JAGGAER has announced a partnership with virtual payments provider Conferma to embed virtual card payments directly into procurement workflows. The companies said the integration allows organisations to generate virtual cards within JAGGAER to pay vendors at the point of order, as well as issue cards to employees for purchases and travel.
The integration sits within JAGGAER Pay, part of the JAGGAER One platform, which is positioned as connecting procurement and payment in a single workflow. JAGGAER said the Conferma partnership marks JAGGAER Pay’s expansion into European markets, bringing embedded virtual card functionality to customers outside North America for the first time.
According to the companies, approved purchase orders can trigger the instant generation of secure virtual cards using existing corporate card programmes without leaving the JAGGAER platform. They said embedding virtual cards into purchase orders is intended to streamline payment and reconciliation, strengthen spend controls, and reduce reliance on manual invoicing steps for high-volume, lower-value and time-sensitive “long-tail” purchases.
“When procurement teams highlighted the need to close a critical gap in the procure-to-pay process, JAGGAER listened,” said Alastair McMullan, VP of Product Management at JAGGAER. “By enabling virtual card payments at the point of order, organizations gain greater control and efficiency across purchasing and payments, while continuing to leverage their existing banking relationships.”
“Supplier payments are one of the last major friction points in the procure-to-pay process,” said Mark Ledsham, CEO at Conferma. “By embedding virtual cards directly into approved purchase orders, we’re enabling organizations to pay suppliers faster, with greater visibility and control. Our partnership with JAGGAER reflects a broader shift toward embedded, supplier-centric payments that truly connect procurement and finance.”
JAGGAER said the capability is available globally and designed for streamlined activation. The companies highlighted intended benefits including faster supplier payments through PO-linked virtual cards, tokenised card credentials, linking PO and transaction data for visibility, and the potential to increase rebates by routing eligible spend through corporate card programmes.
