Allows United Rentals to validate customer purchase orders, work orders, cost centers and other cost objects to ensure appropriate funding and correct accounting information. This validation all happens while placing the order. Ensuring order accuracy improves budget tracking and eliminates common billing issues.

United Rentals also accommodates automated invoicing. Options include EDI, cXML, JSON, spreadsheet and flat file.

Automated invoicing works with:

• Ariba
• Coupa
• AP
• Oracle
• Many other systems

Making the invoicing process touchless reduces errors, cuts costs and improves productivity, allowing for a streamlined billing process while enabling our customers to bill their customers faster.

Plugs into the customer’s procurement or ERP system, allowing customers to initiate and complete ordering from within their environment. The customer simply “punches out” to our catalog from within their system, chooses the items they wish to rent, and completes the transaction by issuing a purchase order.

This integration helps the customer drive process compliance, quickly locate and order needed equipment, correctly calculate the purchase order value and automate invoice transmission, thus improving cost tracking and billing accuracy.

API, which stands for Application Programming Interface, is software that enables two applications to interact, by reading, digesting and transferring details seamlessly. With a broad selection of APIs at our disposal, we help simplify our customer’s procure-to-pay life cycle process, allowing for ordering through the customer’s interface and providing better visibility and control over PO and bill pay management.

Back-end inefficiencies are often caused by the need to reconcile underfunded POs and overlooked, disputed or aging invoices. Improvements help drive efficiency gains, positively affect ability to manage costs, and reduce admin/office expenses.
