Yes. Beyond accounts payable, Viridem delivers administrative task automation for distributors and wholesalers across Canada: it captures, classifies and routes supplier documents, purchase orders and delivery notes, so your team spends less time on paperwork and more on operations.

Viridem is a Canadian-owned proprietary software purpose-built for multi-vendor, multi-warehouse distributors since 2013. Native EDI integration, high-volume support (10,000 to 50,000 invoices per year), automatic duplicate-vendor detection, Canadian hosting under Canadian privacy law + Ontario PIPEDA.

Yes. Viridem performs three-way matching between the purchase order, the goods receipt (GRN) and the supplier invoice, and captures freight, brokerage and landed-cost invoices so the true cost of goods is allocated correctly. Price and quantity variances are flagged before payment, protecting the thin margins distributors and wholesalers operate on.

Viridem centralizes accounts payable across hundreds or thousands of vendors, keeps every supplier statement reconciled, and attaches rebate, chargeback and credit-note documents to the right invoice file. Your team keeps a clean, audit-ready trail and never loses a credit owed by a supplier.

Viridem connects your procure-to-pay flow to your distribution ERP and posts approved invoices in real time across multiple warehouses and sites. Purchase orders, receipts, inventory value and vendor balances stay synchronized, so buyers and controllers always see accurate cost of goods and cash position.

Yes. Viridem processes high volumes of supplier invoices, matches receipts to purchase orders and negotiated prices, handles discrepancies and feeds your distribution ERP. Your teams process more invoices without hiring, with a full audit trail.

Viridem natively handles EDI 810 (invoice), 850 (purchase order), 856 (ASN). Bidirectional sync with distribution ERPs (Orchestra, Maximum, Acomba Distribution, Sage 300, SAP, NetSuite). 10,000 to 50,000 annual invoices flow through with no human entry.

Viridem's detection engine cross-checks every incoming invoice against vendor history, open POs and in-flight payments. 0.3% to 0.8% of paid volume is typically intercepted as duplicates in the first 12 months, fully covering the Foundation plan cost on a single year.

Yes. Viridem is natively multi-warehouse and multi-company, with authorisations by site, vendor and purchase category. Real-time ERP sync per site. Compliant with Quebec (QST), Ontario (HST) and U.S. state sales-tax filings.

With payment cycle reduced from 17 days to 3 days (Ardent Partners 2026 best-in-class benchmark), Viridem captures 78% of early-payment discounts. For a typical distributor, that's 0.8% to 1.2% of annual vendor spend converted directly into margin.

Viridem deployment typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on your ERP complexity and document volume. Phase 1 (weeks 1-2): flow analysis, workflow configuration, OCR + AI calibration on your supplier formats. Phase 2 (weeks 3-4): ERP integration, Viridem Academy training included, user testing. Phase 3 (weeks 5-6): production rollout, personalized support. Our Victoriaville team stays reachable for evolutions.

Yes, fully. Viridem has been designed in Canada since 2013, owns its code, operates under exclusive Canadian jurisdiction. Modernised Canadian privacy law and PIPEDA compliance, AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, granular access control, timestamped audit log. Per the 2025 Upper Harbour study, 82% of SaaS tools used in Canada rely on foreign providers. A Canadian publisher since 2013, Viridem puts the protection of your data at the heart of its approach, in the spirit of Canadian privacy standards, and never sells or exploits it for commercial purposes.

Viridem stands out first through its OCR + AI technology: where many tools stop at OCR, Viridem combines optical recognition with artificial intelligence to reach 99% accuracy on structured invoices. Second strength: workflows preconfigured by industry AND by role (construction, distribution, manufacturing, finance, HR), a depth of specialization that is unique on the market. Third: your data is handled with the greatest care, aligned with Canadian privacy standards and never sold or exploited for commercial purposes. Against global players such as Tipalti, Quadient, Stampli or Bill.com, Viridem guarantees data protection and English support from Victoriaville; against other vendors, it stands apart through the precision of its OCR + AI engine, ERP connectors built in-house and reliability proven since 2013, paired with deep expertise by trade and sector (construction, manufacturing, distribution, forestry, finance) and an investment that delivers lasting savings, with ROI typically reached in 3 to 12 months. And as ERPs begin adding accounts payable and administrative-task automation modules, Viridem keeps an edge: a specialized, multi-ERP OCR + AI engine that enriches your accounting system instead of replacing it. And because we own our software, Viridem is scalable and grows with your business.

Classic OCR (optical character recognition) reads printed characters on an image but struggles with non-standardized invoices, handwriting and complex layouts. Viridem's OCR + AI combines OCR robustness (for 80% of standard documents) with a pre-trained language model, peer-reviewed, that understands context, field relationships and semantics. Result: 99% accuracy on structured invoices, with auto-detection of cases requiring human validation. See our scientific references.

Viridem automatically identifies invoices outside the standard flow: amounts out of tolerance, unknown supplier, missing PO, tax errors, potential duplicates. Each exception is routed to the right approver with full context (supplier history, comparison with previous invoices, correction suggestions). Your clerk handles only the 5-15% of exceptions instead of 100% of invoices. Per Ardent Partners 2026, best-in-class teams process an invoice in 3.1 days on average thanks to this intelligent filtering.

No. Beyond the 30+ native connectors (Acomba, Avantage, Fidelio, Genius, Maestro, Maximum, Orchestra, Prextra, Sage, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks), our team builds custom connectors in 2 to 4 weeks, integrated into your standard deployment. Since 2013 we've connected Viridem to every ERP encountered across the Canadian markets: Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, Procore, Vision Construction, Intéral, Houston Solutions and several vertical-specific solutions. The cost is bundled in the project, not charged as an option.

Viridem extracts on average 30 to 50 fields per invoice: header (supplier, invoice no., issue/due dates, currency), amounts (subtotal, GST, QST, HST, total), line items (description, quantity, unit price, line total), references (PO no., project no., cost centre, product code), payment terms and discounts, banking details, signatures and stamps. Every field is validated against your ERP and your supplier history. On handwritten forms (field inspections, receiving sheets), the hybrid AI also extracts ticked boxes, signatures and annotations.

To reduce supplier invoice processing time in a Canadian SMB, accounts payable automation is the most effective path. Per Ardent Partners 2026, best-in-class teams process an invoice in 3.1 days on average (vs 17.4 days for the rest). Three technical levers: (1) OCR + AI capture to eliminate manual entry (down from 8-12 min to under 30 seconds per invoice), (2) visual mobile approval workflows with automatic escalation, (3) PO ↔ invoice ↔ receipt three-way matching auto-validated for 90% of cases. With Viridem, Canadian SMBs typically achieve a 60% reduction in processing time within the first 90 days (Groupe Bellemare testimonial on 15,000 yearly invoices).

Intelligent administrative document digitization goes beyond simple PDF scanning: it combines OCR (optical character recognition), artificial intelligence (contextual understanding of non-standardized layouts), automatic classification by document type, full-text indexing and orchestrated approval workflows. Concretely, your supplier invoices, purchase orders, contracts, delivery notes, receiving slips, OHS forms, employee records are captured, validated against your existing systems (ERP, payroll, HRIS), and archived with a timestamped audit trail compliant with Canadian privacy law. Viridem has delivered this intelligence layer since 2013, with 99% accuracy on standardized formats, letting your admin team retrieve any document in under 5 seconds.

Against foreign platforms (Tipalti, Stampli, Medius), Viridem is built for Canadian distribution: multi-supplier matching, delivery slips, integration with distribution ERPs (Orchestra, Guide TI), Canadian tax handling and Canadian hosting (Canadian privacy law).
