Accounts Payable Automation

What is AP Automation?

Accounts Payable Automation, often known as AP Automation, is a technology system that helps the accounting team to automate accounts payable invoice processes. To automate accounts payable invoice and payment procedures, AP Automation software includes clever optical character recognition (OCR) technologies that integrate both artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) software.
