Rillion partners with Pinewood.AI to bring AI-driven AP automation for automotive retailers
Stockholm, Sweden — 22 June, 2026 — Rillion and Pinewood.AI today announced a partnership that brings AI-driven AP automation natively into the Pinewood Automotive Intelligence™ Platform, making it the first and only integration of its kind. Combining both companies' expertise, automotive retailers and dealer groups can now manage invoices end-to-end, faster, smarter, and without disrupting existing workflows.
Modern finance, embedded in the platform dealers already use
The integration gives Pinewood.AI customers AI-native invoice capture and processing, automated invoice matching and approval workflows, and real-time synchronization with platform data. It is designed to significantly reduce manual administration, improve invoice visibility and control, and accelerate finance operations across multi-site dealer groups.
The solution is already live and delivering results at multiple customer sites, with more going live throughout 2026.
“By combining Rillion’s AI-driven AP automation with the power of the Pinewood Automotive Intelligence™ Platform, we are enabling dealerships to modernise finance workflows with greater automation, visibility and control. We are already seeing clear efficiencies and reduced manual processing from early users, who have all been seeking to improve their finance processes with a more intelligent automation experience” says Henrik Larsson, VP of Partnerships & Alliances at Rillion.
A partnership built around shared customers
Built for the complexity of automotive retail, the integration between Pinewood.AI and Rillion delivers:
- Full visibility into invoices across sites, franchises, and cost centers from a single dashboard
- AI-native invoice capture and processing
- Automated 3-way PO matching and approval workflows
- Real-time synchronization with Pinewood Automotive Intelligence™ Platform data
- Riley, Rillion's AI assistant, on hand to answer questions and guide users through the AP process
“Finance teams no longer have to choose between best-in-class AP automation and a seamless platform experience. By embedding Rillion directly into the Pinewood Automotive Intelligence™ Platform, we're making it easier for automotive retailers to automate AP without adding complexity,” says Mikael Rask, CPTO at Rillion.
Steve Meadows, Chief Commercial Officer at Pinewood.AI, says: “Finance teams across the industry are under increasing pressure to improve efficiency, strengthen controls and modernize legacy processes. Our partnership with Rillion delivers a highly scalable solution that is deeply integrated within our Automotive Intelligence Platform, and the tool is already having real-world impact by helping retailers streamline invoice management and reduce manual administration. This is much more than us adding another integration. Together with Rillion we are delivering a strategic finance automation partnership purpose-built for the evolving automotive retail landscape.”
Built for scale and fast to deploy
The solution is hosted on Microsoft Azure and native to the Pinewood Automotive Intelligence™ Platform, meaning dealer groups can be onboarded quickly without custom development. Commercial rollout continues across Pinewood.AI's global user base throughout 2026 and beyond, across 36 countries and with partnerships spanning over 50 OEM brands.
