The Problem

Manual AP is a liability

Hours lost to data entry
Staff manually keying vendor details, line items, and totals into accounting systems — ripe for typos.
Duplicate payments slipping through
Without automated checks, the same invoice gets paid twice — or a vendor submits slightly altered duplicates.
Approvals stuck in email threads
No routing logic means invoices sit unreviewed, late payment fees accumulate, and vendor relationships suffer.
Zero visibility into the queue
Finance managers can't see what's pending, what's flagged, or what's overdue without digging through inboxes.
The Solution

AI handles intake to approval

Any format, extracted instantly
PDF, scanned image, email attachment — GPT-4o Vision reads it all and pulls every field in under 3 seconds.
7 anomaly checks, automatically
Math errors, price variances, missing PO numbers, impossible dates — flagged before a human ever sees the invoice.
Smart routing by threshold & risk
Clean invoices under your approval limit are auto-approved instantly. Issues or high amounts go straight to the right person.
Auto-populates QuickBooks & Sheets
Every processed invoice writes its row to your accounting system — no re-keying, no formatting.
