Magellan Midstream Partners relies on Harbor Payments to provide accounts payable and payroll payments processing
Atlanta, GA, November 27, 2006 – Harbor Payments, the leading provider of next-generation electronic billing, invoicing and payments management solutions, announced today that Tulsa-based Magellan Midstream Partners L.P. (NYSE: MMP) has outsourced its accounts payable and payroll payments processing to Harbor Payments, leveraging the company’s flagship solution Payment Harbor™. A web-based payment processing platform, Payment Harbor™ enables centralized management of all disbursement activities, including all payment types and systems, both domestically and internationally, through the entire payment lifecycle – from origination to funding and settlement. Primarily in the business of managing the transportation, storage and distribution of refined petroleum products, Magellan recognized that payments processing was not a core competency and that it could more efficiently and cost-effectively outsource the processing of the more than 4,000 checks the company currently issues every month. In addition to providing Magellan with standard “push” print models, Payment Harbor also supports an “on-demand” print model for exception checks, escrow payments and other special payments that formats and routes payment data files to internal or external printers, as well as ACH and wire services banking partners. Payment Harbor reduces the cost of third-party payments, eliminates the cost of distributing checks to multiple locations and accelerates accounting processes. Providing sophisticated controls for the entire payment system lifecycle, the solution addresses both PO and non-PO spend, provides comprehensive security, reduces check fraud and it can be implemented quickly, with minimal impact on the organization’s IT resources.
