MineralTree

MineralTree (recently acquired by the massive fintech conglomerate Global Payments) is a highly robust AP automation platform specifically engineered for the "middle market" (companies with revenues roughly between $50M and $1B). These organizations often have financial workflows that are far too complex for basic small business tools (like QuickBooks or basic BILL), but lack the massive IT budgets required to implement monolithic enterprise systems like SAP Ariba or Coupa. MineralTree perfectly bridges this gap, providing enterprise-grade security and workflows with much faster implementation times. The platform provides a true end-to-end AP workflow. It begins with "Invoice-to-Pay" capabilities, utilizing advanced machine learning for highly accurate invoice data capture. It features deep, seamless integrations with mid-market ERP mainstays like NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics, and major healthcare/hospitality specific accounting systems. What makes MineralTree highly attractive to CFOs is its rigorous focus on fraud prevention and financial security. It features built-in dual-approval mechanisms, enforces strict segregation of duties (ensuring the person who approves the invoice is not the same person who releases the funds), and utilizes multi-factor authentication for all critical payment runs. MineralTree's massive competitive advantage stems from its integration with the Global Payments network. It strongly incentivizes organizations to shift away from expensive, slow paper checks and toward digital payments, particularly Virtual Cards. When a company pays a vendor via a MineralTree Virtual Card, the company actually earns a cash rebate on the transaction. For a mid-market company processing millions of dollars in AP, these virtual card rebates can frequently offset the entire cost of the MineralTree software, essentially turning the Accounts Payable department from a cost center into a revenue generator.
