Transform your payment processes with enterprise-level accounts payable automation. Alliance for Contractors delivers a comprehensive vendor payment management system that eliminates manual processes, optimizes cash flow, and strengthens vendor relationships. This isn't just software—it's your pathway to financial operations that scale with your growing construction business.
Our integrated solution combines intelligent payment scheduling, automated vendor management, and cash flow optimization tools designed specifically for the construction industry. Level up your financial operations with technology that works as hard as you do.
The Alliance Accounts Payable Automation Setup creates a centralized command center for all vendor payment activities. Built on proven financial technology platforms and enhanced through strategic Alliance partnerships, this system transforms chaotic payment processes into streamlined, automated workflows that give you complete visibility and control.
Our approach recognizes that construction businesses operate differently than other industries. Seasonal cash flows, project-based payments, and complex vendor relationships require specialized automation tools. That's why we've engineered a solution that adapts to your business cycle while maintaining the financial discipline that drives profitability.
Smart workflows that learn your payment patterns and optimize processing based on your business rules and cash flow requirements.
Complete transparency into all payables with dashboard reporting that shows exactly where every dollar stands in your payment pipeline.
Seamless connection with your supplier network, enabling electronic invoicing, automated approvals, and preferred payment methods.
Advanced algorithms that time payments to maximize your working capital while maintaining excellent vendor relationships.
Eliminate the endless cycle of manual invoice processing, check writing, and payment tracking. Our automation engine handles the entire payment lifecycle from invoice receipt through final payment confirmation, with intelligent routing that ensures every payment follows your established approval workflows.
The system automatically matches purchase orders, receiving documents, and vendor invoices. When all three align, payments move forward automatically. When discrepancies exist, the system flags them for review, preventing costly errors and duplicate payments.
Configure approval hierarchies that adapt based on payment amounts, vendor relationships, and project requirements. Rush approvals for critical materials, standard processing for routine supplies, and executive approval for major purchases—all handled automatically based on your business rules.
Whether your vendors prefer ACH transfers, wire payments, or traditional checks, the system handles all payment methods through a single interface. Vendor preferences are stored and automatically applied, eliminating the need to manually track how each supplier wants to be paid.
Master your cash flow with intelligent payment scheduling that balances vendor relationships with your working capital needs. The system analyzes your cash position, payment terms, and early payment discounts to create optimal payment calendars that maximize your financial position.
The platform considers multiple factors when scheduling payments: available cash balances, upcoming receivables, seasonal business patterns, and vendor payment terms. This creates a payment schedule that maintains positive vendor relationships while preserving cash for operational needs and growth opportunities.
Automatically identify and capture early payment discounts when they provide better returns than your current financing costs. The system calculates the annualized return on early payments and recommends which discounts to take based on your current cash position and cost of capital.

Maintain complete vendor profiles including contact information, payment preferences, tax documentation, insurance certificates, and performance history. The system automatically tracks when documents expire and sends renewal reminders, ensuring compliance requirements never lapse.
Track vendor performance metrics including on-time delivery, quality scores, pricing competitiveness, and payment compliance. Use this data to make informed decisions about vendor relationships, negotiate better terms, and identify opportunities for supply chain improvements.
Provide vendors with secure access to view invoice status, payment schedules, and tax documents. This reduces incoming calls to your accounting team while improving vendor satisfaction through transparency and communication.
Construction cash flow requires specialized management due to project-based revenue cycles and seasonal variations. Our optimization tools use predictive analytics to forecast cash needs, recommend payment timing, and identify opportunities to improve working capital efficiency.
The system analyzes historical patterns, current project schedules, and payment terms to create accurate cash flow forecasts. This enables proactive financial planning and helps identify potential cash crunches before they impact operations.
Intelligent algorithms recommend optimal payment timing based on your cash position, upcoming receivables, and vendor terms. Maximize early payment discounts when cash is abundant, and strategically time payments to preserve working capital during tight periods.
