AutoPilot · Accounts payable automation

Earn your way to touchless accounts payable.

AutoPilot's built-in Automation Consultant learns from every correction your team makes. It takes over coding and approval vendor by vendor, only once it has proven itself on your own invoices, and only inside rules you publish.

THE AUTOMATION GAP

The average invoice costs nearly four times the best-in-class.

The leaders are not working harder. They process more invoices straight through, with fewer exceptions and fewer hands on each one. The rest still key, code, chase and re-check invoices that look the same as last month's.

US$9.90Average cost to process one invoice. Best-in-class teams do it for US$2.67.1
19.9%Of invoices hit an exception on average, against 11.8% for the best-in-class.1
60%Average touchless processing rate, so four in ten invoices still need a person.2
79%Faster and cheaper: leading AP teams against their peers.3

90% touchless

A target, not a measured result. Touchless rate is measured per customer on its own approved invoices.

HOW AUTOPILOT WORKS

Five steps, from inbox to your ERP.

01 · Intake

E-invoice first

Peppol e-invoices arrive as structured data. Supplier PDFs are read by AI, and uncertain fields stop for a person.

02 · Code

Your segments

Each line is coded in your ERP's own segments, learned from your history and from every correction.

03 · Match

Every source of truth

Checked against POs, contracts, price lists and timesheets within your tolerance. Duplicates caught across every entity.

04 · Approve

Your delegation of authority

Routed by your delegation of authority. Approvers see the clause that sent it to them, on their phone.

05 · Release

To your ERP

Approved invoices go to your ERP for payment. AutoPilot never moves money.

THE AUTONOMY LADDER

Earned per vendor and entity.

A vendor moves up a rung at 98% measured accuracy over 20 decisions, by default. One reversal by your team moves it back down. Nothing is switched on globally.

1 · Suggest

Shown with its confidence and the reason why.

2 · Prefill

Filled in, accepted with one key.

3 · Auto-apply

Coded without a touch, undone with one.

4 · Auto-approve

Only inside an auto-approve rule you publish.

YOUR AUTOMATION CONSULTANT

The consultant who builds your rules lives inside the product.

No one has to configure AutoPilot's rules. Its Automation Consultant watches what it suggested, what your team decided and why, and proposes the rules for you. That one record is its memory, its accuracy score and your audit trail. Your controller can see what it has learned, from which invoices, and switch any of it off.

Instant

Vendor memory

How each vendor is coded for each entity. One correction changes the next suggestion.

Days

“We noticed…” rules

The Automation Consultant turns consistent decisions into a rule in plain language, proposed for your approval.

Weeks

Earned autonomy

Measured accuracy per vendor and entity decides when it codes, then approves, without a touch.

Controls built in, not bolted on.

Approval-only payments

AutoPilot never moves money. Your ERP and your own banking pay, exactly as today.

An audit trail on every invoice

Who did what and when, what the AI suggested with its confidence, and the policy clause behind each routing. Nothing is edited or deleted.

Separation of duties

The person who coded or routed an invoice can never approve it.

Your data stays yours

Learning is per customer. Supplier bank details are never sent to an AI model.

IN THE PRODUCT

One inbox across every entity, with PayGuard status, confidence and the reason any invoice is waiting. Insights on time per invoice, bottlenecks and a cash-out schedule by due date.
