Still processing invoices manually and chasing approvals?

You’re not alone.

Many ANZ finance teams still process invoices manually — a time-consuming, error-prone approach that exposes businesses to fraud and compliance risks. 

According to APQC’s Accounts Payable Benchmarks, it takes an average of 8.6 days to manually process a single invoice. Multiply that by hundreds of invoices a month, and the cost quickly adds up. 

With ProSpend’s advanced Accounts Payable automation, you can:

Get 100% accuracy, verified by local experts

ProSpend has been a market leader in delivering an uncompromising invoice extraction service with HITL.  

HITL machine learning can be thought of as attended machine learning and it allows us to guarantee 100% accuracy on invoice data extraction. Without the HITL model, every time an exception is received it will require manual data entry by the finance team and because the machine is not trained, low accuracy rates will continue.

That’s just not a complete service. Document exceptions are handled by ProSpend within our end-to-end process and this process is managed entirely by our team.

"ProSpend delivers a system that achieves the perfect harmony between the work of machines and that of people; the more you use it, the smarter it gets."

FAQs

Category 1: Core AP Automation Understanding

What does AP automation mean for Australian finance teams?

AP automation replaces manual invoice entry, coding and approvals with a digital workflow that captures, routes and posts invoices straight into your ERP. For ANZ organisations, this reduces errors, supports GST compliance and makes it easier to meet 14-day supplier payment expectations. ProSpend adds approval controls, audit trails and consistent coding across multi-entity setups.

How does ProSpend AP Automation work with our existing ERP?

ProSpend integrates directly with Xero, MYOB, NetSuite, Business Central and Acumatica, exporting approved invoices with the correct tax codes, entities and dimensions. You keep your existing chart of accounts and workflows and ProSpend simply adds the front-end automation layer. The result is accurate postings without rekeying data.

Is AP automation suitable for smaller finance teams?

Yes. Even teams processing 200–500 invoices a month benefit from reduced manual work and fewer approval delays. Smaller teams often gain the most time savings because AP automation removes repetitive tasks they normally juggle on top of other responsibilities.

Category 2: Controls, Compliance & Risk

How does ProSpend support GST accuracy?

ProSpend applies ATO-aligned GST logic and ensures every invoice is coded correctly at the line level. Duplicate detection, validation rules and audit trails reduce GST rounding issues and remove the risk of misclassified expenses. This improves BAS preparation and reduces review time for auditors.

Can ProSpend help us meet internal or government 14-day invoice payment rules?

Yes. Automated routing, reminders and exception handling keep invoices moving, helping councils, NFPs and government-funded entities meet mandated payment windows. Finance teams gain visibility over stuck approvals before they become overdue.

Does ProSpend support multi-entity and multi-location organisations?

Absolutely. Multi-entity coding, approval routing and ledger mapping are core features. ProSpend keeps entities cleanly separated while allowing shared services teams to process everything in one platform.

How does ProSpend reduce fraud or duplicate invoice risk?

Invoices are checked for duplicates, supplier irregularities and data anomalies before approval. Role-based permissions and workflow controls help prevent unauthorised spend, and all activity is logged in an immutable audit trail.

Category 3: Features & Workflow

Can ProSpend handle purchase orders and match them to invoices?

Yes. ProSpend supports two-way and three-way matching across POs, invoices and receipts. This ensures invoices only progress when quantity, price and supplier details align, reducing disputes and budget blowouts.

What invoice formats does ProSpend capture?

Invoices can be submitted by email, upload, drag-and-drop or eInvoice. ProSpend’s OCR extracts all key data, including line items, GST amounts and supplier details, reducing the need for manual correction.

How does ProSpend manage approval workflows?

Approvals can be based on roles, departments, dollar thresholds or entities. Approvers receive notifications on web or mobile, and finance always sees the real-time status of every invoice.

Category 4: Implementation & Integrations

How long does AP automation implementation take?

Implementation timelines vary by module. Most mid-market organizations can be up and running within 2 weeks, though this depends on factors like entity count, approval workflow complexity, PO adoption scope, and ERP integration requirements.

Do we need to change our chart of accounts?

No. ProSpend maps directly to your existing coding structure in Xero, MYOB, NetSuite, Business Central or Acumatica. This keeps downstream reporting unchanged.

Can ProSpend work alongside our existing purchasing or expense tools?

Yes. ProSpend can operate as a standalone AP module or as part of the broader platform (POs, Expenses, Cards, Budgets). Where teams already use other systems, ProSpend becomes the AP layer that feeds clean, coded data into the ERP.

Category 5: Pricing, Support & Fit

How is ProSpend AP Automation priced?

Pricing is tailored based on invoice volume, entities, modules and support needs. ANZ NFPs, councils and member-based organisations often qualify for specific pricing considerations. Explore more on pricing here.

What support does ProSpend provide after go-live?

Your team receives ongoing access to Australian-based support, training resources and customer success guidance. Most organisations remain self-sufficient because workflows, users and fields are easy to manage internally.
