AI-NATIVE AUTOMATION FOR THE CFO
Finance may be complex. Your automation shouldn't be.
Your AP process sits at the centre of cash flow, compliance, and supplier relationships. You need visibility across all of it, controls that hold up under scrutiny, and confidence that your automation fits your reality. SoftCo gives you that.

THE CHALLENGE
Your AP function is a financial risk you fund
Manual AP processes do not just cost money. They create exposure. Fraud that scales with invoice volume. Decisions made on stale data. A finance team stuck reconciling the past instead of planning for what comes next. These are not operational inconveniences. They are CFO-level liabilities.
Fraud scales with volume
Duplicate invoices. Unverified bank details. Unapproved spend. The more manual your AP, the wider the exposure. Most organisations find it after the damage is done.
Volume grows, headcount doesn’t
Every new supplier, entity, and market adds invoices. Headcount rarely follows. Your team absorbs the load until control and accuracy start to slip.
Decisions run onstale data
If liabilities, accruals, and payment status rely on manual consolidation, you’re managing cash in the rearview mirror. Every close. Every report. Every board pack.
AP AUTOMATION FOR THE CFO
Automate for financial control, across every entity
SoftCo is AP automation built for the complexity you actually have. Multi-ERP, multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction. Configured around your approval chains, your compliance rules, and your reporting structure. Not a template applied to your business. A system that fits it. Where other AP automation handles the straightforward invoices, SoftCo handles those and the exceptions, queries, and edge cases that consume your team's time and create your risk exposure.
THE SOFTCO DIFFERENCE
What automation delivers for a CFO
You’re not choosing software. You’re deciding whether this investment gives you the visibility to govern cash flow, the controls to reduce financial risk, and a return you can put in front of the board. Four outcomes. All measurable.
Financial visibility across every entity
See liabilities, accruals, and payment status across every entity and ERP in one view. No manual consolidation. No month-end surprises. Your finance function reports from a single source of truth.
Fraud and risk controls that hold up under audit
Automated policy enforcement, full audit trails, and certified security controls. Every transaction is traceable. Every decision is documented. SOC 2 Type II certified. RiskRecon 9.9/10.
More throughput without more headcount
Handle growing invoice volumes with your current team. Automated matching, coding, and exception routing reduce manual work. Your AP function scales with the business, not with headcount.
Built to scale through M&A growth
New entities, new ERPs, new jurisdictions. SoftCo adapts to structural change without rebuilding your automation. Add complexity without adding risk.
YOUR SOFTCO EXPERIENCE
The view your Monday morning is missing
This is what your AP operation looks like inside SoftCo. Liabilities, accruals, payment status, processing metrics, and exception volumes across every entity and ERP. Not a report someone builds for you at month-end. A view you open whenever you need it. One source of truth for your finance function, available before anyone asks for it.

FAQ
Frequently askedquestions
Most AP automation fails because it is built for a generic process and then forced onto a specific one. SoftCo starts differently. We begin with your financial architecture: your ERPs, your entities, your approval chains, your exceptions. The automation is configured to fit that, not the other way around. Over 20 years and more than a million users, we have retained the vast majority of our customers because the fit holds.
Most customers see measurable impact within 12 months. Processing cost per invoice drops as matching and coding automate. Early payment discounts become capturable. Headcount pressure eases as volume per person increases.
SoftCo connects to all ERP platforms through our iPaaS integration layer, powered by Boomi. Integration is scoped and delivered as part of the implementation, not left as your IT team's problem. For more detail, see our ERP Integration page.
SOC 2 Type II. ISO 27001. Mastercard RiskRecon 9.9/10 for data security. Tenantized architecture with data isolation by design. Every transaction is logged, traceable, and auditable.
Yes. SoftCo uses AI and machine learning models across invoice capture, matching, and coding. Over 130,000 models learn from your data and improve with every invoice processed. AI decisions are governed by confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop controls, so automation never acts without appropriate oversight.
