AP Automation

AP Automation Software

Run your entire payables process, from invoice capture to strategic payment, inside your ERP.

  • Automate invoice capture and coding
  • Streamline PO matching and approvals
  • Electronify payments and earn rebates
  • Optimize your DPO

Accounts payable automation software digitizes the AP workflow: capturing and coding invoices, routing approvals, matching invoices to purchase orders, and paying suppliers, with far less manual effort. Centime runs all of this natively inside your ERP, so payables stay in sync with your books, with no second system to maintain and no duplicate data entry.

Capture and code

Invoices that read and code themselves

AP automation starts with capture: OCR reads each invoice header and line items, and AI predicts the GL coding automatically, learning your patterns over time. Your team stops typing invoices and starts reviewing them.

  • OCR captures header and line-level detail
  • AI predicts header- and line-level GL coding
  • Learns your coding patterns over time

PO matching and approvals

Three-way PO matching, with flexible approvals

Three-way matching reconciles the purchase order, receipt, and invoice, and surfaces only the exceptions that need a human. Flexible, ad hoc approval workflows then route each invoice to the right approver, so nothing stalls in an inbox.

  • Three-way matching across PO, receipt, and invoice
  • Exceptions surfaced for fast resolution
  • Ad hoc, policy-based approval workflows

Payments and DPO

Pay by check, ACH, or virtual card, and optimize DPO

Pay every supplier by check, ACH, or virtual card from one place, and see the cash-flow impact before you approve. Time payments to optimize your DPO, and earn rebates on virtual-card spend, without changing the cards you already use.

  • Pay by check, ACH, or virtual card
  • Cash-flow impact shown before you approve
  • Optimize DPO and earn rebates on eligible spend

The strategic view

AP is a lever on your cash, not just a cost center

Because AP shares a platform with AR and forecasting, every payment you schedule updates your cash picture in real time. Pay strategically, stretch your DPO, and protect working capital, instead of just paying on the due date. That turns payables from a back-office chore into a lever on your cash.

  • Schedule payments against your live cash forecast
  • No double entry, native ERP sync
  • Connects to AR, expense, and the Cash Forecasting Workbench

Questions finance teams ask us

Questions finance teams ask us

Does Centime AP run inside my ERP, or as a separate system?

It runs natively inside NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, and Dynamics. No separate system, no double entry, payables stay in sync.

How does AI invoice coding work, and how accurate is it?

AI reads each invoice and predicts GL coding, learning your patterns over time. A person reviews and approves, so accuracy improves while keying disappears.

Does Centime do three-way PO matching?

Yes. It matches the PO, receipt, and invoice and surfaces only the exceptions that need a human.

How does it prevent duplicate and fraud payments?

Automated capture, PO matching, and approval policies catch duplicates and out-of-policy payments before they’re paid, with a full audit trail.

Can we keep our cards and earn rebates?

Yes. Pay by ACH, wire, or virtual card and earn rebates on eligible spend, without changing your card program.

Is our payables data secure?

Yes. Centime is SOC 2 Type II compliant with bank-grade security.
