Accounts payable automation

Every supplier invoice, checked and ready for your ERP. Without the manual rework.

Two- and three-way matching

Configurable approvals

ERP-ready invoice data

The Netfira Platform captures invoices in the formats suppliers already send, validates the data, matches invoices against purchase orders and goods receipts, and applies your approval workflows. Clean invoices move forward automatically. Exceptions go to the right person with the information needed to resolve them.

Invoice capture is only part of the work.

Invoices arrive by email, PDF, e-invoice, portal export and other channels. Once the data is captured, AP teams still have to check suppliers, totals, tax and line items, reconcile invoices against purchase orders and receipts, identify exceptions, request approvals and transfer information into finance systems.

Estimate your savings

When those checks rely on manual work, invoice volumes create delays, rework and less time for the exceptions that really matter.

Repeated validation

AP teams check the same reference data, amounts and line items across multiple systems.

Approvals that stall

Price variances, missing receipts or policy thresholds require follow-up and visibility.

Corrections downstream

Incomplete or incorrect information creates posting delays and extra work.

How it works

From incoming invoice to validated, approval-ready ERP data.

Netfira brings capture, matching, controls, approvals and structured ERP delivery into one configurable invoice workflow.

Netfira extracts invoice data, validates it against supplier and business rules, matches it to purchase orders and goods receipts where applicable, sends exceptions or approvals to the correct person and exports approved data for ERP processing.

Show us how your invoices arrive, what needs to be matched and where approvals slow the process. We will walk through how the Netfira Platform could automate the work from capture to ERP.

Built for AP operations

Everything that happens after extraction matters.

Netfira goes beyond reading invoices to handle the matching, decisions and controls required before invoice data reaches your finance system.

Two- and three-way matching

Compare invoices with purchase orders and goods receipts at line level. Apply tolerances to price and quantity differences and identify mismatches for review.

Approvals built around your rules

Route invoices according to thresholds, supplier, business unit, cost centre or other defined conditions. Keep approval decisions visible and documented.

Coding, enrichment and validation

Use business rules and available master data to validate supplier references, allocate relevant codes and prepare consistent downstream data.

Exceptions with full context

Give AP users the original invoice, related transactions and the reason a document needs attention. Resolve issues in a controlled workspace instead of chasing them through email.

What changes

Reduce processing work without reducing financial control.

Automate routine invoices while retaining clear oversight of the ones that need finance judgement.

Outcome

Netfira

Manual processing

Processing effort

Less manual processing

Reduce repetitive keying, checking and routing so AP can handle volume without equivalent growth in administrative effort.

Repeated validation

AP teams check the same reference data, amounts and line items across multiple systems.

Approvals

Faster approval cycles

Move compliant invoices forward quickly and direct policy breaches, missing information and variances to the appropriate reviewer.

Approvals that stall

Price variances, missing receipts or policy thresholds require follow-up and visibility.

ERP data

More reliable ERP data

Apply validation and matching before export, helping reduce corrections and downstream reconciliation work.

Corrections downstream

Incomplete or incorrect information creates posting delays and extra work.

Audit trail

A clearer audit trail

Keep document context, workflow status, changes and approval decisions visible throughout processing.

Decisions in inboxes

Issues chased through email leave checks and approvals harder to trace afterwards.

Controlled automation

Straight through when it matches. Reviewed when it doesn't.

Consider a supplier invoice that matches its purchase order and goods receipt, except for a unit price above your approved tolerance. Netfira identifies the specific line, flags the variance and routes the invoice for approval. The reviewer sees the invoice, the reference transaction and the reason it was held — without having to reconstruct the issue manually.

One platform, connected document flows

Invoices do not exist in isolation.

Purchase orders, supplier confirmations, shipping notices and receipts provide the information needed to validate an invoice. The Netfira Platform can automate related supplier document flows alongside AP, helping create more consistent transaction data across procurement and finance.

Invoices

Capture, validate, match, approve and prepare invoice data for ERP processing.

Credit notes

Capture supplier credit documents and route the relevant checks.

Order confirmations

Identify supplier changes to the original purchase order earlier in the process.

Shipping notices

Structure supplier shipment information to support connected receiving and matching workflows.

Integration

Fit automation around your existing finance processes.

Netfira delivers validated transaction data to your ERP, P2P or finance environment through a configured integration. Your organisation defines the approval conditions, tolerances and routing rules. The result is less manual document handling without losing control over how invoices are checked and passed downstream.
