AI & Touchless Processing Capability
Basware's AI engine delivers industry-leading touchless processing rates, with customers routinely achieving 60-80% STP (straight-through processing) for compliant invoices. The platform employs supervised machine learning that improves accuracy over time per supplier and document type.
Invoice Capture Intelligence
The platform captures invoices from email, portals, EDI, e-invoicing networks (Peppol, SDI, Chorus Pro, ZATCA), and scanned documents with multi-language OCR. Intelligent document classification (invoice vs. credit note vs. statement) and continuous learning OCR per supplier differentiate Basware from point-capture solutions.
Workflow Flexibility
Basware offers highly configurable multi-level approval routing, threshold-based rules, parallel and sequential paths, and business rules engines for custom validation. Delegation and proxy support, combined with role-based access, enable complex organizational hierarchies and exception handling.
ERP Integration Depth
Native connectors to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, and Microsoft Dynamics allow for tight GL posting, cost-center allocation, and real-time PO/receipt data exchange. REST APIs and webhooks support custom integrations and third-party ecosystem connectivity.
Global Compliance & Tax Support
The platform validates VAT, GST, withholding tax, and sales tax across multiple jurisdictions. It supports global e-invoicing standards (Peppol, SDI, Chorus Pro, ZATCA) and multi-entity cross-border payment processing, making it suitable for multinational enterprises.
Autonomous AP / AI Agent Readiness
Basware's AI foundation enables continuous data extraction improvement and rule-based automation that approaches autonomous processing. The platform is positioned as a precursor to autonomous AP through its touchless processing and intelligent exception routing; however, it does not yet offer an autonomous agent interface or RPA-style bot automation.
