AP Automation Services for Finance & Shared Services Teams

Auxiliobits' finance automation team delivers process-first accounts payable automation, built on the ERP you already run, in 6-8 weeks.

Combining ML Models with RPA for Intelligent Automation

As enterprises move beyond basic task automation, the fusion of ML models with RPA is quickly becoming the backbone of intelligent, decision-driven operations. This convergence reduces manual judgement work, boosts accuracy, and unlocks measurable ROI. Read this guide to see how ML-powered RPA turns routine processes into scalable, intelligence-led capabilitie

Overview

Auxiliobits provides AP automation services, built and run for you, not software you have to configure yourself. If you’ve already evaluated tools like Medius or Stampli and realized the hard part isn’t picking a platform; it’s the implementation, the exception handling, the change management, and the integration with a finance stack you can’t rip out, that’s the problem we solve. We map your accounts payable process first, then build and deploy the automation around it. For a broader view of the process, see our guide on procure-to-pay automation. This process-first approach is why our engagements go live in 6-8 weeks instead of the 6-12 months typical of a software-led rollout, and why the automation actually holds up once your team is running it without us in the room.

Market Recognition

Auxiliobits is recognized for delivering intelligent AP automation services solutions that help finance and shared services teams modernize invoice processing and scale accounts payable operations. With deep expertise in enterprise automation and AI, we help organizations reduce manual effort, accelerate invoice-to-payment cycles, improve compliance, and achieve measurable gains in efficiency, accuracy, and operational visibility.

How AP Automation Works

Understand how AP automation transforms invoice processing—from invoice capture and data extraction to validation, approval, payment, and reconciliation. This guide breaks down each step of the AP automation services workflow and explains how businesses can reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, accelerate processing, and gain greater visibility into accounts payable.

The complete AP lifecycle we automate

We don’t automate a single step and call it done. We take the full invoice-to-payment cycle:

Stage

What we automate

Invoices arriving by email, vendor portal, or manual upload are captured automatically; no more forwarding PDFs to a shared inbox
Line items, PO numbers, vendor details, and totals are pulled from the invoice and validated against source data before they touch your ERP.
Invoices are matched against purchase orders and receiving records automatically; only genuine mismatches get flagged.
Invoices route to the right approver based on amount, cost center, or vendor, with escalations if approvals stall
Discrepancies, duplicate invoices, and missing data are caught and routed for resolution instead of sitting in someone's inbox.
Status updates and clarification requests go out automatically, cutting down on "where's my payment" emails.
Approved invoices are batched and prepared for payment runs, formatted for your existing payment process.
Every action is logged, giving you a full audit trail for close, compliance, and vendor disputes without manual reconciliation.

Our approach: process-first, technology-second

Most AP automation projects fail because the technology gets selected before anyone maps how invoices actually move through the organization, including all the exceptions, workarounds, and manual approvals that never made it into the process documentation. Read our guide to the common AP automation mistakes businesses should avoid before automating their AP processes. We do it in the opposite order, across a fixed 6-8 week engagement:

Weeks 1-2

Process discovery & mapping We sit with your AP team and document how invoices actually flow today, every approval path, every exception type, and every workaround. This is where most vendors skip ahead, and it’s why their automation breaks on the exceptions nobody told them about.

Weeks 3-5

Automation build & integration We build the automation against your mapped process and integrate it with your existing ERP. Nothing gets ripped out or replaced; we work inside the systems you already run.

Weeks 6-8

Testing, stabilization & handover We run the automation in parallel with your live process, fix what needs fixing, and hand it over with documentation and training so your team owns it going forward.

Technologies & ERP Integrations

We choose the technology after we understand the process, not before. Depending on what your AP workflow needs, we draw from:

UiPath (RPA)—Robotic Process Automation, software robots that carry out rules-based, repetitive tasks like data entry and system-to-system transfers exactly the way a person would, but without the errors or the delay.
Azure AI (document intelligence)—a form of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) that reads and extracts data from invoices regardless of format or layout, so you’re not stuck maintaining templates for every vendor.
AI extraction tools—machine learning models that improve at recognizing invoice data over time, reducing manual correction as more invoices flow through the system.
Workflow orchestration—the layer that connects capture, extraction, matching, and approvals into a single automated sequence instead of disconnected point tools.
Agentic process automation—automation that can make routing and exception-handling decisions within rules you define, instead of stopping and waiting for a human every time something doesn’t match perfectly.

ERP Systems We Integrate With

Our AP automation works inside the ERP you already run, no rip-and-replace, no forced migration. We build and integrate directly with:

SAP — including SAP ECC and S/4HANA environments
Oracle — Oracle Fusion Cloud and Oracle E-Business Suite
NetSuite — native integration for cloud-first finance teams
Microsoft Dynamics — Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations and Business Central
QuickBooks — for mid-size teams running QuickBooks Online or Enterprise

Whatever ERP your finance team standardizes on, our automation works with it, not around it.

Real results

Our engagements are measured against fixed, agreed-upon outcomes — not vague efficiency promises:

40-60% reduction in manual finance work
$200K+ in annual savings for mid-size shared services teams
9,700 hours recovered annually on a single enterprise AP automation engagement
2-3x faster invoice processing time from receipt to payment-ready
73% reduction in close time for finance teams that extended automation into month-end reconciliation

Who we work with

We work best with finance teams that have outgrown manual AP processing and need it fixed without a multi-year ERP overhaul:

Enterprise finance teams processing 500+ invoices per month
Shared services centers standardizing AP across multiple business units
Global Business Services (GBS) organizations consolidating finance operations across regions

If you’re evaluating AP automation services due to invoice volume, approval bottlenecks, or close-time pressure, this is the type of team we are built for.
