Overview
Most AP teams already use some kind of automation, but if you’re still chasing exceptions, fixing coding errors, or replying to endless vendor emails, your system isn’t really working for you. Traditional automation follows set rules, so when something doesn’t fit, the process breaks down, and manual work stacks up.
This session with The AP Association will show you how AI-powered AP automation learns from your invoices to handle exceptions automatically, improve coding accuracy, and cut out repetitive fixes for good. You’ll see how teams are using AI to:
- Eliminate matching errors across multiple POs and entities
- Achieve up to 95% coding accuracy after just two invoices
- Free up hours each week by automating vendor inquiries and approvals
By the end, you’ll have a clear view of how to make your AP process faster, cleaner, and less hands-on with a solution that far outperforms “just okay” and continues getting better with every invoice.
