Taulia Inc. and TELUS Announce Strategic Partnership
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Taulia, the market-leading SaaS platform for dynamic discounting, announced today it has entered into a strategic relationship with TELUS, a telecommunications leader headquartered in Canada. Through this alliance, TELUS will implement Taulia internally, as well as invest in and resell the solution in the Canadian market.
“Taulia has experienced phenomenal success over the past year, building a global customer base and becoming the industry’s fastest growing buyer network,” said Bertram Meyer, Taulia CEO. “This strategic investment from TELUS will allow Taulia to further capitalize on this rapid growth and significantly expand our business to the Canadian market through a market-leading organization. TELUS’ commitment to use Taulia for their own invoicing and payment processes, as well as their desire to resell the product into the Canadian market, speaks to the confidence they have in this partnership.”
Established in 2009, Taulia has developed a web-based Dynamic Discounting solution that is easy to install and maintain and streamlines the payable process, while saving organizations millions of dollars annually.
“TELUS is pleased to enter this new partnership with Taulia and with the power of the go-to-market alliance we are creating,” said Mathew George, vice-president of TELUS Ventures. “We are always seeking investment opportunities with companies that have both a strong earning potential and a focus within our areas of growth. The Taulia platform solution allows for simplified invoicing, discount capture and is highly scalable to TELUS and to our partners.”
Later this year, TELUS team will begin using the solution to manage their supplier payment process and the TELUS sales team will offer it to TELUS customers through TELUS Financial Services.
“The marketplace demand for a dynamic discounting solution, combined with its successful track record, make Taulia a high-value offer to our client base in Financial Services, Health and other verticals,” said Keith Nugara, vice-president of TELUS Financial Services Market. “This platform is a natural extension of our suite of payment products and services, allowing us to extend our relationship into the client’s accounts payable and receivable services.”
