Hi everyone,

We’ve been re-evaluating our accounts payable process and looking into AI-powered solutions that can take care of invoice capture and vendor payments with fewer errors and way less manual effort.

There’s no shortage of tools out there claiming to solve AP, but we’re looking for something practical that actually fits into an existing finance team’s workflow without a huge learning curve.

Would love to hear what tools you’ve used that worked well for:

  • Extracting invoice data with good accuracy, including line items

  • Matching against POs or receipts

  • Setting up quick approval flows

  • Integrating into your ERP or accounting stack without breaking things

  • Reducing the back-and-forth with vendors
We’ve started testing an AP automation solution internally, and it’s been pretty effective in cutting down cycle time and reducing email clutter. But I'm still exploring.

If you’ve had a good or bad experience with other AP automation platforms, I’d really appreciate your thoughts. What’s worked for your team, and what didn’t?
