Accounts payable software for construction companies

How AP automation benefits construction firms

Construction firms continue to face unpredictability in material availability, subcontractor reliability, and regulatory demands. This makes efficient back-office operations more critical than ever. AP automation gives you the control and visibility needed to manage complex projects, job-site spending, and supplier relationships — all in one place.

Here’s how Medius AP automation helps companies like yours:

• Capture and approve invoices from anywhere — job site, office, or home
• Gain complete visibility with full payment and invoice history
• Reduce processing errors and duplicate payments with AI-powered checks
• Enable mobile invoice approvals and real-time spend tracking on the go
• Access to our around-the-clock support team

Not quite convinced? Here's what one of our construction clients had to say:

“We work with over 4,000 suppliers and contractors and Medius significantly enhances our supplier risk management processes, ensuring only those with the appropriate certification can work with us.”

Matthew Paul, Group Commercial Manager, Barratt Developments PLC

You wouldn’t manage your job sites with paper and pen, so why handle invoices that way? Ditch the manual processing and move to digital AP workflows that are fast, mobile-ready, and built for the pace of construction.

Start by adding invoice automation

While payment automation is important, invoice automation is the foundation of a strong AP process, especially in project-heavy industries like construction. From capturing and coding invoices to routing them for approvals, Medius uses AI-powered automation to make every step faster and more accurate.

Invoice automation results in reduced costs and more time that your finance team can devote to higher value tasks.

Our invoice automation solution:

• Digitizes the entire invoice workflow
• Reads data from your invoices regardless of the format
• Handles coding and approval routing
• Enables full visibility into history and tracking
• Uses AI to auto-match invoices to POs and flag discrepancies before they delay approvals
• Allows mobile-friendly invoice approvals from job sites or remote locations

Implementing paperless and automated invoice automation results in a finance department that runs better than ever. You can do so while keeping your current banks and ERP at no capital expenditure or adverse impact on your IT team.

Streamline B2B payments with AP automation

After streamlining invoice capture and approvals, the next step is simplifying how you pay suppliers — without delays, errors, or compliance headaches.

Medius payment automation enables your team to make secure, trackable payments from anywhere, whether you're in the office or on a job site. Real-time dashboards keep finance and project teams aligned on cash flow.

Here’s what payment automation makes possible:

• Authorize payments by vendor and by payment type
• Eliminate processes that are slowing you down
• Receive real-time updates on payments processing
• Support flexible payment options — ACH, wire, and card — based on vendor preference
• Maintain full visibility and control across distributed project locations
• Minimize risk of late payments and improve supplier relationships

With Medius, you don’t need to choose between speed and control — you get both, with automation that fits how construction companies operate today.

Powering construction AP with AI and mobile access

Automation in accounts payable has evolved well beyond simple invoice digitization. Today, advanced solutions leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to prevent issues before they disrupt operations, while also supporting flexible, mobile-friendly access for teams working in the field.

When approvals, visibility, and workflows are all accessible in the palm of your hand, you eliminate costly delays and help your business stay on schedule and within budget.

Gain better control over project-based spend

In construction, every invoice, purchase order, and supplier payment is tied to a specific job. Without proper systems in place, it's easy for costs to get lost across spreadsheets, emails, or manual entry, especially when managing multiple active job sites.

Medius helps construction companies take back control of spend by organizing all AP data in one central, cloud-based platform. You can break down costs by project, supplier, or cost center, making it easier to monitor budget usage and identify potential overruns before they happen.

With real-time dashboards and reporting tools, finance teams and project managers can stay on the same page without constant emails or reconciliation work. That means faster decision-making, fewer surprises at month-end, and more accurate forecasting.

Construction is project-driven. Your AP process should be too.
