Accounts Payable (AP) Automation software digitizes and automates the entire invoice and payment process within an organization.

Instead of relying on manual data entry, spreadsheets, and paper documents, AP automation captures, matches, routes, and processes supplier invoices electronically.

How It Works:

  • Invoice Capture: Invoices are automatically captured from email, supplier portals, or uploads and digitized using OCR and AI.

  • Matching and Validation: Invoices are matched against purchase orders and receipts (2-way, 3-way, or 4-way matching) to verify accuracy.

  • Approval Routing: Valid invoices are routed through customizable approval workflows.

  • Real-Time Tracking: Full visibility into every stage, from receipt to payment, ensuring accountability and faster processing.

By automating and simplifying accounts payable, PLANERGY helps organizations reduce processing time, prevent fraud, and improve cash flow management.
