Stop Drowning in Invoices: We’re Partnering with Apron to Simplify Your Payments

Do you ever feel like the entire process of paying bills - from logging into the bank to finding the right invoice - takes longer than it should? We hear you.

At Inform, we’re committed to moving you past tedious admin so you can focus on growing your business. That’s why we’re excited to announce our partnership with Apron, the modern payments app designed to make accounts payable effortless.

This isn't just a new piece of software; it's a fundamental upgrade to how your business handles invoices and payments.

What does Apron do for You?

Apron works seamlessly behind the scenes, integrating directly with your cloud accounting software (like Xero or QuickBooks) to turn your entire payment process into a few simple clicks.

1. Goodbye to Bank Uploads and Logins

You no longer need to log into your bank, manually input supplier details, or verify every single transfer.

• We Prepare, You Approve: We handle the grunt work of processing invoices, calculating VAT, and preparing the payments list inside Apron.

• One-Click Approval: You receive one simple notification from Apron. You review the list of payments and approve them all with a single click. Apron then executes the payments directly from your bank account.

2. Full Visibility and Control

With Apron, you have complete control and transparency over every penny leaving your business.

• Every Invoice Attached: Before approving, you can see the original invoice attached to every single payment request. No more guessing what the payment is for!

• Audit Trail Perfection: The payment data and the approved status are automatically synced back to your accounting software. This creates a bulletproof, real-time audit trail for us and for HMRC.

• Smooth out approvals: Set up roles and workflows to improve communication and keep payments moving. 

3. Faster and Happier Suppliers

Late payments kill relationships. Apron ensures your payments go out faster and more reliably.

• No More Manual Errors: Payments are sent digitally, eliminating manual entry errors that lead to failed payments or calls from frustrated suppliers.

• Better Cash Flow Management: Since approvals are fast and easy, you can schedule payments precisely when they are due, improving your cash flow efficiency.
