November 2018 sees the launch of a new automated process called the CPRAS/AIA 'Optimiser,' a cloud-based process that facilitates rapid cross-market analysis of merchant accounts and generates comprehensive savings reports. These reports are co-branded with AIA and member’s details and will highlight the savings that can be made. 

Andrew Flavell, CPRAS Director of Partnerships said: "Partnering with AIA is a very significant step for us. With the arrival of our Optimiser process, AIA members will be able to receive cost saving reports highlighting where savings can be achieved. This is an opportunity to save AIA clients (dependant on size) up to tens of thousands of pounds.
