Unleash the Power of Enterprise Liquidity Management with Oracle NetSuite and Kyriba
Why Choose Kyriba NetSuite API Integration
Bank requirements for unique or proprietary direct connections and bank- or regional-specific payment formats can extend the time needed to connect your ERP systems to your banking partners. The challenge becomes more complex with multi-bank connectivity and requires significant effort and expertise. Kyriba’s Connectivity-as-a-Service (CaaS) accelerates this process and relieves potential development and maintenance burdens on IT. With one API gateway, clients can connect via Kyriba to over 1,000 global banks, supported by an extensive format library of 50,000 pre-developed and pre-tested payment scenarios.
Kyriba uses NetSuite Web Services APIs to connect NetSuite ERP systems with Kyriba’s Enterprise Liquidity Management platform, enabling mutual clients to embed different workflows into their business processes. The Kyriba NetSuite API integration replaces the previous Kyriba NetSuite Bridge (NSB) solution and is a substantial improvement to further accelerate implementation and time to value. It offers many new features, including flexible batch jobs and customizable data exchange interfaces, which were not supported by the NSB. This integration also provides user-friendly, flexible scripts for NetSuite authorized users to update if needed.
