Payapps has agreed a strategic integration with Access Construction that connects its cloud-based applications for payment platform with the Access Coins ERP system. The move is pitched at main contractors and subcontractors using Coins, standardising payment applications and automating the flow of payment notice data into the ERP to generate certificates ready for approval.
The partners say the integration is aimed at removing double-keying between commercial and finance teams, cutting admin time and reducing the risk of disputes. In a market where margins are tight and working capital is under pressure, the ability to track submitted, certified and paid applications in real time is expected to support tighter cashflow forecasting and more predictable payment cycles.
For Access Construction, the tie-up extends the reach of its Coins platform, which already provides cost, budget and cashflow visibility across projects in the UK, US and Australia. For Payapps, it embeds its specialist payment workflow tool more deeply into contractors’ core financial systems at a time when UK clients and regulators are pushing for better payment practices and compliance with construction contracts.
The integration is being promoted as a standard, repeatable connection rather than a bespoke build, which should lower implementation risk and cost for existing Coins customers. With Access Coins recently recognised as Product of the Year and ERP of the Year at the Construction Computing Awards, the partnership underlines the growing convergence between ERP and niche SaaS tools as contractors look to digitise commercial processes end-to-end.
