  • Identify and eliminate duplicate payments using six of the most common algorithms
  • Complete analysis of all tax transactions processed through AP to ensure tax has been accurately reclaimed.
  • Validate contract compliance including pricing, rebates and other measurables as agreed in the signed contract, against actual invoices/credits issued by the supplier.
  • Provide a statement review, which is essential to ensure all unallocated cash, credit notes or overpayments are captured and the full benefit received.
Is there a limit on the volume of data that I can upload to rapidintel.com?
The data limit for RA.Pid® users is 100 MB. This means you could upload as many completed data templates (as many times as you want) up to this limit into the rapidintel.com platform.
What if I want to upload more than 100 MB?
Organizations’ wishing to upload more than 100 MB will need to migrate to RA.Pid® Enterprise, our end-to-end spend analysis solution that supports organizations with more complex data requirements. Pricing is available on request.
Who owns the data? For example, does Rosslyn Analytics own it and could you in turn use it for benchmarking with other clients?
Rosslyn Analytics does not own the data. However, in the terms and conditions of the contract, we request that the data is used in the strictest confidence, and anonymously, for benchmarking purposes.
How secure is my data?
Security of your data is paramount, from the moment you register through to when you access your spend intelligence via the rapidintel.com platform. To this end, our software solution is developed to utilise multiple levels of encryption whilst handling your valuable data. Currently, these consist of the following:
  • Level 1 - Application Encryption. Application data is encrypted at source prior to sending requests to our secure servers.
  • Level 2 - SSL Secure Socket Layer through HTTPS. Applications use 128bit SSL encrypted connections to our secure servers.
  • Level 3 - SQL Server SSL Encryption. SQL Server SSL encryption is enabled to further encrypt data transfer between servers and applications.
