AP Automation

Finance teams are under constant pressure to process invoices faster, eliminate errors, and gain real‑time visibility over spend.

By using the power of DocuWare to automate the Accounts Payable (AP) function, they can deliver on those demands using AI‑driven data capture, configurable workflows, and seamless ERP integration that replace time‑consuming manual tasks with a reliable, touchless flow.

DocuWare can automatically capture and digitise invoices from any source - email, scan, upload, XML or supplier portals - extracting key data using Intelligent Indexing and Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to eliminate manual data entry and improve accuracy. Complex line items and multi‑page table documents are handled intelligently, ensuring validation and PO matching happen without bottlenecks. Once indexed, invoices are routed instantly through predefined approval workflows, reducing delays and offering full visibility and audit trails across the process. With straight‑through approvals, automated exception handling, and direct posting back to your ERP/Finance system, DocuWare helps organisations achieve rapid processing cycles and better cash‑flow control.

For organisations looking to go that one step further, VERTOSUITE delivers the next level of AP automation power. Built by Anota as a cloud‑based SaaS platform, VERTOSUITE provides deep ERP‑grade integrations and configurable AP workflows designed for businesses that need advanced control, auditability, and multi‑system connectivity. VERTOSUITE integrates seamlessly with leading ERP and accounting systems including Syspro, Xero, Sage, NetSuite, Microsoft Business Central, and others, ensuring invoice data flows cleanly between DocuWare and your financial backbone with zero re‑keying and complete consistency.

While DocuWare and VERTOSUITE excel at automation, many organisations need to connect finance workflows with activity happening elsewhere in the business for example, in operations, procurement, HR, logistics, or even shared inboxes. Whilst DocuWare’s web-service and webhooks are extremely powerful and versatile, capabilities can be further enhanced by using integration services (for example like MAKE). Embedding these within existing workflows enables no‑code integrations with thousands of other cloud applications, allowing you to link DocuWare events - such as invoice ingestion, approval outcomes, or metadata updates - to triggers in other platforms. Whether you want to notify teams in Teams or Slack, update records in CRM, enrich supplier information, or sync documents to collaboration hubs, platforms like MAKE provide fast, flexible connectivity without development overhead.

Combined, DocuWare + VERTOSUITE create a fully automated AP ecosystem: capture, classify, approve, post, and reconcile, all with end‑to‑end visibility and dramatically reduced processing time.
