Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), today announces new enhancements and updates for Sage Intacct customers globally, to streamline financial operations and enhance security worldwide.

As part of this major expansion, Sage Intacct is rolling out AP Automation globally. In the US, businesses are already processing over 10,000 bills per month using this innovative tool, which utilises AI to halve the time taken for accounts payable processes while saving organisations over $100,000 per year. AP Automation streamlines financial workflows by automatically creating draft bills from uploaded documents, promptly identifying issues such as duplicates, and significantly reducing data entry efforts and costs.

“Supporting our customers to focus on growing their business is fundamental to the technologies we are building,” said Dan Miller, EVP Financials and ERP Division at Sage. “AP Automation is a prime example of this and makes us the first mid-market solution to offer this outside of the US. What’s more, our ongoing global expansion and the achievement of significant certifications, showcases our commitment to providing globally compliant, secure, and robust financial solutions that meet the diverse needs of businesses everywhere.”
