Premier SmartPO® + Yardi Interface

Premier SmartPO® + Yardi Interface: A Fully Connected Ecosystem for AP, Budgeting & Clinical Workflows

Premier SmartPO® has officially completed a direct application programming interface (API) integration with Yardi, one of the most widely used accounts payable (AP) and electronic health record (EHR) platforms across the senior living and long-term care industry.

This new connection eliminates manual work, improves data accuracy and creates a unified workflow experience for members who rely on both systems.

Before the Integration: Manual Workarounds and Workflow Gaps

For organizations using both Yardi and Premier SmartPO, critical financial and clinical data had to be moved by hand:

Teams manually exported and imported files between systems to manage AP, EHR and budget workflows.
Purchasing, accounting and clinical functions were often misaligned because data didn't update in real time.
These manual steps introduced delays, inconsistencies and a higher risk of error.

The result: cumbersome processes that slowed down decision-making and created unnecessary administrative burden.

Now Live: A Bi-Directional, Real-Time Data Connection

With the new API integration, SmartPO and Yardi now operate as a single, connected ecosystem. Key data flows automatically in both directions, including:

From Yardi to Premier SmartPO

Vendor master data
General ledger (GL) coding
Budget details
Patient and clinical information (via Yardi EHR)

This ensures purchasing workflows, financial reporting and clinical charge capture are always aligned.

Duplicate entry is eliminated — AP teams now work with real-time, synchronized information across both platforms.

Together, this creates a seamless end-to-end connection across AP, budgeting, purchasing and patient care workflows.
