Medius AI automatically extracts the data you need from supplier invoices, achieving a 96.3% touchless processing rate for PO invoices (vs. a 23.4% market average), and eliminates the need for manual reviews.
Using a proprietary multi-stage AI pipeline, not generic OCR, Medius turns PDF, paper, and electronic invoices into secure autonomous processes. The result: invoice processing costs drop from an industry average of ~$9.87 per invoice to as low as $2.81, and cycle times fall from ~14 days to ~6 days. At 6 million invoices processed per month, Medius's proprietary AI models cost 25x less per invoice than LLM-based processing, saving approximately $967,000 annually at that volume, a structural cost advantage that compounds with scale.
Say goodbye to manual checks and reviews. With AI Medius automates invoice processing using proprietary models, including Siamese CNNs for document classification and Markov models for line-item extraction, that are 947x faster and 25x more cost-effective than LLM-based alternatives, delivering 99.5% touchless rates on non-PO invoices. These aren't generic models fine-tuned on public data: they are purpose-built for AP workflows and trained on over a decade of production outcomes, including approvals, rejections, fraud flags, and coding corrections.
Medius AI and ML take invoice scanning to the next level without the need to maintain templates or configurations. SmartFlow, Medius's proprietary CNN for non-PO invoice coding, reaches 95%+ precision after just two invoices by learning directly from your historical coding patterns.
Medius Capture uses a proprietary multi-stage AI pipeline, combining optical character recognition (OCR), purpose-built machine learning models, and large language models (LLMs) selectively deployed for edge cases, to extract relevant data from paper and digital invoices, including PDF, e-invoices, and EDI. Unlike solutions built on generic AI, Medius's models are trained on 2.4 billion+ invoice field data points, including 393 million+ real-world corrections covering long-tail exceptions such as tax codes and cost centers. Critically, 17%+ of Medius's training dataset comes from real-world AP corrections, the kind of domain-specific signal no startup or LLM-only competitor can synthesize. LLMs are used in less than 1% of cases, reserved for genuine edge cases such as unseen layouts or new languages; the remaining throughput runs on proprietary models that are faster, cheaper, and more accurate. This eliminates manual checks and reviews at scale.

Ensure all your invoices are processed and sent digitally so you can begin to unlock the benefits of an e-Invoicing program and have consistency across all electronic formats including PDF, XML and many more formats.
Eliminate matching errors, discrepancies and time-consuming reviews by accurately capturing information from invoice headers and line items then automatically matching them against single or multiple POs and receivables. Medius's active learning has delivered a ~50% improvement in line-item capture rates, from 46% to 84%, across the customer base.
Medius Capture is built on proprietary AI that gets measurably smarter with every invoice processed. Unlike rule-based OCR tools, Medius's models are trained on over a decade of production AP data, enriched by 393 million+ real-world corrections, creating a domain-specific dataset that is structurally impossible for a new entrant to replicate, even with the latest LLMs. A hybrid model router selects the optimal model for each task, proprietary engines for core throughput, LLMs only for genuine edge cases, keeping accuracy high and processing costs low regardless of LLM pricing shifts. Competitors citing raw document volume (Basware: 2B+ invoices processed; Coupa: $9.5T in spend intelligence) have not published equivalent corrective label volumes or outcome-coupled training depth, the signals that actually drive AP accuracy.
Medius invoice capture software integrates effortlessly with your existing ERP and financial systems via 100+ pre-built ERP connectors, including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Infor and Microsoft Dynamics. Average customer go-live is 8–12 weeks, compared to 6–18 months for ERP-native AP modules.
Compare your touchless processing results and KPIs against the benchmarks of your peers. Medius customers average 68.9% touchless rates on PO invoices, nearly 3x the 23.4% Ardent Partners market average, and the gap widens with volume and time.
Chadwell Supply used to handle invoices manually and had different folders separating invoices by pay terms and by coordinator. Chadwell Supply turned to Medius to implement a solution that could overhaul their current AP processes and they now challenge themselves to see how many can be touchless.
61% of companies say their AP is fully or partially automated, but they don't see the return on investment they expected. Use of paper invoices has decreased, but many AP teams report no change in straight-through processing and no change in the average time to process invoices. Many AP professionals continue to face challenges with visibility, manual processing, and unnecessary costs.
The reason: most automation solutions have not kept pace with the needs of today’s AP processes. Medius delivers a measurable difference: ~3x reduction in invoice cost and cycle time, ~70% reduction in exception rates, and AI-powered fraud detection that reduces payment fraud and error rates by 90–95%. Medius Supplier Conversations, an AI agent that autonomously handles inbound supplier emails, reduces supplier inbox management from ~8 hours per week to ~30 minutes, a ~94% reduction. And because Medius's AI moat compounds with every invoice processed, the performance gap vs. point solutions and ERP-native modules widens over time, not narrows. Find out how businesses are achieving these results.
The definition of a truly touchless process is that no intervention is required from when the invoice arrives to when it is posted to the ERP for payment. It’s possible to get there, and this article will reveal five ways to improve your organization’s AP automation efforts, so you can spend less time chasing paper and more time doing productive work.
