It does so by streamlining the work involved in receiving, validating, approving, reviewing and paying suppliers’ invoices. AP Agility improves visibility of the entire AP automation process, ensuring compliance to regulation and internal rules/procedures, and helps Kofax customers manage cash flow better.
 
Smart Multichannel Invoice Capture & Validation Beginning with the smart capture of supplier invoices, regardless of how they are received, what currency they must be converted to, and in what format, Kofax AP Agility delivers a crisp, clear digital image of all invoices to everyone who needs them. AP Agility transforms all invoice information, including header, supplier, line item and totals data, into digital formats ready for automated processing.

Kofax AP Agility delivers five capabilities critical to AP automation excellence:

Automates the Multichannel Capture of Invoices
Enabling Kofax customers to accept invoices through paper, fax, email, EDI, XML and mobile channels, delivering high quality digital images for use throughout AP processing. It also efficiently extracts and validates supplier, header, line item and amount data, so that AP workflows can be automatically driven by that information.

Additional ERP integration is planned in future versions either out-of-the-box or through integration specification documentation.
 
End to End Analytics
Providing insight into productivity, invoice status, removing bottlenecks, cash management and compliance.
