By Fraser Carr
Canon UK announced this week a partnership with and enterprise purchase-to-pay specialist, Palette. The terms of the deal will see Palette deliver efficient, end-to-end, digital purchase-to-pay platform, which offers a fully automated solution to businesses across Europe.
The partnership will integrate PaletteArena, Palette’s complete purchase-to-pay suite, with Canon’s document and image processing technology. The offering will deliver businesses a complete purchase-to-pay solution from a single, fully mobile platform for unified governance across procurement and finance, providing control over the full process, cost reductions and a rapid return on investment.
“Working with Palette is a logical step for our organisation that enables Canon to expand the range of solutions and services we offer to our customers, providing control, security, visibility and compliance at every stage of the billing and invoicing process. We can now offer fully integrated purchase-to-pay solutions that quickly deliver real efficiency gains and ROI not only by replacing paper-based routines but changing the way financial departments operate and therefore streamlining accounting and buying processes,” said European and UK Marketing Manager for Canon Solutions, Daniel Seris.
Canon will also market and sell the PaletteOnline cloud purchase-to-pay solution to European customers seeking to drive efficiency in their financial and back-office processes but looking for the flexibility of monthly service fee payments instead of upfront payment for their system.
