For many years, businesses have viewed accounts payable as a routine but necessary back-office task. Invoices come in and, eventually, money goes out of the company bank account.

The status quo for AP in small and mid-market companies is broken. It consists of messy tech stacks of siloed solutions that give rise to manual work, a lack of control, wasted spend, and unnecessary risks. The benefits of shifting to spend management are tangible, measurable, and are felt across the whole organization. Spend management is a different way of thinking and an innovation whose time has come.
