Managed Services

Payment Application Managed Services (PAMS) is a prospective continuous review of invoices that leverages people, process and technology. Artificial intelligence and robotic process automation allow digitization of invoices, automated compliance tests and changes recommended through machine learning. This enables discovery of exceptions to contractual terms before payments are due.

  • Outsourcing accounts payable for real estate and construction spending
  • Identifying incorrect charges, fraudulent activities and duplicative charges
  • Benchmarking of cost at a line-item level to highlight excessive costs for ongoing and upcoming contracts
  • Providing data used to improve tax exposure

Our clients hire us for one main reason: they want us to prevent leakage on their large capex and facility management spending while they focus on their core business.

We typically achieve 3% to 9% savings based off the face value of the invoices.
