Accounts Payable Software

Automate accounts payable

Save hours every month

Manual processes are time-consuming and subtract value from the business. Automated AP reduces processing costs and frees your team to do more important work than pushing paper.

Get accurate, real-time data

A paperless AP process makes invoice management faster and more accurate. Minimize human error and ensure your financial data is always up to date.

Complete your digital transformation

Other business processes have gone digital, but accounts payable may be holding you back. AP automation software closes the loop to decentralize your financial management stack.

Eliminate data entry with AP automation

Accounts payable automation lets you submit and approve purchase orders and invoices digitally, for faster processing and better tracking. Employees submit purchase requests in sections, and finance or procurement teams can approve and pay just as quickly. OCR software reads invoices and extracts key details, saving even more time and removing human error.

Get real-time business intelligence

Waiting for the month-end makes it impossible to work strategically. Finance leaders need to know what they're spending, and why, to deploy resources more effectively. Accounts payable software shows you all committed spend, no matter where in the lifecycle a payment is. Don't want until bank reconciliation time to truly know where company money has gone. Stay up to date in real time.

Ensure smooth cash flow

The ability to spend easily while under control is critical to company growth. Process roadblocks only slow your team down, and don't actually help you mitigate risk. Accounting software solutions keep the supply chain moving, without sacrificing any control. Employees take ownership, you pay vendors on time, and finance always has one hand on the steering wheel.

Automate approval workflows

Empowering teams doesn't mean sacrificing control or visibility. Automate and track all managerial approvals, and keep a clear audit trail for every invoice paid. Pre-approve certain vendors, or automatically validate payments up to a certain limit. When a manager's approval is needed, they are notified by email, Slack, or mobile phone. They have everything they need - including the original invoice - to make a quick, informed decision.

Integrate with accounting software

Good AP automation solutions also make your accountants' lives easier. Connect your accounts payable process with cloud accounting systems, including ERPs, Netsuite, Freshbooks, Quickbooks Online, or any other accounting solution you prefer. No data entry, and finance teams have visibility over the entire payment lifecycle. Spendesk has native integrations with Xero and DATEV, and for other accounting systems it's a simple data export and upload. Just a few clicks.

Choose paperless financial management

Make accounts payable part of a complete digital finance stack. Everything from credit cards, to cash management, to invoicing, to your general ledger can be digitized and integrated together. The goal: one clean finance system that gives you real-time data capture and easy-to-use functionality. Modern CFOs know the value of digital finances tools. Don't let manual processes hold you back.

It’s very easy for people with no finance knowledge to grab a supplier invoice and upload it to Spendesk. And then it follows the same process as every other purchase. The budget owner reviews and approves it, it’s assigned to the right budget, and the employee can track its progress through the whole way.
