How Does Ottimate Work?

Eliminate 90% of
Paper Invoices

Only Ottimate goes a step further with Vendor Connections, a revolutionary way to get the equivalent of EDI invoices from vendors — even if they don’t offer it.

From the office to the aisles, Ottimate ensures you’re stocked up on savings, with intelligent insights into your invoices and inventory spending that help uncover cost-saving opportunities to boost your bottom line.

Sync with Leading Retail Software

Ottimate understands the unique needs of the grocery space — especially when it comes to your technology of choice. That’s why we integrate with popular retail software and ERPs, including:

  • LOC SMS
  • NCR Encor
  • NCR Advanced Back Office

Ottimate automatically tags each line item with the proper GL code, helping you review and approve invoices 80% faster.

Receiver workflows that match your needs

Automatically match supplier invoices with receivers from your SMS system, and easily identify variances in price and pack size — helping you make more informed financial decisions.

Support complex workflows with Advanced Approval Routing

Need to send invoices to third parties or central locations for approval? Create custom rules using any data field that appears on an invoice:

  • Vendor
  • Department
  • Location
  • GL Account
  • Min / Max Total
  • Method Received

“Our grocery clients are short-handed everywhere right now. They needed a way to receive, process, and pay invoices without the staff they used to have. Ottimate has been perfect. Invoices and approvals are digitized beautifully and we’ve been able to cut document storage almost completely.”
