PLATFORM · PAYABLES & ACCOUNTING OPERATIONS

Bills that post themselves — under your rules.

Vendor bills, journal entries, recurring postings and payment batches run as governed transactions on a real double-entry ledger. Your team approves what policy says needs approving; agents do the extraction, matching, posting and chasing.

HOW IT ACTUALLY RUNS

From inbox to paid, one governed trace.

01ARRIVE
A bill lands in the Finance Inbox
Forwarded by email, dropped in chat, or synced from a connected system — classified and routed automatically.
02EXTRACT
Lines, VAT and vendor are read
Amounts, tax treatment and expense accounts are extracted and checked against your vendor master data — new vendors become proposals, never silent records.
03VALIDATE
Dry-run against the ledger
The proposed posting is validated against real ledger state — accounts, periods, balances — before anything is written.
04APPROVE
Risk-routed approval
Recognized low-risk bills execute in the lanes your policy defines; unusual ones wait for the reviewer your rules require, with the full trace attached.
05POST
Posted as a governed transaction
One of the ledger's typed transactions — not free-form entries. Every line keeps its source document.
06PAY
Batched and paid
The payment proposal agent builds batches from what's due, approvals release them, and the bank's confirmation settles the bills.

EVERY POSTING IS A TYPED TRANSACTION ON A DOUBLE-ENTRY LEDGER — DRY-RUN, RISK-ROUTED AND AUDIT-TRAILED LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE

WHAT ARTIFI COVERS

The whole payables surface, not just invoice capture.

Vendor bills
Email, upload or sync — extracted, validated against master data, and posted with the source document attached.
Journal entries
Manual and recurring entries as governed transactions — balanced, period-checked, and traceable.
Master data
Vendors, accounts and payment terms proposed and maintained by agents — with human approval where your policy requires it.
Payment batches
Due bills collected into proposals, approved, transmitted to the bank, and confirmed against the statement.
Missing bills
A bank line without a bill triggers a chase to the vendor — an agent's job, not your team's.
Fixed assets
Asset purchases spotted on bills become fixed-asset records with depreciation schedules — proposed, not assumed.
WHO DOES THE WORK

Four agents run it every day.

Each one has a job description, an audit trail, and limits your policy sets. See the full catalog →
