SMRTR Inc., a provider of document management and accounts payable (AP) automation solutions, and VAI, a top ERP software developer, have announced a strategic partnership to enable smooth integration between VAI's S2K Food ERP software and SMRTR's advanced Document Management & AP Automation tools. This collaboration is designed to transform document process management for food distributors and manufacturers by significantly reducing manual data entry and error, accelerating invoice processing and approvals, and improving accounts payable and document workflow visibility. With integration, finance and operations staff will become more efficient by automating fundamental business processes that have traditionally relied on paper-based processes.

By partnering with SMRTR, we’re enabling our S2K Food ERP customers to automate document management and AP processes end to end. This integration will save time, reduce errors, and provide greater transparency into their operations.” SMRTR’s platform provides robust automation capabilities for capturing, routing, and approving invoices and documents. The direct integration with VAI’s industry-specific ERP system enables businesses to eliminate paper-based workflows, streamline audits, and accelerate payment cycles—helping organizations modernize their operations and improve overall efficiency.

Susanne Moore, SMRTR, Inc. CEO, said, "It has always been our mission to make AP and document workflows smarter and more efficient. This partnership enables food industry leaders to realize new levels of productivity through the integration of our automation tools seamlessly into the S2K Food ERP experience."
