JPD Financial
Website: www.jpdfinancial.org

A Business Fact: All major corporations are unknowingly losing money that rightfully belongs to them.

JPD Financial specializes in “Vendor Credit Recovery” which maximizes our clients’ profitability by finding and recovering aged open credits from their vendors. The credits JPD identifies that have been withheld by our clients’ vendors---either mistakenly or intentionally---are at least six months old and do not appear in clients’ own systems or records. JPD’s trained specialists address that issue for you by contacting your vendors to recover your funds and bring them directly back to your bottom line, where they rightfully belong. JPD Financial’s service is completely contingency based---if we don’t find money for you, we don’t get paid. What JPD Financial does is NOT a traditional AP recovery audit, and does not conflict with any other type of internal or external audit. JPD’s clients represent a broad spectrum of Fortune 500 companies and the money recovered for a typical client consistently ranges between $500K and $1 million per billion in spend (payables) per year.

Lavante performs strategic profit recovery and vendor file management services for companies throughout the Fortune 1000.

By comparing vendor AR and customer AP records, we uncover unreconciled credits and recover cash.

All claims are vendor-verified and include supporting documents electronically. Vendor information is analyzed to determine duplicate, related, and merged vendors, and used to cleanse master vendor files, a key to ensuring transactional excellence.

Lavante’s SaaS-based system tracks, manages, and provides visibility to all data and vendor compliance in real time. Our reporting suite details all results with up-to-the-minute data. Customers use Lavante’s online portal to manage their recoveries, and vendors use it as a self-service on-boarding and information management tool.

Since Lavante primarily targets vendors, our approach can work alongside traditional AP auditing. A highly automated process, it requires very little client support time. Meet Lavante at the IQPC 2010 Shared Services Exchange to see a live, real-time demo of our application. Learn what this unique system can do for your bottom line.
