Simplifying AP for Multi-Entity Companies with Mekorma Payment Hub

If you manage payments across multiple companies, checkbooks, and bank accounts, you know that things can get complicated fast. Beyond making sure all invoices are approved and processed quickly, it’s vital that payments come from the right entity and reach the correct vendor on time. It’s not easy. 

But what if you could centralize and automate processes for all companies you manage, while maintaining full control and visibility? 

With Mekorma Payment Hub for Shared Services – Multi-Entity, we bring everything into one place, making your job of managing payments across multiple companies easier and more secure. For finance leaders, the Payment Hub gives you increased visibility, compliance, and scalability. 

Customer Story: Rio Marine Cuts Payment Cycle by 75% 

Rio Marine, a growing shipping company with multiple subsidiaries, faced this challenge: managing accounts payable across entities was slowing them down. Every payment cycle required hours of manual effort, logging into separate company databases, building batches, and printing checks. 

By implementing Mekorma Payment Hub with Shared Services, Rio Marine transformed its AP process. What once took six to eight hours now takes less than two. That’s a 75% reduction in processing time, freeing the finance team to focus on oversight and cash strategy instead of clerical work. You can read more about Rio Marine’s success story here. 

Bringing It All Together for Multi-Entity AP 

For multi-entity organizations, the complexity of AP won’t go away, but it can be simplified with the right tools. Mekorma Payment Hub centralizes processes across subsidiaries, enforces compliance consistently, and scales as your business grows. So, you can gain time back for strategic cash planning, while your AP team gets relief from manual bottlenecks or duplicated work. 

How Mekorma Payment Hub Simplifies Multi-Entity AP 

Multi-Entity AP doesn’t have to mean duplicate effort or disconnected systems. Mekorma Payment Hub brings everything into one streamlined system, fully embedded directly within Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central or GP.  

1. Centralized Dashboard for Multi-Company Batches & Approvals: When it comes to simplifying your process, the Action Board is where the magic happens. AP teams can build and approve payment batches across all subsidiaries at once, from one unified dashboard. Secure, role-based approval pathways keep everything under control, so leaders can enforce consistent rules and scale without adding headcount.  

2. Automated Compliance Checks: Also included in Payment Hub,  Mekorma Vendor Validation reduces risk and strengthens compliance oversight by automatically checking vendor records against address, IRS and OFAC databases. Easily automate vendor compliance checks during onboarding, and even schedule regular compliance checks to catch any new flags related to address or OFAC sanction changes before payment is sent. Instead of relying on manual oversight, every entity follows the same standard. For finance leaders, this means extra confidence and peace of mind that your organization is protected from risk, while also freeing your AP team from repetitive tasks.  

3. Embedded ERP Efficiency: Because Mekorma Payment Hub is built right into Business Central and GP, AP staff never need to juggle outside platforms or multiple logins. Data, workflows, and payments all stay within one system, ensuring accuracy, security, and easier adoption without retraining. Embedded AP Automation protects your system of record and reduces risk tied to integrations that might break under pressure.  

4. Compatible with Binary Stream Multi-Entity Management: If you're using Binary Stream MEM, Payment Hub ensures that entity IDs carry through on remittances and reports, preserving accuracy and simplifying oversight. As a finance leader, you get cleaner audits and a clear view of cash flow across subsidiaries, insights that are critical for strategic forecasting and decision-making. 

5. Secure Payments in the Cloud: After approvals are complete, an optional add-on, Remote Payment Services (RPS), allows your team to offload vendor enrollment to trusted outsourced providers while expanding your payment options to include digital checks, ACH and virtual credit card payments, all managed securely in the cloud. RPS supports stronger supplier relationships and improved vendor trust, faster time to pay, and a chance to earn cash back from rebates, without adding new tasks to your already-stretched AP team. 

For multi-entity finance leaders, Mekorma Payment Hub brings order to complexity. Instead of scattered processes and siloed checkbooks, you gain centralized visibility across every subsidiary, consistent controls that satisfy auditors, and payment execution that scales as you grow. The result is more time to focus on strategic cash management and planning, rather than firefighting across entities.
