Invoices are automatically routed for approval based on set rules. Approvers review and approve them within the system.

Frequently asked questions about Accounts Payable Automation
faq
What types of invoices can be automated?
Most supplier invoices, including PDFs, scans, PEPPOL and electronic formats.
Does Accounts Payable Automation replace our ERP?
No. It integrates with your existing ERP.
What are the benefits of AP Automation?
AP automation offers significant benefits by streamlining the invoice processing workflow and reducing errors. Automating repetitive tasks saves time and cuts down on labour costs. With improved accuracy and faster processing, payments are made on time, strengthening vendor relationships. Enhanced visibility and tracking capabilities ensure compliance with financial regulations and provide real-time insights into cash flow. Ultimately, AP automation increases overall efficiency, scalability, and financial control, allowing businesses to focus on strategic growth.
If I already use OCR for my invoices, do I still need AP Automation?
Having an OCR will make your life significantly easier. However, it can’t do what an AI-driven AP Automation Automation Solution like RapidAP can do.
An AP Automation solution learns data patterns, interprets the data elements, and answers questions about tax lines, PO numbers and more without telling the system the exact location of those fields. This is something that OCR can’t do by itself.
RapidAP is an AI-driven platform that uses the latest OCR and invoice life-cycle management technology available on the market allowing us to improve our clients’ efficiencies way beyond the market average.
Is accounts payable automation suitable for councils and regulated organisations?
Yes. It is particularly effective in environments with strong governance requirements.
How long does implementation take?
Most implementations are completed in weeks, not months.
Why is configuration important?
Each company has its own approved hierarchy, invoice categories, auto-approval rules, approval procedures, business logic, and workflow rules.
Therefore, every company needs an AP automation solution that can be configured according to their business. RapidAP helps you configure the solution according to your own rules and business logic.
