Tipalti, which makes accounts payable automation software, has entered into three strategic partnerships with Colu, Fusion Partners and Queue Associates to provide broader services to growing companies.

As businesses struggle with the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic, technology providers are responding with more comprehensive offerings to simplify their operations.

Colu is a civic engagement platform designed to help foster real-life communities online. Colu partners with municipalities to create custom apps that encourage residents to shop locally. Municipalities can reward residents via the app for taking actions that promote strategic goals for the good of the community.

Tipalti’s payments engine is now embedded into Colu’s platform so users can pay local shops directly through the app.

Fusion Partners helps Israeli startups with their financial needs with a focus on institutional investments, investment development and operational innovation. The Fusion Partners team specializes in pairing emerging and early growth businesses and startups that have proprietary products, such as Tipalti, with clients that are looking to build additional revenue streams or improve existing practices. The idea is for Fusion Partner’s expansive network of Israeli and Cypriote entrepreneurs and investors to help foster a new community of businesses that use Tipalti to manage their global payables challenges.

Queue Associates provides a full range of consulting services to the Microsoft Dynamics community including pre-implementation consulting, installation, customization, and ongoing technical support to their clients. The partnership between Queue and Tipalti is hoped to help Microsoft clients better streamline their financial operations and improve overall payables productivity.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with innovative organizations like Colu, Fusion Partners, and Queue Associates to tackle payables challenges, and we are eager to work together to further modernize financial operations through the implementation of seamless, automated payables processes to eliminate payables workload, reduce risk, and enhance productivity” said Chen Amit, CEO and co-founder of Tipalti, in a statement.
