Why Now’s the Time to Add InvoiceAI to Your Basware Solution

Written by Rob Wilson | Sep 29, 2025 12:02:21 PM

AI in finance isn’t optional anymore, it’s the next step in operational excellence. That’s why Basware has created the InvoiceAI bundle, now available with a special Q4 offer for existing Basware customers. This embedded set of intelligent tools helps you automate smarter and approve faster.

In our recent customer webinar, InvoiceAI: The Foundation for Smarter Invoice Lifecycle Management, we introduced this new bundle and demonstrated how it’s designed to reshape invoice processing operations. Below, we outline the key takeaways.

A Decade of Change in Just Three Years

Chris Blake, VP of Marketing, opened the session by tracing the evolution of AP, from paper and OCR to today’s era of agentic AI. The shift? Moving from rules-based automation to intelligence that can predict, decide, and act in context.

“We’ve seen more change in the last three years than in the previous forty. Invoice lifecycle management is now powered by AI that understands context—not just rules.”

Chris Blake, VP Basware Marketing

AI is no longer emerging—it’s delivering real results. Finance leaders are actively looking for practical, high-ROI use cases to invest in:

  • 75% of CFOs plan to increase AI investment in the next 12–18 months
  • 90% report strong ROI from AI in invoice-related processes

“This is where you can show value quickly. InvoiceAI is built around real-world use cases,and proven with real customer data.”

Ben Dunkel, Basware Lead Solution Value Consultant

The Basware InvoiceAI Bundle explained

Ben Dunkle walked through the three components of the InvoiceAI bundle. The message was clear: embedded AI is already making invoice processing faster, smarter, and more accurate.

  • SmartCoding automatically applies GL coding to non-PO invoices based on historical behavior, learning like a new team member and improving with every invoice.
  • SmartWorkflow predicts the right approver, reducing manual routing and delays.
  • AP Business Agent gives business users context-rich insights during approval, like supplier history, invoice anomalies, and prior exceptions. That way they can make decisions quickly and confidently.

A Limited-Time Offer to Get Started

To support customer adoption, Basware is offering free activation of the InvoiceAI bundle for any customer who adds it to their existing agreement before the end of Q4 2025.

To help you build a strong internal business case, Basware also provides a Proof of Value assessment using your own invoice data, so you can clearly understand the expected impact before you commit.
