Overview

Product Information on SoftCo AP Automation

Updated 13th October 2025

What is SoftCo AP Automation?

SoftCo AP Automation is a software designed to streamline and manage accounts payable processes for organizations. The software automates invoice capture, validation, and approval workflows, reducing manual data entry and minimizing errors. It enables electronic invoice processing, matching invoices to purchase orders and contracts, and supports compliance with financial regulations.

A fantastic tool for large volume AP processing with quite impressive AI component making the touchless processing a not so distant reality.

“Customization/Implementation team is good, but Reporting tools are sub par. ”

It seems like the folks who provide support for the product don't know much about the out of the box functionality. Many times support has to escalate the issue or question in order to determine capabilities or answers on the out of the box functionality. Also, the reporting provided is not very helpful with driving improvements or allowing deep analysis of how our Source to Pay group is performing.

Performance of SoftCo AP Automation Across Market Features

SoftCo AP Automation Likes & Dislikes

Like

ERP integration - broad spectrum and easy roll out. Very high automation levels - many driven by AI layer - allowed the organisation to achieve substantial automation level increases (over 20% increase compared to the previous tool). Sofistication of the product - allows to overcome complexities of global large organisation - both geographical and process-related.

Like

The Integration team is able to provide customizations that help with our processing of invoices. These customizations are usually provided in very timely manner.

Like

User Interface Speed Pricing

Dislike

Well, any benefit has it's equivalent - for example, product sofistication mentioned above comes with a relatively extended learning curve. It also results in an interface which is not easy to navigate from day 1. AI capabilities do improve the automation levels, but may result - very infrequently - in some classification errors.

Dislike

The reporting provided is very poor. There is no way to pull data trends on auto-matching, days on hold, paid on time, etc. When we are looking at invoices in our user's queues for approval, we can't even deep dive. There is one column titled Others which you can't pull. The same goes for Neglected Invoices by Users. Without being able to pull this information there is no way for us to drive our users to complete their tasks. Overall, there should be much more intuitive KPIs and reporting dashboards.

Dislike

Support Team lack of flexibility Filtering
