AI-Powered AP & Approvals: Proven ROI in Weeks 

​

Kanbina delivers very high returns by removing manual work across Accounts Payable (AP) and Approvals, accelerating cycle times, and strengthening financial control—without replacing your ERP. 

 

Why Customers See Very High ROI 

​

• Up to ~69% cost reduction across AP + approvals processes (baseline vs. postautomation), driven by straightthrough processing and exception minimisation. 

• Higher accuracy & control: Intelligent document reading, linelevel coding, and auditable decisioning reduce rework at monthend. 

• Faster approvals, zero email chase: Authority schedules enforced automatically; mobile/web signoff with full ERP writeback. 

• ERPagnostic, bidirectional integration: SAP, NetSuite, Workday, Unit4, Dynamics—plus bespoke systems. 

​

Outcome: fewer touches, fewer exceptions, and cleaner ledgers—so finance closes faster with better governance. 

 

Where the Value Comes From 

​

• AP Processing 

• Invoice capture for any format; automated header + linelevel coding (projects, cost centres, tax). 

• High straightthrough throughput; unmatched edgecase handling. 

​

Approvals 

​

• Riskaware routing that respects your authority schedule. 

• Approve in email, mobile, or chat; full tracking in your ERP. 

​

Exceptions & Controls 

​

• Intelligent classification of exceptions with recommended resolutions. 

• Realtime status and analytics reduce monthend rework. 

 

How We Calculate ROI 

​

We compare the preautomation effort to the postautomation effort across six work areas: 

​

1. AP Processing 

2. Approvals Management 

3. Exceptions Handling 

4. Financial Control 

5. Metrics & Process Improvement 

6. Audit 

​

For each area we model: FTE effort × relative cost × productivity improvement. Across typical deployments, this produces a ~69% cost reduction for AP + approvals. 

Example output (typical model): Preautomation = 19.03 units → Postautomation = 5.90 units → Reduction ≈ 69%. 

Ask us for the ROI calculator and we’ll run your numbers (volumes, salaries, geographies, approval tiers) to produce a tailored business case. 

 

Customer Outcomes 

​

• Cycle time: invoices approved days faster; earlypayment discounts become practical. 

• Accuracy: fewer mismatches and monthend surprises; clean audit trail. 

• Capacity: teams redeployed from data entry to vendor and cashflow optimisation. 

 

Implementation Speed 

​

• Live in weeks: standard connectors + configuration first, then optional customisations. 

• No disruption: your ERP remains the system of record; Kanbina writes back with full traceability.
