The end-to-end flow

Intake

Employee requests to buy something via a guided catalog.

Source

Find or onboard a supplier; run the sourcing event.

Procure

Create the purchase order and route approvals.

Receive

Confirm goods/services were delivered.

Pay

Ingest the invoice, match it, and pay accurately.

AI does the paperwork. Accounts Payable Operations uses document intelligence to read invoices, match them to purchase orders, and flag exceptions, turning a manual, error-prone task into an exception-only review.

Why it belongs on the platform

Procurement touches every department, so a shared catalog intake and flow-based approvals mean employees buy through one familiar front door while finance keeps control and visibility.
