Follow the outcome

Connect payment progress to supplier receipt and reconciliation.

The missing connection

A business payment is
more than a transfer.

A business can have a supplier, an invoice and funds available, yet still face uncertainty about access to foreign currency, the final cost and when its supplier will be paid. Documents, decisions and updates sit across banks, email and spreadsheets.

01 / DOCUMENTATION

Documents in different places.

Invoices in email. Contracts in shared folders. Supporting documents on WhatsApp. No single view of what is complete.

02 / COST AND TIMING

Uncertainty before payment.

A rate is only part of the decision. Currency availability, fees, quote validity and outstanding requirements all affect when a payment can proceed.

03 / VISIBILITY

Limited visibility after submission.

Knowing a payment was submitted does not tell you whether the supplier was credited or the invoice reconciled.

How Kubikila works

A clear next step.
From invoice to reconciliation.

Start with the invoice. Bring together the documents, assign the decisions and follow each stage through to supplier receipt and reconciliation.

The trade payment case

One transaction.
One case. One status.

Each international purchase has one case: the supplier, invoice, documents, quote, decisions and payment status. Explore the working prototype to prepare a case, review its cost, approve it and follow simulated settlement through to a complete transaction file.

The documents, together.

Keep the invoice, contract and supporting records with the operation they belong to.

The responsibility, clear.

See what is missing, who needs to act and which decision is required.

The outcome, recorded.

Bring the supplier confirmation, invoice match and complete history into one dossier.

Compliance in context

Know what has been reviewed.
See what is still needed.

Keep verification records and supporting documents with the payment. Record who reviewed them, what was decided and what needs attention.

  • Buyer and supplier verification records
  • Source-of-funds evidence and review
  • AML, sanctions and risk review status
  • Decision history, timestamps and responsibilities
Case review / prototype

Check the requirements before the next step.

Each stage has requirements. A missing document or unresolved review keeps the next step on hold.
