What is accounts payable software?

Accounts payable software helps businesses manage and automate the process of receiving, approving, and paying invoices. Instead of handling approvals through email and spreadsheets, AP software automates data entry, routes approvals faster, and keeps a clear record of all actions.

What are the key features to look for in accounts payable software?

The key features to look for in an AP software are:

Automated invoicing: to create purchase requests and track vendor credits

Flexible workflows: to create workflows that match your reporting structure and approval steps

Custom approval workflows: to create rules based on departments’ spend types and GL categories

Automatic transaction matching: to automate 2-, 3-, or even 4-way matching without using templates

AI and smart automations: to save hours of manual work with AI features like AI invoice monitoring, AI duplicate detection, AI prioritization, and AI journal-entry creation

Bonus tip: the software should be easy to set up without requiring months of onboarding.

What is the best accounts payable automation software?

There’s not a single “best” accounts payable automation software, as finding the right match depends on your company size, your team structure, the complexity of your workflows, and your industry.

For lean, fast-moving finance teams—especially those in mid-market B2B companies—DualEntry is the smartest choice. It’s built to eliminate manual AP work through AI-powered routing, live insights, and cutting out manual data entry. Unlike legacy tools for enterprises, DualEntry is easy to implement, adapts to your workflows, and can be set up in weeks, not months.

How does accounts payable software improve efficiency?

Accounts payable software improves efficiency by automating repetitive and manual tasks like chasing approvals, re-entering invoice data, and tracking payments. It does this by keeping everything in one place. When an invoice comes in, it’s automatically routed and synced with your systems without any back-and-forth time-wasting. This means you’ll spend less time sending reminders, fixing human errors, or wondering what’s next. You can focus on the details that really matter, like cash flow, reporting, and staying ahead of the close.

How do I choose the right accounts payable software for my business?

To choose the right accounts payable software for your business, you should first decide exactly what you want to improve.

Are you aiming to speed up invoice approvals? Reduce manual data entry? Get better visibility into spend?

The right AP software should solve the issues that hold your team back. Once you're clear on the direction you want to go in, look for a solution that fits your workflow. You shouldn't change your workflow to match your new AP software, but rather pick one that has the flexibility to align with the way you work.
