Redefining the Value of Finance Teams with Invoice Lifecycle Management

At Basware, we believe it’s time for finance teams to be recognized not just as back‑office operators, but as strategic heroes at the heart of every organization. That belief is the foundation of our approach to Invoice Lifecycle Management (ILM), and it sits at the center of our new 2026 brand campaign.

Finance teams are under pressure like never before. Compliance mandates keep evolving, invoice volumes continue to rise, and manual exceptions still consume far too much time. Even with mature AP automation in place, 10–20% of incoming documents still require manual removal due to validation issues or non‑invoice content — a drain on productivity and a persistent source of errors.
