Accounts Payable Automation with Azure AI: Intelligent Large Volume Invoice Processing

by Persepta

Automate invoice processing with Azure AI to extract, validate, and route payables into your ERP.

Manual AP processes are slow, error-prone, and expensive. If your team still keys in invoice data, chases approvals over email, or loses visibility into payables — it's time to fix it.

This solution uses Azure AI Document Intelligence to extract data from PDFs and scanned invoices, validate it against ERP systems, and route it through automated approvals. Whether you're using Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, or another ERP, this solution modernizes AP from end to end.

🧾 PDF invoice in → AI extraction → Validation → Approval → ERP-ready entry

Deployed in your cloud, integrated with your business rules, and ready to scale.
