What is AP Automation?
AP Automation uses software to digitise the invoice process for a faster, more cost-effective AP workflow.
Automated invoice processing means no more paper, no more duplicates, and no more manual tasks for faster payments.
With Dynamic Data Capture technology and full integration with your finance systems, your digitised invoices will always be in reach and available for payment.

What Our Customers Think
We wanted to grow through acquisition while reducing the need for hiring staff, mundane work like processing supplier invoices. Kefron AP extracts 99% of the data first time off accounts payable supplier invoices.”
Tomasz Sobczyk
IT Project Manager
Kingspan Insulated Panels
Our invoices flow automatically through the process and arrive coded in “approval in progress”! We use “live data” and this is where the Kefron AP really comes into its own as this is not something we could have done with a paper-based invoicing system.”
Rhys Cousins
Finance Project Officer
Wales & West Housing
Kefron AP allows our finance team to focus on more value add activities. The API connection with AccountsIQ streamlines what was previously a very ‘key-stroke heavy’ process. It also provides management with additional real-time data analytics and insight into creditor days and payment terms at a click of a button.”
