“Instead of spending 90% of their time on data entry, our team members are now subject matter experts in the procure-to-pay process. They can identify and solve problems, even beyond AP’s traditional scope. Rather than eliminating positions, we transformed roles.”

Free your team with accurate invoice capture

Autonomously capture and validate invoices with 100% accuracy in any format or language. Our AI continuously learns from your team’s feedback to confidently handle more invoices over time. Unlike OCR solutions that require validation or vendor-specific templates, Autonomous AP eliminates manual keying of vendor details, line items, PO numbers, cost centers, and tax codes, and processes documents directly from AP email inboxes and scans within minutes of receipt.

Automate intelligent invoice coding

Instantly and accurately assign general ledger codes and allocations to non-PO-backed invoices without human intervention. AppZen’s AI learns your historical coding and the structure of your chart of accounts to code every invoice with precision.

01 What makes AppZen different from other AP Automation solutions?

Unlike basic AP automation tools, AppZen provides true autonomous processing powered by AI that's been trained on over a decade of enterprise spend data. Our solution starts working right at your email inbox, using generative AI to automatically categorize vendor emails, draft responses, and process invoices. It then carries that automation through the entire AP workflow, handling up to 80% of spend without human involvement. The AI continuously learns your unique processes and workflows, catching duplicates and fraud in real-time while seamlessly integrating with your existing systems, ultimately saving finance teams thousands of processing hours.

02 What does implementation look like for the AppZen AP automation solution?

The typical implementation time is a few days. This includes time for discovery, education, training the AI with historical data, configuration, and validation of the integration.

03 What financial systems does AppZen integrate with?

AppZen offers pre-built integrations with 100+ industry-leading ERP providers, including SAP, Oracle Fusion, NetSuite, and Microsoft. Check out the full list of integrations AppZen supports here.

Our customers include Honeywell, Applied Industrial Technologies, Georgetown University, Databricks, and Bain Capital, to name a few. Learn more about our customers here.

05 How does AppZen handle PO matching?

Processing PO-backed invoices requires you to check every line item to confirm they follow the purchasing details of the PO. Rules-based systems rely on an exact match or a cross-reference table to translate specific invoice values. AppZen can intelligently predict which PO lines should match against which invoice lines, even when they’re out of order, the items and descriptions are different, or they must be grouped together. Its match is not dependent on rules or cross-reference tables.

Even when the PO is out of funds, AppZen can confirm matching line items and automatically flag the appropriate buyer. It then continuously rechecks the system until requirements have been met and completes the match process without any additional action from you.

06 What is the difference between AppZen Autonomous AP and an OCR tool?

An OCR tool converts printed or written text from documents into machine-readable digital text. AppZen's Autonomous AP solution uses AI to provide comprehensive accounts payable automation. AppZen goes beyond text extraction and uses Advanced AI extraction combined with Computer Vision, NLP, and document understanding technology.

In addition, AppZen automatically matches invoices to purchase orders, detects duplicates and fraud, validates prices, and ensures compliance. AppZen integrates with your ERP, manages approval workflows, and provides risk management features, creating an end-to-end AP automation solution rather than just document digitization.

07 Can AppZen’s AP automation solution handle invoices in foreign languages and currencies?

Yes. AppZen’s AI can read and understand invoices from countries worldwide, including German, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Turkish, Japanese, and Chinese — to name a few.

Our AI actively learns from country and language-specific invoice patterns, such as Invoice Terms, Supplier Information, Payment Information, and Tax Details, in order to improve over time. 

08 Does AppZen help catch fraud or flag duplicate invoices?

Yes. AppZen has built-in financial controls and AI to identify duplicate invoices in your accounts payable workflow. AppZen continuously confirms that an invoice is not a duplicate at every stage, from upload to coding to the approval phase. When a potential duplicate is identified, the system automatically notifies the correct individuals.

09 What kind of reporting and analytics capabilities does Autonomous AP offer?

AppZen’s interactive analytics dashboard features the ability to ask questions in natural language, allowing you to surface insights through custom visualizations and drill-downs quickly. You can easily operationalize these insights by scheduling automated reports, downloading data for deeper analysis, or sharing PDF reports directly with stakeholders via email.
