AI & Touchless Processing Capability
Basware markets its 'SmartPDF' and AI-driven capture along with autonomous AP capabilities, and publicly claims customers achieving 90%+ touchless processing rates. Its AI is trained on the company's own multi-billion invoice dataset from the Basware Network, giving it a strong supplier-specific learning advantage. In 2024 Basware launched AP Agents — purpose-built AI agents for coding, matching and exception handling.
Invoice Capture Intelligence
Basware ingests invoices via PDF, email, scan, EDI, cXML/XML and true e-invoicing through the Basware Network, which connects to Peppol and 220+ interoperability partners. SmartPDF converts unstructured PDFs into structured e-invoice data without supplier-side effort, a key differentiator vs pure OCR tools. Header and line-item extraction are continuously improved per supplier.
Workflow Flexibility
Configurable multi-level, parallel and sequential approval routing with thresholds by entity, cost centre, GL, project and amount. Supports delegation, escalation and out-of-office logic, plus a business rules engine for custom validations. Workflows are administered through a no-code configuration UI.
ERP Integration Depth
Basware has SAP-certified integration (including S/4HANA add-on) and certified or productised connectors for Oracle EBS, Oracle Cloud ERP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday Financials, Infor, Unit4 and NetSuite. Multi-ERP customers can run a single AP platform across heterogeneous backends, which is a key reason large multinationals select Basware.
Supplier Experience & Portal
The Basware Network is one of the largest open business networks in AP, with millions of connected suppliers and free supplier-side invoice submission via portal, PDF email or e-invoice. Suppliers do not pay transaction fees on the network, which accelerates onboarding compared to closed networks.
Global Compliance & Tax Support
Basware provides e-invoicing compliance in 70+ countries, covering Peppol, Chorus Pro, SDI, ZATCA, KSeF, CFDI, MyInvois and other mandates, with continuous updates as regulations evolve. It is recognised by Gartner and IDC as a leader in global e-invoicing compliance. Tax validation supports VAT, GST, withholding and sales tax with country-specific rules.
Exception Handling Capability
Exceptions are auto-categorised (price, quantity, missing PO, tax, duplicate) and routed via configurable rules to AP, buyers or suppliers. Supplier communication for discrepancy resolution can be triggered directly from the exception workflow. Root-cause analytics are surfaced via Basware Analytics.
Analytics & AP Insights
Basware Analytics provides pre-built dashboards on cycle time, touchless rate, exception reasons, DPO, accruals and supplier behaviour, benchmarked against Basware Network peers. Customers can drill into supplier-level performance and exception root causes. Benchmarking against anonymised network data is a notable differentiator.
Scalability & Performance
Basware processes over 200 million invoices annually across its customer base and supports customers running millions of invoices per year on a single tenant. The cloud platform supports multi-entity, multi-ERP, multi-country deployments with shared service centre operating models. Performance is proven at Fortune 500 / FTSE 100 scale.
Autonomous AP / AI Agent Readiness
In 2024 Basware introduced 'AP Agents' — AI agents for coding, matching, exception resolution and supplier communication — positioning the platform toward autonomous AP. Combined with its long-standing AI capture and the Basware Network data moat, it is one of the more credible vendors on the autonomous AP roadmap. Agents are productised within the existing AP Automation suite rather than a separate SKU.
AI & Touchless Processing Capability
Jaggaer uses machine learning for OCR-based header and line-item extraction, invoice auto-classification, and intelligent matching. The platform supports high straight-through-processing (STP) rates for invoices with clear PO linkage, though more complex exceptions still require human review.
Invoice Capture Intelligence
Supports multiple ingestion channels (email, PDF, EDI, cXML, supplier portal, mobile photo) with AI-powered data extraction. Continuous learning OCR improves accuracy per supplier over time, and fuzzy-matching duplicate detection reduces rework.
Workflow Flexibility
Highly configurable multi-level approval routing with threshold-based rules, parallel/sequential paths, delegation, and proxy management. Business rules engine allows custom validation logic without code, making workflows adaptable to complex organizational hierarchies.
ERP Integration Depth
Native, pre-built connectors to SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Workday, and others enable direct GL posting, PO retrieval, and goods-receipt matching. Integration depth supports 3-way matching and contract-term validation, reducing manual reconciliation.
Supplier Experience & Portal
Supplier self-service portal for invoice submission, reducing email and paper-based processes. Portal supports bulk uploads and provides transparency into payment status, improving supplier relationships.
Global Compliance & Tax Support
Built-in tax validation for VAT, GST, withholding, and sales tax across major jurisdictions. Supports e-invoicing standards (Peppol, SDI, Chorus Pro, ZATCA) and regulatory compliance (GDPR, SOX, OFAC screening).
Exception Handling Capability
Comprehensive exception management with auto-categorization (price variance, quantity mismatch, PO missing, tax error, duplicate), intelligent routing, and supplier communication workflows. Root-cause analytics track exception trends and driver patterns.
Analytics & AP Insights
Built-in reporting on cycle time, exception rates, cost per invoice, DPO trends, and supplier performance. Dashboards provide visibility into approval bottlenecks and processing metrics; supports custom KPI tracking.
Scalability & Performance
Cloud-native architecture supports high-volume invoice processing with minimal performance degradation. Multi-tenant design allows cost-effective scaling; infrastructure handles enterprise workloads across geographies.
Autonomous AP / AI Agent Readiness
Roadmap includes expansion of autonomous capabilities; current platform supports AI-driven data extraction and intelligent matching, with potential for further automation as vendor develops agentic workflows and decision logic.

Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises across industries with a significant share in the ~$1bn to $5bn range (mid-market)
