The second half of the year is well and truly underway. The energy across the ProSpend partner network is at an all-time high. This month we have some exciting product updates, new faces joining the team and a jam packed events calendar to look forward to.
NEW FEATURE
Introducing OCR Assist
OCR Assist lets your finance team review, correct, and train on extracted invoice data directly in ProSpend, with no delay.
It's built for complex invoices. Take a construction client: a single invoice might include an order date, an invoice date and a delivery date, none of them cleanly labelled. OCR Assist lets the client's finance team pick the right one, and every correction trains the system to get it right next time.
Big news for our Sybiz partners. We have teamed up with Alphabiz to build a tighter integration between ProSpend and Sybiz. Invoice and expense data now flows directly from ProSpend into Sybiz with no flat files to export, no manual uploads and no double handling. It is a faster, cleaner way to keep finance data in sync, saving your team time and cutting out a common source of errors. The result is a smoother end-to-end experience for every organisation running ProSpend alongside Sybiz.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Pronto Summit | MYOB User Group | Future of Finance
The events calendar for September is genuinely one of the strongest we have had. We will be at a number of events, and we would love to see as many of you there as possible.
Next month we're running Partner Appreciation Week, our chance to stop and properly celebrate the partners who've made a real difference to ProSpend and to the customers we serve.
From the week of 19 October, we'll announce six awards across categories. Each one recognises partners who've stood out, delivered results and set the standard for the rest of the network.
The six categories:
Partner of the Year Our highest honour for the partner who embodies what a true ProSpend partnership looks like across every measure.
ERP Partner of the Year For the ERP vendor and ProSpend partner who's gone above and beyond bringing ProSpend to their customers and resellers, and delivered outstanding outcomes doing it.
Growth Partner of the Year For the partner who's driven exceptional momentum, expanded their ProSpend footprint and brought real energy to the network.
Impact Partner of the Year For the partner whose work has had the most meaningful impact on customer outcomes and on the wider community.
Excellence Partner of the Year For consistent, reliable, exceptional delivery. The partner who shows up every time and sets the benchmark.
Innovation Partner of the Year For the partner who's pushed boundaries, thought differently and found new ways to bring ProSpend's value to market.
We're genuinely excited about this one. Keep an eye out! Announcements start next month.
