Payment Verification (Pre)
The Pre-Payment Verification System has been developed to inhibit duplicate payments based on Profectus' extensive knowledge of the causes, patterns and processes that drive these erroneous transactions.
Solution Overview:
This solution imports pending Accounts Payable payments and compares them to historical payments using proprietary algorithms to identify duplicate payments - before they are processed. The Pre-Payment Verification System is a web-based solution that complements your organisation's accounts payable cycles and business rules.
Solution Benefits:
The benefits of using the Pre-Payment Verification System to identify potential duplicate payments include:
- Improved cashflow, as errors are identified prior to the duplicate payment being made
- Reduced re-work for internal teams
- Potential duplicate payments are identified for internal teams to investigate
- A cost-effective SaaS model which removes the need for clients to invest in licensing, hardware and resources to support the Pre-Payment Verification System

Pre-Payment Verification Process
The solution prevents duplicate payments with the following steps:
- Extracts all pending transactions in the Accounts Payable system
- Compares these potential payments to historical payments
- Suspected duplicate payments are ranked according to their likelihood
- Reports detailing suspected duplicate payments are produced for users to accept or override each finding
- Duplicate payments are removed before proceeding with the payment run.
