AP Automation Software & Solution, built in Canada

AP automation replaces the manual handling of supplier invoices with software that captures, reads, validates, approves and records them automatically. Viridem is an accounts payable automation solution designed and built in Canada, combining OCR, AI and human oversight so your team stops keying invoices and starts deciding.

What is AP automation?

AP automation, short for accounts payable automation, is the use of software to process supplier invoices end to end with little to no manual data entry. A complete AP automation solution chains five steps: it captures the invoice in any format, reads the data with OCR + AI, validates it through three-way matching against the purchase order and receiving, routes it through the right approval workflow, and records it directly in your accounting software or ERP.

How AP automation software works

1. Capture every invoice, whatever the format (PDF, photo, email, EDI).
2. Read the data automatically with OCR and AI, no manual keying.
3. Validate through three-way matching (invoice, purchase order, receiving) and duplicate control.
4. Approve along a clear workflow, with reminders and escalation.
5. Record the result straight into your ERP or accounting software.

The 5 to 15% of exceptions go to a human with full context. That is the principle behind Viridem's AP automation software: AI handles the volume, people keep the judgment.

The benefits of accounts payable automation

• 15% of invoices contain an error on average (CEPS, 2024), AP automation catches them before payment.
• Up to US$53 to correct a single data-entry error (Institute of Finance & Management, IOFM).
• 17.4 days to process an invoice on average, versus 3.1 days for the most automated teams (Ardent Partners, 2025).

An accounts payable automation solution recovers that gap: fewer errors, faster cycles, captured early-payment discounts, and full visibility on cash out.
