FAQs
What are the benefits of using AP automation for me and my business?
By using our software, you and your team can transform finance operations from a chore into a strategic asset. Our integrated platform not only automates your accounts payable, bill capture, and approvals, it also handles multi-currency transactions.
This means not only does every invoice get captured and every payment processed with precision, but you also gain visibility into your financial workflows. It helps you make informed decisions faster, leveraging real-time insights that could potentially save your business money.
Instead of wrestling with tedious data entry or juggling multiple tools for different tasks, we help you with a single, smart solution that helps safeguard against errors and fraud.
Can AP automation capture invoices and checks automatically?
Yes, it can. The built-in AI technology (OCR) in our AP automation software enables you to digitally capture your invoices. It also automatically routes invoices for approval without paper forms, helping you to gain visibility over the approval process and promptly address any bottlenecks.
Can it also analyse receipts?
Yes, it can. Expense receipts can either be uploaded to support a card transaction or as a reimbursable expense claim.
Can I have an approver for the invoice and bill, and have a separate approver for my payment?
Yes, you can set up separate approval policies for bills, expenses and payments. We also know that there can be different layers of approvals. That’s why we built a multi-tiered conditional approvals system, where you can set up rules and edit them within the platform.
