Proactis Accounts Payable Automation vs Tradeshift

Proactis Accounts Payable Automation captures invoices, checks them against purchasing and supplier records, and routes them to a finance system for approval and payment. It handles paper, PDF, XML, and electronic invoices, including submissions through a portal or PO Flip. OCR converts invoice documents into structured eInvoices. The system can flag duplicates, missing purchase order numbers, and mismatches; invoices that need attention are routed with the original document, linked purchase order, and discrepancy details. Invoices that pass validation and matching can move to the finance system without manual intervention. Proactis says its AI learns from customer data over time, increasing the share processed straight through. The product supports multiple entities and names integrations including SAP, Unit4, Infor, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Workday, MRI, NetSuite, Epicor, and Deltek. Processed invoice data is visible in real time and feeds spend analysis, cashflow forecasting, and supplier performance reporting. It is web-based, with pricing available on request. Proactis describes its solutions as aimed at mid-market, service-led public and private sector organisations.
