Introduction to Accounts Payable Automation

In the rapidly evolving finance landscape, automation has emerged as a transformative force. This chapter explores the fundamentals of AP automation, its growing importance, and the potential impact it holds for organizations in 2025 and beyond.

What is Accounts Payable Automation?

Accounts Payable automation leverages advanced technologies to digitize and streamline the traditionally manual processes of invoice receipt, processing, approval, and payment. This includes tools like Optical Character Recognition

(OCR) for data extraction, AI-driven workflows for invoice approvals, and real-time analytics for improved decision-making.

By automating these processes, companies can:

Improve data capture accuracy to 95%+, compared to manual data entry
Improve team productivity by 50%
Cut invoice processing time by half

Why Automate AP in 2025?
