The Missing Piece to Your Sage Intacct Environment

Simplify your treasury management functions and manage your entire payables process from within your Sage Intacct App. FISPAN’s embedded solution integrates with your native Intacct environment to create an immersive, embedded banking experience. 

What is Sage Intacct?

Sage Intacct’s cloud financial management solution streamlines core accounting processes in one central location. Thousands of businesses use Sage Intacct’s ERP solution to simplify and automate their core operations, with 65 million customer records and 35 million vendor relationships managed in Sage Intacct alone. Built by accountants, for accountants, the Sage Intacct Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system includes General Ledger, Cash Management, Purchasing, Accounts Payable, Consolidation, and Reports functionalities. Home to a financial professional’s operational processes, the Sage Intacct ERP environment is an integral part of their day to day activities and a key area where banking clients spend their time. 
 

So What's The Missing Piece to Your Sage Intacct Environment?

When you think of your treasury management functions, what comes to mind? For financial professionals like bookkeepers and cash clerks, the descriptors “time consuming,” “tedious,” and “manual” commonly arise. 

As a financial professional, the importance of the ERP system cannot be understated. Acting as a central hub for core operations, ERPs like Sage Intacct enable streamlined workflows for financials, sales, manufacturing, distribution, construction, and more. All of these functions are integrated into the Sage Intacct environment....except banking. Because of this missing piece, many financial professionals spend hours on their treasury management functions: navigating back and forth between their banking portal and Intacct environment, manually processing payments, or spending additional hours importing and exporting transactions. These processes certainly expose vulnerabilities for human error, demand hours for manual and repetitive processes, and regrettably divert focus away from your team’s high-value operations. 

ERPs and BankingFISPAN was created with the purposeful intention of filling that gap and finally bridging the connection between clients and your commercial banks and providing you with the missing piece of the ERP puzzle. For you, great news! The days of switching between your online banking portal and Sage Intacct environment are over. Today, you can embed your banking services directly into your native Sage environment with FISPAN’s embedded banking solutions.
