“We hit a 40% touchless rate within one month of going live. That initial 40% really helped our team and allowed them to shift their focus toward working with suppliers on disputed items and reconciling statements.”

Free your team with accurate invoice capture

Autonomously capture and validate invoices with 100% accuracy in any format or language. Our AI continuously learns from your team’s feedback to confidently handle more invoices over time. Unlike OCR solutions that require validation or vendor-specific templates, Autonomous AP eliminates manual keying of vendor details, line items, PO numbers, cost centers, and tax codes, and processes documents directly from AP email inboxes and scans within minutes of receipt.

Automate intelligent invoice coding

Instantly and accurately assign general ledger codes and allocations to non-PO-backed invoices without human intervention. AppZen’s AI learns your historical coding and the structure of your chart of accounts to code every invoice with precision.

01 What makes AppZen Autonomous AP different from other AP automation solutions?

AppZen Autonomous AP delivers end-to-end invoice processing powered by AI trained on over a decade of enterprise spend data. Our AI starts at your AP email inbox, where it categorizes vendor emails, drafts responses, and processes invoices automatically. That automation carries through the full AP workflow, from invoice capture to OK-to-pay, handling up to 80% of spend without human involvement.

AI Agents continuously learn your organization's unique processes and standard operating procedures. They catch duplicates and fraud in real time, integrate with your existing ERP, and save finance teams thousands of processing hours annually.

02 What does implementation look like for the AppZen AP automation solution?

The typical implementation time is a few days. This includes time for discovery, education, training the AI with historical data, configuration, and validation of the integration.

03 What financial systems does AppZen integrate with?

AppZen offers pre-built integrations with 100+ industry-leading ERP providers, including SAP, Oracle Fusion, NetSuite, and Microsoft. Check out the full list of integrations AppZen supports here.

04 What customers and industries use AppZen for AP Automation?

Our customers include Honeywell, Applied Industrial Technologies, Georgetown University, and Databricks, to name a few. Learn more about our customers here.

05 How does AppZen handle PO matching for AP automation?

Rules-based systems rely on exact matches or cross-reference tables to match invoices against purchase orders. When line items are out of order, descriptions differ, or multiple lines need to be grouped, those systems fail or require manual intervention.

AppZen AI Agents predict which PO lines match against which invoice lines using contextual understanding, not rigid rules or lookup tables. You can customize matching logic based on your standard operating procedures to increase automation and reduce payment errors.

When a PO is out of funds, our AI confirms matching line items, flags the appropriate buyer, and continuously rechecks the system until requirements are met. The match completes without additional action from your team.

06 What is the difference between AppZen Autonomous AP and OCR?

OCR converts printed or handwritten text into machine-readable digital text. It extracts data from a document, but it does not understand what that data means or what should be done with it.

AppZen Autonomous AP goes beyond extraction. Our AP Extraction Agent uses computer vision, NLP, and document understanding to extract header information, vendor details, line items, tax codes, and cost centers with 100% accuracy, customizable to your organization's logic. From there, our AI matches invoices to purchase orders, detects duplicates and fraud, validates pricing, and enforces compliance, all within your existing ERP and approval workflows.

07 Can AppZen’s AP automation solution handle invoices in foreign languages and currencies?

Yes. AppZen’s AI can read and understand invoices from countries worldwide, including German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Japanese, and Chinese — to name a few.

Our AI actively learns from country and language-specific invoice patterns, such as Invoice Terms, Supplier Information, Payment Information, and Tax Details, in order to improve over time. 

08 Does AppZen help catch fraud or flag duplicate invoices?

Yes. AppZen has built-in financial controls and AI to identify duplicate invoices in your accounts payable workflow. AppZen continuously confirms that an invoice is not a duplicate at every stage, from upload to coding to the approval phase. When a potential duplicate is identified, the system automatically notifies the correct individuals.

09 What kind of reporting and analytics capabilities does Autonomous AP offer?

AppZen’s interactive analytics dashboard features the ability to ask questions in natural language, allowing you to surface insights through custom visualizations and drill-downs quickly. You can easily operationalize these insights by scheduling automated reports, downloading data for deeper analysis, or sharing PDF reports directly with stakeholders via email.
