World’s Largest Payment Network Powers
Transaction Data Management with Kofax TotalAgility®
Kofax® Limited (NASDAQ: KFX)(LSE: KFX), a leading provider
of smart process applications for the business critical First Mile™
of customer interactions, today announced that Visa has deployed
enhanced data and invoice management capabilities in the Asia
Pacific region utilizing Kofax TotalAgility®. The solution will
help businesses better overcome the challenges that they face today
in accounts payable and receivables management processes that
typically stem from a lack of process automation.
Kofax TotalAgility, Kofax Kapow™ and Kofax Altosoft Insight™
analytics products interact with Visa’s B2B transaction information
to deliver specific outcomes for business process and corporate
cash flow management. These include:
- Automatically capturing details such as
dates, product and service descriptions and amounts to enable a
three-way match of purchase orders, invoices and payment
instructions, thereby eliminating time-consuming manual
intervention to achieve both efficient reconciliations and
payments.
- Providing and analyzing accurate and
timely data to enable greater visibility into expenditures,
collections and cash flow management.
- Delivering data in flexible formats
that enable organizations to seamlessly integrate that information
into their existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
systems.
“The starting point in developing a frictionless solution for
businesses was the recognition of the challenges that organizations
face today in accounts payable and receivables processes,” said
Olivia Leong, Head of Commercial and Prepaid Payment Solutions,
Visa Asia Pacific. “The basic premise for both Visa and Kofax was
that business is never ‘as usual.’ For this reason, we focused on
ways to reduce the typical friction that exists between these
processes. The Kofax platform supports Visa’s mission to
continuously evolve our payment services to ensure relevance amidst
the constantly changing demands in the business, financial and
regulatory environment and to continue to be the best way to pay
and be paid.”
Visa's investment in the Kofax solution and focus on payable and
receivable process automation to achieve quality transactional data
is perfectly timed as the Asia Pacific region is witnessing a
revival of corporate spending in analytics platforms. Gartner has
projected that this expenditure could reach US$1.6 billion by
20171.
“Kofax's solution supports Visa in delivering better payment
data to businesses and governments that its issuing partners serve
today,” commented Howard Dratler, Executive Vice President of Field
Operations at Kofax. “Visa selected the Kofax platform based on
four very important criteria -- flexibility, accuracy, timeliness
and efficiency -- in managing transactional information. In doing
so, we are able to help Visa address key challenges that plague
businesses when managing payable and receivable processes.”
Kofax TotalAgility is the first unified smart process
application development and deployment platform that includes

integration, advanced analytics and mobility in a single platform.

systems of engagement and systems of record to help increase
responsiveness to customers, improve service levels and gain
competitive advantage in order to better manage and grow businesses

fastest way to acquire, enhance, and deliver information to

consumable to drive productivity and add insight into the
decision-making process.

near real-time reporting, dashboard, visualization and ETL
(extract, transform, load) capabilities for both data and process
analytics.
