Listra.ai is the first AP platform that captures, matches & resolves every invoice — including the 25% that break other tools — then syncs it all to your ERP.
of invoices at mid-sized companies arrive as PDFs or paper
become exceptions that stall payment, drain headcount, and invite fraud
Legacy 'AP automation' only digitises data entry; clerks still chase mismatches, approvals, and vendors by hand.
Manual AP vs. Listra.ai
| Stage | Manual Process | Listra |
|---|---|---|
| Detection | Notices mismatch after data entry | Flags in real time at ingestion |
| Verification | Opens invoice, PO, GR, contract in multiple systems | Cross-checks PO, GR & contract automatically |
| Internal Communication | Emails/Slacks budget owners for clarification | Pings right approver automatically |
| Vendor Outreach | Drafts email asking supplier to revise invoice | Sends vendor email with fix or short-pays |
| Resolution | Manually edits PO/invoice, re-submits for approval | Applies fix, updates ERP, logs audit trail |
| Time Cost | 15–30 min per exception | Seconds (auto) or < 2 min (guided) |
