Finance leaders know that Accounts Payable automation can unlock huge gains in efficiency, accuracy, and control. With solutions like Medius, it’s possible to eliminate manual tasks, gain real-time visibility, and scale smoothly as the business grows.
But technology alone does not guarantee success.
The real difference comes from how solutions are implemented, integrated, and supported. Success depends on having the right processes, the right people, and the right expertise in place to make the technology work at its full potential.
This is where Noresca plays a key role. Recognized as NetSuite’s Nordic Alliance Partner of the Year for two consecutive years, they combine finance expertise with technical depth. Their consultants understand both ERP and AP automation, which means they can tailor Medius and NetSuite to fit each client’s unique operating model.
Where AP automation projects can get stuck
Even with strong technology in place, the way you approach AP automation will determine the results you see. From our experience, there are a few common areas where projects can get stuck and where the right guidance makes all the difference:
Process fit matters
If workflows aren’t aligned with how your business operates, even the smartest automation can feel clunky.
Integrations need attention
Smooth connections between AP, ERP, banks, and other systems are key to keeping data flowing without manual workarounds.
Finance perspective is essential
Technical setups that overlook compliance, reporting, or decision-making needs can create gaps later.
Adoption drives value
A solution is only as effective as the people using it. Proper training and change support are what turn features into real results.
When these areas are addressed upfront, companies see faster adoption, stronger control, and much higher returns from their AP automation projects.
What drives success when implementing AP automation
The most successful AP automation projects combine three elements:
The right platform
Medius and NetSuite together provide a scalable foundation, automating invoice workflows and giving finance leaders real-time control across entities and regions.
Smart automation
Configurations tailored to your business, from approval flows to reporting structures, ensure that automation reflects how your teams work.
Expert guidance
A skilled partner brings financial know-how and implementation experience, helping you avoid pitfalls and maximize long-term value.
By combining technology, process, and partner expertise, companies not only implement AP automation successfully but also see lasting improvements in efficiency, compliance, and decision-making.
