AP Automation Software

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

Overview

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.

  • 40+ hrs Hours saved monthly — saved per month on AP (Synergy HomeCare)
  • 20+ hrs Manual work cut — saved per week vs. manual (Erdman Holdings)
  • 3–5 hrs Back every week — saved per week with automation (onXmaps)
  • ~1,000 At real volume — invoices processed in two months (FC Cincinnati)

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

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

Pay suppliers domestically or internationally

Pay U.S. suppliers by check, ACH, or virtual card, and global suppliers by international wire with transparent FX rates, all from one place, with the cash-flow impact shown before you approve.

  • Pay by check, ACH, wire, or virtual card
  • International wires with transparent FX rates
  • Cash-flow impact shown before you approve

Make AP a profit center, not just a cost

Fund an interest-bearing AP disbursement account that earns 2.25% APY* while it pays your suppliers, plus rebates and cashback on virtual-card spend, turning payables into a source of return instead of a line-item expense.

  • Interest-bearing disbursement account you control
  • Pay vendors while earning a yield on balances
  • Earn from virtual card rebates and cashback

Optimize DPO and mitigate fraud

Time payments to optimize your days payable outstanding, while automated capture, PO matching, and approval policies catch duplicates and out-of-policy payments before they’re paid, with a full audit trail.

  • Time payments to optimize DPO
  • Duplicate and fraud detection built into approvals
  • Full audit trail on every payment

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.

  • Fund payments from an account that earns yield, not a settlement account you don’t control
  • Schedule payments against your live cash forecast
  • No double entry, native ERP sync
  • Connects to AR, expense, and the Cash Forecasting Workbench

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Can Centime pay international suppliers?

Yes. Pay global suppliers by international wire with transparent FX rates, using the same approval workflows, ERP sync, and audit trail as domestic payments.

What is an AP disbursement account, and do I keep the yield?

It's an interest-bearing account that funds your supplier payments. You control the account, the payment timing, and the interest it earns, instead of routing payments through a settlement account you don't own.

How can I make AP a profit center?

You earn from your interest-bearing disbursement account and from virtual card rebates and cashback — turning payables from a cost center into a source of return.
