do in support of each other.
So we thought we'd take a stab in this two part series at playing 'counselor' to this couple, and walk through just how much they could learn from each other.
Let's begin.
Topics: payments fraud, AP, procurement, supply chain

Mistakes are going to happen in any business, at least any business that involves humans. There really isn’t any way around that.
While it would be wonderful to eliminate the scourge of mistakes completely, that just isn't realistic. The goal, instead, should be to minimize exposure to risks while decreasing the high costs that come with onboarding and maintaining your vendor master. And make no mistake, the costs are indeed high. Benchmarking among our customer base indicates it costs $100-200 to onboard and maintain each of your vendors, each and every year you keep them on your vendor master!
