Fortune 500 Truck and Engine Company's One Million Annual Invoices

Go Online with Emergis(R) Einvoicing

BCE Emergis' (TSX:IFM) Emergis(R) e-Invoicing will be fuelling the automation of operations for Navistar International Corporation's (NYSE:NAV) International Finance Group (International Finance) in the United States. Under the three-year agreement, Emergis e-Invoicing will make International Finance's one million annual invoices available online, for a serviced portfolio totalling approximately four billion dollars US, to replace the current manual paper-based treatment of their accounts receivable. With Emergis e-Invoicing for Receivables, International(R) dealers and retail customers will be able to pre-schedule payments online to better manage their trade credit and benefit from electronic routing of workflow documents. International Finance will also be using the BCE Emergis customizable Fast Lane adoption program to drive enrolment and ongoing usage of the application by trading partners.

"We are delighted that International Finance has selected BCE Emergis to work in conjunction with JPMorgan to automate the core of their accounts receivable operations," said Alan Neely, president of BCE Emergis ePayments Solutions. "Our channel partner relationship with JPMorgan continues to open doors to exciting opportunities like International Finance, which we are well positioned to pursue."

Built on a scalable, reliable Java/Unix platform, the BCE Emergis transaction-based solution is easy to deploy and does not require large-scale upfront investments in IT equipment or infrastructure. The collaborative tool allows trading partners to review, dispute, and approve invoices down to the line item level using a multi-step approval process and pay those invoices electronically. The BCE Emergis Fast Lane adoption program offers e-Invoicing customers customized tools designed to increase enrolment and usage through such tactics as a ready-to-post web site, self-paced demo, web-based eLearning tool and other promotion, loyalty and measuring tools.

A dependable financing source to businesses involved in transportation since 1949, International Finance is the financing arm of International Truck and Engine Corporation - a wholly owned subsidiary of Navistar- and a leading producer of mid-range diesel engines, trucks and parts and service sold under the International(R) brand. International products, parts and services are sold through a network of nearly 1,000 dealer outlets in the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Mexico and more than 60 dealers in 90 other countries throughout the world. The company currently processes all invoices, many payments and dispute resolutions manually.

"Being a financing company of our scale and scope, International Finance's operations required a strong technology partner whose solution would recognize and deal with the complexities of our business and our broad distribution network," said International Finance's chief information officer, Vaun Kampschroeder, "Emergis e-Invoicing provides us with a 360 degree view of customer payment processing that will significantly enhance our internal workflow and dispute resolution processes and allow us to better serve our customers."

As a result of joint sales initiatives with distribution partner JPMorgan and other major banks in the U.S., a growing number of Fortune 500 businesses are choosing BCE Emergis' eInvoicing solutions.

"This agreement with International Finance clearly demonstrates that the value of Emergis e-Invoicing spans across industries and goes beyond geographic borders," affirmed Neely, "Our ability to meet the requirements of an industry leader like Navistar speaks to the flexibility and comprehensiveness of our solution."
