Designed for enterprise-scale operations, AstuteAP structures complex invoice cycles into four distinct, high-impact functional pillars.
Stop chasing down paper trails and lost email threads. AstuteAP unifies incoming data streams into a single source of truth.
Omnichannel Capture: Automatically monitors email inboxes, vendor portal uploads, EDI, and paper channels.
Automated Inbox Monitoring: The system actively checks for new emails, reads and downloads attachments, and instantly extracts invoice data.
Direct Vendor Portal Upload: Provides a secure, vendor-facing interface with immediate file-receipt confirmation to minimize repetitive AP inquiries.
Mobile-Responsive Interface: Optimized for tablet and mobile browsers, allowing leadership to approve or resolve invoices on the move.
Legacy OCR tools stumble over changing layouts and line items. AstuteAP uses advanced LLMs that understand intent and context, not just keywords.
GenAI Capture Engine: Delivers 95% accuracy in extracting headers and line items from complex PDFs and scanned images.
Confidence Scoring: Automatically assigns a certainty percentage to every extracted field (PO, Total, Date) to clear the path for touchless processing.
Predictive GL Coding: Uses historical data trends to intelligently suggest accounting GL codes for non-PO invoice fields.
Continuous Learning: The core engine trains continuously on your specific vendor adjustments and user corrections, getting sharper with every transaction.
Enforce enterprise governance and protect your cash flow without creating operational bottlenecks.
Automated N-Way Matching: Out-of-the-box support for both 2-Way (Invoice to PO) and 3-Way matching (Invoice, PO, and Goods Receipt/GR) to accelerate touchless payments.
Fraud & Duplicate Guard: Executes instant checks for duplicate invoices, spam, and unverified suppliers, isolating phishing risks into a secure queue.
Ancillary Data Enrichment: Automatically captures sales tax, VAT, use tax, shipping costs, and freight charges, merging them directly with ERP master data.
Exception Routing & Manual Override: Automatically flags and routes pricing or quantity discrepancies directly to dedicated specialists while retaining full digital audit histories.
Achieve absolute process transparency with deep integrations that synchronize without manual file uploads.
Multi-Facet Approval Paths: Configures highly flexible routing workflows based on department boundaries, project scopes, or custom spend thresholds.
Escalation Logic: Automatically escalates idle approval tasks to management to prevent late payment fees.
Real-Time Master Data Sync: Continuous, bi-directional synchronization with your ERP’s Vendor Masters, PO Tables, and Chart of Accounts.
Automated Voucher Creation: Uses secure REST APIs to create verified vouchers directly inside PeopleSoft, JDE, EBS, or Ellucian Banner, returning the final Voucher ID to the user workspace.
Visualizing the step-by-step automated journey from multi-channel invoice ingestion
through GenAI validation to native ERP voucher generation.

AstuteAP is officially featured by Oracle as a premier Generative AI reference architecture for ERP invoice automation.
AstuteAP introduces domain-trained AI functionality that acts less like software and more like an assistant.
| Digital Assistant | Technical Capability | Business Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Language Interface | Allows users to query complex invoice, payment, and history records using conversational English. | Eliminates the need for running custom SQL queries or manual data-digging. |
| AI Recommendation Engine | Generates real-time, context-aware suggestions on the Workbench screen to auto-correct matching anomalies. | Accelerates resolution times by allowing human operators to accept fixes with a single click. |
| Enterprise LLM Tuning | Provides secure, isolated LLM prompt training directly on your custom corporate policies and accounting ledger history. | Ensures the AI adopts your unique business logic safely and accurately. |
We build software for regulated, high-volume environments where security cannot be compromised.
Identity Management: Full out-of-the-box compatibility with SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Airtight Encryption: Built on Oracle 23ai Autonomous Database infrastructure featuring Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) to protect data both at rest and in transit.
Granular Access Control: Role-based security permissions mapped precisely between Admins, Users, and Suppliers.
Total Transparency Logging: Captures time-stamped digital audit logs for every user action, AI recommendation, and email correspondence.
Auto-Scaling Architecture: Cloud infrastructure scales computational resources dynamically during intense period-end close windows or seasonal invoice spikes.

Legacy OCR relies on rigid templates and keyword mapping; if a vendor modifies their invoice layout, the template breaks. AstuteAP’s GenAI Capture Engine reads invoices contextually, adapting to multi-language variations, distinct line-item arrangements, and scanned images with a consistent 95% data extraction accuracy.
Yes. AstuteAP includes customizable workflows and multi-facet routing. You can easily modify approval trees based on spending limits, project codes, or internal department logic while enforcing automated escalation rules to keep operations moving.
The platform runs automated, out-of-the-box duplicate checks against incoming invoice strings, vendor names, and existing ERP tables before records ever enter your ledger. Additionally, an anomaly detection queue isolates unrecognized or suspicious supplier domains to prevent phishing and fraud attempts.
No. AstuteAP is cloud-native and utilizes pre-built secure REST APIs to communicate directly with PeopleSoft, EBS, JD Edwards, and Ellucian Banner. It continuously syncs with your live charts of accounts and vendor master files without needing heavy custom code or internal IT infrastructure support.
