AP AUTOMATION FOR AVIATION

AP automation built for aviation reality

Aviation AP teams manage one of the most complex invoice mixes in any industry. PO-backed parts and fuel, contract-based lease payments, non-PO services across jurisdictions and currencies. SoftCo is configured around that complexity, not a simplified version of it.

THE CHALLENGE

Volume isn’t your problem.
Complexity is.

Every invoice type in aviation carries its own rules. PO matching for parts. Contract validation for leases. Multi-currency processing across entities. When AP tries to handle that mix manually, the function becomes the bottleneck, not the process.

No single workflow fits

MRO parts matched to POs. Fuel against contracts. Lease payments on fixed schedules. Catering per flight. Each needs different matching logic, approvals, and controls. Manual AP can’t flex. Backlogs build. Accruals become guesswork. The team shifts from processing to firefighting.

Multi-entity,multi-currency

Aviation doesn’t operate in one country or currency. AP processes across all of them, while maintaining entity-level control, local compliance, and consolidated reporting.

Compliance thatcompounds

Compliance doesn’t stay contained. It compounds across entities, jurisdictions, and transactions. Every invoice needs a complete audit trail. Gaps become risks.

AP AUTOMATION FOR AVIATION

One platform for aviation complexity

SoftCo is built for AP environments where complexity is the operating condition, not an edge case. Configured to your ERP landscape, your approval hierarchies, and the specific invoice types your operation generates.

AI Matching for invoice types

PO invoices matched automatically using per-supplier AI models. Non-PO invoices coded and routed by learned rules. Different logic per category, managed from one platform.

Multi-entity, multi-currency coding & processing

Invoices processed in their originating entity and currency. Entity-level controls maintained. Consolidated reporting across the full operation without manual reconciliation.

Configurable approval workflows

Fleet operations, MRO, corporate, ground services. Each with its own approval logic, thresholds, and escalation paths. Changes made without development work.

Complete audit trail

From capture to payment, every invoice carries a full audit trail. Approval decisions, exception resolutions, routing logic. Retrievable on demand for any audit or regulatory review.
