AI-Powered Accounts Payable

From purchase order to payment, automated

APHubNet is the only SME AP platform that covers the full procure-to-pay cycle — raise POs, auto-route for approval by value, capture invoices with AI, match them to approved POs, and sync to your accounting software. All without a spreadsheet.

✦ Rarely found in SME software

Full procure-to-pay, built in

Most AP tools only handle invoices. APHubNet starts earlier — at the purchase order — so every invoice is validated against an approved commitment before it's ever paid.

📝
01

Department raises a PO

Any team member submits a purchase request with supplier, items and estimated value. No emails, no spreadsheets.

🔀
02

Auto-routed by approval matrix

APHubNet checks the PO value against your approval matrix and instantly routes to the correct approver — line manager, department head, or CFO.

📱
03

Approver notified on mobile

One-tap approve or reject from any device. Delegation rules kick in automatically if the approver is out of office.

🔗
04

Invoice auto-matched to PO

When the invoice arrives — by email, upload or e-invoice — APHubNet matches it to the approved PO on vendor, amount and line items. Discrepancies are flagged instantly.

💸
05

Straight-through processing

Matched invoices within tolerance are auto-approved and posted to your accounting software. Only exceptions need human review.

Example Approval Matrix

👤Line Manager
£0 – £500
👥Department Head
£501 – £2,500
🏦Finance Director
£2,501 – £10,000
🏢CFO / Board
£10,001+

Thresholds, approvers and delegation rules are fully configurable per department.

Instant routing

PO reaches the right approver in under 1 second

🔒

Zero leakage

Nothing gets paid without a matching approved PO
