Frequently Asked Questions

Does Open ECX support businesses in the Construction Industry?

Yes, we support many businesses within the Construction industry, including NG Bailey and McLaughlin and Harvey. 

How does Open ECX’s invoice processing technology work?

Our solution goes beyond basic data extraction. We employ a unique conversion technology to achieve unparalleled data accuracy, eliminating costly errors. At the core is sophisticated 3-way matching that automatically compares invoices against purchase orders (POs) and goods received notes (GRNs), pinpointing any discrepancies at the line level or overall invoice level. You have the flexibility to use 2-way or 3-way matching as needed for different suppliers.

Can I control workflows and approvals?

Definitely. Open ECX enables you to define custom business rules and approval workflows.  These can be multi-level, ensuring the right people sign off on invoices. Approvals can be managed within the portal or through email, depending on your preference. Potential errors are automatically flagged and invoices routed back to suppliers before they hit your finance system, saving time and preventing inaccurate payments. 

How does automated invoice processing benefit my Accounts Payable team?

Open ECX automates time-consuming manual tasks, freeing up your AP team to focus on analysis and strategic initiatives. Our advanced 3-way matching and error detection significantly reduce workloads, while our 100% accuracy guarantee delivers peace of mind and eliminates time spent on costly corrections.
