Cortex Unveils New Advances in Document Routing & Approval Technology with Intelligent Invoice Approval


CALGARY, Alberta, Oct. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cortex Business Solutions Inc. (“Cortex”) (TSXV: CBX), a North American network-as-a-service complete document management & e-invoicing solutions provider, today announces the launch of a proprietary document workflow solution for the automatic routing and approval of procure-to-pay business documents. This expanded service solidifies Cortex’s expansion into a full-service AP and AR automation solutions provider.

The new “Intelligent Invoice Approval” (IIA) product offering complements Cortex’s existing e-invoicing platform to move documents seamlessly through the routing and approval phase using a multi-level approval method for the decision of processing and uploading documents into the ERP system. This solution is the next step in the paperless exchange of business documents, enhancing electronic invoicing by enabling the automatic routing of documents for review and approval from vendors directly into a Buyer’s accounting system. This service is customizable from an entry-level approval module to a full enterprise-class solution based on the client’s business needs and features the latest advances in cloud-based mobile-optimized technology for an unprecedented user experience.

Combined with the previous announcement of the acquisition of Powervision, a leading Canadian provider of document workflow and management services, the launch of IIA positions Cortex to offer a comprehensive solution and launches the company to the forefront of e-invoicing and workflow providers. “This expanded competitive offering within the financial supply chain confirms Cortex’s growth strategy and commitment to adding value for stakeholders, furthering the company’s vision to become a single, trusted partner for all our clients’ digital transformation needs,” said Joel Leetzow, President and CEO of Cortex. “This new service offering will continue to raise customer expectations of the level of technology and service they should expect from technology providers. They asked for more, and Cortex delivered.”
