Duplicate Supplier Finder™ software

If you manage more than 1,000 supplier accounts on your master supplier file, you almost certainly have duplicate supplier entries and errors you know nothing about. This is one of the main causes of overpayments and costs organisations significant sums of money every year.

Duplicate Supplier Finder™ (DSF) is an accounts payable audit tool which identifies errors in your master supplier file either on a monthly or quarterly basis. Current accounting software does not cover the functionality within DSF. Typically accounting packages will look for a name match or carry out a postcode check.

Duplicate supplier entries and errors are caused by numerous different reasons, many emanating from supplier errors, internal process errors and sometimes fraud. Current accounts payable processes and manpower cannot protect against all of them. Duplicate Supplier Finder™ analyses the master supplier file against 6 levels of granularity ensuring only real duplicates are highlighted. It can highlight:
  • supplier errors and fraud
  • input and human errors
  • typographical mistakes
  • process errors
  • compliancy issues
  • multi-supplier entries

DSF will protect an Accounts Payable department from duplicates and ensure best practice management. It is an accounts payable audit tool that saves valuable AP time, improves invoice management processes and protects valuable working capital.

If you still don’t believe you have duplicate supplier entries and have more than 1,000 supplier accounts then why not make sure and click here and apply for a free health check worth £495.
