With PaymentSource, Fintech empowers businesses to automate both cash-on-delivery and term payments for alcohol deliveries, supporting compliance with state regulations governing alcohol purchases.
While renowned for its accounts payable and receivable benefits, PaymentSource also incorporates automation technology for various manual processes involved in alcohol business management. Once an invoice is received and automatically paid, the Fintech integration seamlessly delivers error-free, GL-coded invoice data directly into the client’s back-office or accounting system.

Moreover, the portal provides actionable reporting tools such as the Spend Overview Report, Distributor Analysis Report, and Cost Variance Report. These tools enable clients to monitor changes in expected product costs and identify potential influences affecting margin erosion, allowing prompt resolution of issues impacting desired results.
