Accounts payable automation offers a wide range of benefits for small and large businesses alike, including cost savings and invoice processing efficiencies, reduction in errors and exceptions:
Accounts payable automation makes your invoice processing faster and more efficient by eliminating many of the manual stages – keying of invoice data, the approval workflow, and matching between invoices, POs, contracts, and goods receipts. It significantly reduces the number of human touches per invoice, thus reducing the amount of time spent on each invoice.
Accounts payable automation can significantly reduce the cost by which you are processing your invoices, saving your business money as well as time and resources on multiple levels. Automation not only helps reduce labor costs, eliminating manual tasks and the costs involved in document storage, postage, invoice production, etc., where the workers can focus on more worthwhile tasks, it also minimizes the risk for fraud and costly mistakes in manual handling.
AP automation enables you to see the complete invoice flow in real time as well as access a digital invoice archive to see all previous invoices with a full audit trail – when the invoice arrived, who handled it, where it was sent, who approved it – with the possibility to add comments to it.
Automation eliminates the risk of human error and helps reduce the occurrence of payment errors, such as duplicate or fraudulent invoices. By matching the invoices against POs, contracts, and goods receipts early on in the process, erroneous payments can be flagged before they are made.
Accounts payable automation provides a completely automated approval workflow with reduced approval times and increased productivity. It helps you avoid late payments as well as identify and avoid bottlenecks. Accounts payable automation solutions may also be integrated with existing ERPs, accounting systems, and other financial systems, creating an even more seamless and efficient workflow.
Compliance rules are built into the AP automation software, helping create a fully transparent process to track and prevent common risks and instances of fraud. For example, the system can flag down duplicate issues, additional charges, and suspicious activities.

AP automation, or accounts payable automation, is the process by which AP processes are digitized, automated, and streamlined using technology. It has revolutionized the way companies process invoices.
AP automation has become a competitive necessity as many organizations receive hundreds, maybe thousands, of vendor invoices each month. Handling such a large number of invoices manually is not only very time-consuming, the risk of human error is also always a challenge. But AP is not just about collecting the documents and making sure the right person receives them; it’s also about keying the data into the accounting system or ERP and then tracking the approval process with emails, phone calls, and spreadsheets.
There are multiple levels of AP automation with increasing complexity and functionalities for additional accounts payable processes:
Basic Level
The most common application of AP automation entails the receipt, capture, and coding of invoices as well as the approval process. Data is automatically captured from email and paper invoices with OCR and AI. The invoices are then sent for approval to the proper approver according to pre-set rules.
Intermediate level
Processes are tailored on a more complex level to match each company’s unique needs and requirements. More advanced functionality for every step in the AP process – line item capture, automated PO-matching on line level, AI support for automated coding and document workflow.
Advanced Level
End-to-end AP automation enabling a zero touch process. Insights platform with standardized reports on spend and AP processes which help you reach the next level of automation. Introduces additional features such as requisitions, budget approval, 3-way matching, recurring invoice automation, self-billing, and much more.
