Oracle NetSuite is a cloud-based enterprise resource planning system, ideal for mid-market, enterprise or rapidly scaling businesses. Designed to manage the accounting team’s daily operations, it also has modules designed for business intelligence, business management and financial reporting. NetSuite users benefit from streamlined workflows, automated processes and visibility into real-time business insights.NetSuite users can also leverage invoicing and approval workflows to get a handle on payables, but managing the entire payment lifecycle within NetSuite is challenging and requires a fair amount of time and resources.

By integrating an AP automation platform with NetSuite, companies can take advantage of everything NetSuite has to offer and more efficiently manage their payout volume while providing a first-class payment experience to their vendors and business partners. At Routable, we’ve designed our AP platform with NetSuite customers in mind. You’ll benefit from integrating NetSuite to Routable if you’re experiencing challenges or looking for a better way to manage:

  • Vendor onboarding and management

  • Bank account information collection and validation

  • Tax information collection and management

  • Automated invoice processing and data entry

  • Faster payment delivery options

  • Domestic and cross-border vendor payouts

  • Payment communication with vendors and contractors

  • Audit trail of all transactions and payment details in a single location

  • Reduction of manual tasks for payment reconciliation

For NetSuite customers who are looking to up-level their AP processes and drive efficiencies throughout their organization, here are three reasons companies are adopting Routable.

1. A better payments experience for both your finance team and vendors

Routable was built for organizations of any size to scale their payouts with the flexibility required to manage them however they choose. For finance teams that run on NetSuite, Routable lets you maintain your existing approval workflows with the option to configure multi-level approval flows based on dollar amounts to ensure key stakeholder visibility. We also provide options so you can manage user permissions just the way you want. For your vendors, Routable’s best-in-class vendor onboarding allows you to customize your onboarding workflow to automate banking and tax information collection, without requiring vendors and contractors to create an account. With our white-labeled experience, you can custom brand the onboarding flow as well as all vendor communications to ensure your brand is at the forefront of your vendor’s payment experience. Best of all, Routable keeps all parties informed on payment notifications with a complete audit trail so you can eliminate disputes and reduce back-and-forth communication with vendors regarding payment status.

2. A true two-way sync

With our bi-directional integration with NetSuite, data moves effortlessly between NetSuite and Routable in real time, meaning both systems are always up to date. Routable mirrors your configurations in NetSuite to create a seamless experience between both systems. Bring in your custom segments and advanced fields (including class fields) to Routable with the industry’s most sophisticated NetSuite integration.

Once you’ve completed a payment in Routable, we’ll mark bills as paid in NetSuite and sync all of the relevant payment information, including payment reference numbers like check number or ACH ID. With both systems always in harmony, Routable significantly reduces manual tasks for your finance teams while speeding up your month-end close process with streamlined reconciliation.  

3. Purpose-built for both traditional AP and mass payouts

No matter your current AP processes, scaling payouts has never been easier. Whether your company makes regular payments to the same vendors or you send higher volumes of payouts to thousands of vendors, Routable has the tools to support your AP workflows.
