We aim to supply your current back office system (ERP, TMS, etc.) with real-time, reliable data. OpenEnvoy integrates seamlessly with every major back office system to provide best-in-class AP automation.

Support can mean many different things, especially as needs evolve or change. This is why we never charge professional service fees for training and provide unlimited on-demand education to support our customers.

Additionally, we customize the interface to our customer’s specifications, and we can send team members on-site if necessary. An on-site visit is included in the cost of the engagement.

We’ve built our application on an enterprise customer API, so all document types like contracts and POs are structured, digitized, and made available via API, depending on our customer’s requirements. Additionally, functions like ACL and RBAC are available too.

We use cloud multi-tenant with modern shards to separate data. However, unlike many cloud solutions, we integrate with on-prem ERPs as many of our customers have not yet transitioned to cloud ERPs. We do not outsource sub-processing.

OpenEnvoy connects with most modern back office systems such as Oracle (financials, cloud, netsuite Peoplesoft), Microsoft Dynamics 365, and SAP, in addition to legacy systems such as OS390 and iAS. OpenEnvoy also connects with major BI vendors directly.
