AI-powered automation will save AP teams hours every week and will reduce payment fraud risk.
Airbase, the leading procure-to-pay solution for mid-market and larger organizations, is excited to announce a new era in financial operations with its launch of AI-powered Touchless AP (accounts payable). Digital transformation remains a top priority for 79% of finance leaders in 2024 according to Gartner. Yet, despite the availability of AP automation solutions, finance teams continue to struggle with manual, time-consuming processes that prevent them from focusing on high-value strategic work, as highlighted by IDC. Airbase’s new Touchless AP system addresses these frustrations by fully automating the entire AP lifecycle — from vendor onboarding to reconciliation — freeing finance teams to focus on business growth.
“One of my founding principles at Airbase has been to rigorously apply the most advanced technology in building our procure-to-pay solution,” said Thejo Kote, Founder and CEO of Airbase. “But we don’t leverage technology for its own sake. Our goal is to use these advancements to help finance teams streamline the complex and risk-filled AP process, allowing them to focus on higher-value strategic work.”
