Stampli, the leading financial automation platform centered on accounts payable, today announces that it is the first Sage Intacct "Fintech Plus Tier Marketplace Partner" for AP Automation to have a validated specialty in Sage Intacct Construction

While Sage Intacct Construction supports a range of common accounts payable scenarios, many construction firms have more complex AP processes involving multiple entities, job costing, retainage and other challenges. To provide their subcontractors and suppliers with the quick, accurate payments they expect, they supplement SIC with manual processing tasks that are often inefficient, error prone, overly reliant on paper, and create risks to essential supplier and subcontractor relationships.

Now these businesses can automate their AP processes using the combination of Sage Intacct Construction and Stampli. With accounts payable at its core and AI embedded at every point, Stampli centralizes all AP processes, streamlines workflows, reduces errors, ensures timely payments to suppliers and subcontractors, and fosters better relationships.

Stampli's recognition by Sage speaks to its seamless integration with Sage Intacct Construction, which ensures complete data sync, a familiar environment for AP staff, and a rapid implementation process with no need for engineering or development. Stampli's integration with SIC relies on a comprehensive API that is built in-house and in advance by Stampli to support the full range of native SIC functionality, including essential construction needs such as retainage, job costing, change orders, and others.

Stampli is committed to full compatibility with all current and future Sage Intacct Construction functionalities, letting SIC customers make their AP operations far more efficient without compromising their ERP or constraining their future business or technology decisions.

"For any construction company, subcontractor and supplier relationships are critical to business success. Inefficient AP processes create major risks to these relationships, which is why companies with complex invoicing needs should pursue automation and efficiency," said Dennis Stejskal, Head of Strategy at Sage Intacct Construction. "Sage sets a high bar for validating solutions to ensure the best experience for our customers. We are confident in Stampli because of their robust support for Sage Intacct Construction-specific functionalities. As a validated Sage solution, Stampli's AP automation platform reduces paper clutter, increases efficiencies in the contractor's AP department, and significantly improves relationships with subcontractors and vendors."

How Stampli solves challenges in construction AP:

• Paper clutter: AP teams struggle with stacks of physical paper, making document management inefficient. Stampli centralizes all AP documents digitally, reducing paperwork and streamlining processing.
• Errors: Manual data entry leads to mistakes and makes reconciliation difficult. Stampli automates data capture and entry, reducing errors and easing reconciliation.
• Visibility: Decentralized paper processes lead to poor tracking of project costs and lack of accountability. Stampli unifies all AP processes and documents in a single auditable view, all the while supporting job costing for easy allocation of project-specific costs.
• Relationships: Inefficient AP processes damage subcontractor and supplier relationships. Stampli simplifies onboarding and managing vendor contracts, and improves payment timeliness and accuracy.
• Retainage & cash flow: Manual management of retainage amounts leads to disputes and cash flow issues. Stampli automatically syncs retainage amounts with Sage Intacct Construction, ensuring correct updates and preventing disputes.
