What are Integrations and how can I add them to my Account?

Connect to your back-office system with our Integrations Hub and streamline your invoice processing.

Integrations Overview 

The Integrations Hub allows you to connect your Vendor Portal account to your existing back-office invoicing system to import invoices easily. This eliminates the need to re-create the invoices to be processed by Fintech, ensures the correct invoices are submitted, and reduces the risk of duplicates. 

Fintech will help configure the Integrations Hub to accept your file formats. If you are new to back-office integrations, please see the glossary below. Fintech can integrate with over 400 back-office systems. 

Your organization will benefit from this time-saving feature regardless of size. The Vendor Portal accepts files transferred from FTP or AS2 - if your organization uses these file import methods -or you can import them manually.
