AvidXchange Partners with Premier Community to Bring AP Automation to HOA Management Customers
[Editor’s Note: Earlier this week, analysts from Ardent Partners were in Chicago attending the AvidXchange user conference, Revolution 2018. It was an exciting and well attended event. Be sure to look out for a full write-up of the event next week!]
AvidXchange, the North Carolina-based provider of invoice automation and payment processes for mid-market companies, has recently announced a new partnership with Premier Community Bank (Premier Community), to bring AP automation solutions to Premier Community’s Homeowner Association (HOA) management customers. Through this partnership, Premier Community, which is headquartered in Florida, will be able to provide AvidXchange’s AP automation and payment tool to its HOA management companies. HOA managers will have increased security and control in paying bills in an industry where the majority of property payments to vendors are still manually processed.
Corcentric Announces Acquisition of Source One Management Services
Corcentric, a provider of financial process automation solutions with corporate headquarters in New Jersey, this week announced the acquisition of Source One Management Services, a procurement services provider and strategic sourcing consulting firm, with headquarters in the Philadelphia area. Source One provides sourcing-related services and technology and will complement Corcentric’s existing procure-to-pay solutions. Earlier this year, Corcentric and its parent company, AmeriQuest, announced it would be unifying the organization under the Corcentric name (read up on the strategy behind that here) to bring together the resources from both AmeriQuest and Corcentric, and to expand its access and value to its customers across the full P2P process. The acquisition of Source One falls in line with that strategy as well, and should place the company in a better position for long-term growth as Corcentric will be better able to reflect prospects’ centralized payment needs from both ends of the P2P process.
