AP Automation (Accounts Payable)
Accounts Payable shouldn't be a daily firefight. Invoxi AP Automation helps SMB teams capture supplier invoices, route them for approval, and keep documents and context connected—all with a modular setup where you only pay for what you use.
Reduce manual work. Improve control. Pay only for the modules you need.
The problem: AP is still too manual for most SMBs
Even today, many AP processes rely on email threads, spreadsheets, and shared folders:
Supplier invoices arrive in different formats (PDF, scans, emails)
Data is retyped into systems (slow, error-prone)
Approvals happen in chats and inboxes (hard to track)
Documents get lost (audit stress)
Teams don't have real-time visibility on what's due
What AP Automation means in practice
AP Automation is the workflow that turns an incoming supplier invoice into a paid, recorded, and traceable transaction:
-
Step 1Capture the invoice
-
Step 2Extract key fields (supplier, amount, dates, VAT, line items)
-
Step 3Validate and match to rules or supporting documents
-
Step 4Approve with clear ownership and audit trail
-
Step 5Store documents and history in one place
-
Step 6Report on spend and upcoming liabilities
How AI helps SMBs in AP (real benefits)
AI is most valuable in AP when it removes repetitive work and reduces mistakes.
Faster data capture from invoices
AI can extract structured data from PDFs and scans so your team doesn't need to retype:
- Supplier name
- Invoice number
- Dates and due date
- VAT/tax amounts
- Totals and line items
Process invoices in minutes, not hours.
Smarter validation and anomaly detection
AI can flag issues before they become problems:
- Duplicate invoices
- Unusual totals or VAT values
- Missing PO/reference fields
- Supplier changes (bank details, address)
Fewer overpayments and fewer surprises.
Better routing and approvals
AI-assisted workflows can suggest the right approver based on:
- Supplier
- Category
- Amount thresholds
- Department/project
Faster approvals and clear accountability.
Search and answers across your AP documents
Instead of digging through folders, AI can help you find what you need:
- Show me all invoices from Supplier X last quarter
- Which invoices are overdue?
- What's the latest contract linked to this supplier?
Less time hunting, more time controlling spend.
