Sound familiar?

Where supplier payments go wrong.

Paying suppliers sounds simple until a bill is paid twice, a delivery was short, or a supplier calls asking where their money is.

  • “The same invoice gets paid twice.”

    Duplicates caught before approvalEvery bill is checked against bills already recorded and the PO it came from.
  • “We paid for things that never arrived.”

    Paid only for what was receivedBills are matched to the PO and the delivery, line by line, before they can be approved.
  • “Suppliers call asking where their money is.”

    Payment runs on a scheduleApproved bills go into a supplier run on the day you choose, and every supplier gets a receipt.
  • “Rent and utilities slip through without approval.”

    Recurring bills, still approvedBills without a PO are allowed, but still checked against a budget and approved by their owner.
  • “We can't tell what we owe each supplier.”

    Supplier balances that are rightBills, payments, and credit notes on one statement per supplier, with ageing.

How Bizflow pays suppliers

Match, approve, pay, settle.

From the supplier's invoice to the money landing, with a check at every step.

Match every bill before it is approved

Bills are checked against the PO, what was delivered, the price agreed, and the supplier's eTIMS invoice.

  • Not billed before
  • Matches the PO and delivery
  • eTIMS invoice found on KRA
See bills

Handle rent and utilities too

Bills without a PO, like rent and electricity, go straight to a bill, still checked against the budget and approved by their owner.

  • Repeating bills
  • Budget checked
  • Approved by the budget owner
See bills

Pay in one run

Approved bills are paid from the Bizflow Wallet or bank, to the supplier's M-PESA, till, paybill, or account, with a receipt for each.

  • One approval for the run
  • M-PESA, till, paybill, or bank
  • Money reserved once approved
See the Wallet

Settle credits and returns

Returned goods and price corrections become supplier credit notes, applied to the next bill so balances stay right.

  • Credit notes from returns
  • Applied to open bills
  • Statement per supplier

Frequently asked questions

Do bills have to come from a PO?

No. Bills from POs are matched to the order and delivery. Rent, utilities, and services can go straight to a bill, still checked against a budget and approved.

How do you catch duplicate bills?

Every new bill is checked against bills already recorded for that supplier and PO before it can be approved.

How are suppliers paid?

From the Bizflow Wallet or your bank, to the supplier's M-PESA, till, paybill, or bank account, one by one or in a run, with a receipt for each.

Can we handle supplier credit notes?

Yes. Returns and price corrections become credit notes against the supplier and are applied to their next bills.

Does it handle eTIMS?

Yes. Bizflow is a KRA-certified eTIMS integrator. Invoices are signed when they are sent, supplier invoices issued to your KRA PIN come into Bizflow, and you can raise buyer-initiated invoices for suppliers who can't issue their own.

Does it work with our accounting system?

Yes. Bizflow syncs expenses, petty cash, bills, invoices, and customer payments to QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, and brings your chart of accounts, tax rates, suppliers, and customers across. Or keep the whole ledger in Bizflow, with journals, bank reconciliation, trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow.
