Unnecessary complexity and manual tasks prevent many companies from utilizing the fast, secure and user-friendly processes that private consumers are used to experiencing when making online purchases.
AirPlus has entered into a partnership with Mazepay and offers a B2B payment solution that provides instant approval for credit card payments to employees for products and services online with unique single- and multi-use virtual cards. This cloud-based spend management service fully supports remote work, enabling employees to purchase and pay for products anytime, anywhere.
"There is a great need among companies for a solution that provides a smarter approach to indirect procurement. By unifying AirPlus proven payment solutions with Mazepay's innovative platform, we make B2B online purchases as simple and secure as it should be", says Patrik Nilsson Key Account Manager at AirPlus.
The SaaS spend management solution is built around AirPlus single-use and multi-use virtual cards, a new virtual card will be issued for each unique purchase and subscription. No matter how business rules are configured, a virtual card will never be issued without pre-approval.
“By introducing smarter software, AirPlus and Mazepay help procurement and finance professionals cut the tail in longtail or indirect procurement. And not just individual purchases. With this solution, companies can get control and a complete and centralized overview of all running subscriptions and recurring payments,” says Patrik Nilsson and continues:
“Another advantage is that it is easier to forecast costs. It is also easier to onboard new employees with the necessary subscriptions, and track subscriptions across the entire organization.”
And even though unique virtual cards are created for each purchase, all transactions are collected on one single monthly invoice to easily control your company spend.
”Companies no longer have to onboard one-time suppliers or track down maverick spending and stray invoices. With this solution, the time and resources that are spent on managing the company’s indirect procurement strategy are significantly reduced - all while improving spend visibility", says Per Daluiso Salmonsen, International Sales Executive, Mazepay.
