Medius automates invoice capture, approvals, processing, and payment, replacing the worry and guesswork of managing AP with calm, confidence and control. Medius goes far beyond basic automation: our AI does the work, so your team doesn't have to.
Medius reduces average invoice processing time from ~14 days to 6 days, and best-in-class customers reach ~3 days. By automating every step of the workflow, Medius eliminates the bottlenecks and manual handoffs that slow AP teams down.
Medius gives finance teams end-to-end visibility across the entire invoice lifecycle, from receipt to payment, across 100+ ERP integrations including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite, and more.
Medius surfaces comprehensive, real-time analytics on invoice status, exception rates, cycle times, and cost per invoice, so AP leaders can report with confidence, track against industry benchmarks, and continuously improve performance.
Accounts payable, (AP) automated invoice processing transforms manual, paper-based workflows into an AI-driven system. Medius's native embedded capture solution automatically ingests invoices arriving by paper, email, EDI, and e-invoice, converting them to a structured digital format. Invoice coding is applied automatically by proprietary machine learning models, including Siamese CNNs for document classification and SmartFlow, a proprietary CNN that reaches 95%+ coding precision after just two invoices, trained on your historical actions and enriched by 2.4 billion+ invoice field data points across Medius's global customer base. Critically, over 393 million of those data points come from real-world human corrections, capturing the long-tail edge cases that generic AI models miss.
Invoices are then routed intelligently for approval alongside supporting documentation, with AI flagging exceptions and anomalies before they become problems. Medius achieves a 96.3% touchless processing rate for PO invoices, versus a 23.4% market average (Ardent Partners, 2025), freeing AP teams to focus on higher-value work.
Cloud-based and scalable, Medius’s invoice and payment processing system connects to your ERP via 100+ pre-built connectors, enabling rapid go-live, typically in 8–12 weeks, with measurable impact from day one. That speed-to-value stands in sharp contrast to ERP-native AP modules, which typically require 6–18 months to implement and still cannot match Medius's touchless rates, proprietary AI coding, or AI-powered fraud detection.

"Medius is truly a global solution provider and has proved over and over again that it can support international rollouts, whatever the market requirements. Combining the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine and the invoice to purchase order matching gives you a world class solution for accounts payable. I really see no better alternative anywhere else."
