AI-Driven Invoice Automation with Basware Invoice Lifecycle Management

May 6 | 3:00–3:30 PM BST

Stop letting manual invoice processes slow your business down. Hand-keying, approval bottlenecks, and disconnected systems drain resources and create errors. Basware Invoice Lifecycle Management (ILM) changes that — bringing every stage of the invoice process into one AI-powered, fully automated platform.

In this live demo, see ILM in action and discover how to transform your invoice processes while maintaining full control and compliance. The session will also highlight how ILM works seamlessly with enterprise systems like SAP, so you can see automation and ERP working together in practice.

You'll discover how to:

  • Unify your workflow: consolidate all invoice types and formats into one streamlined process

  • Automate approvals: cut manual effort and exceptions across PO and non-PO invoices

  • Act on insights: turn real-time dashboards into faster decisions on spend, cash flow, and compliance

Ideal for AP teams, Finance Operations professionals, and anyone who wants to see what modern invoice automation looks like in a real environment.

From Hype to High ROI: How Finance Teams Are Unlocking Real Value with Agentic AI

May 7 | 9:30 AM EDT / 3:30 PM CEST

Accounts payable is emerging as one of the most effective applications for agentic AI. Rather than simply automating individual tasks, agentic AI enables AP to operate as a proactive, self-optimising function — executing work end-to-end and continuously improving outcomes.

This session cuts through the hype to examine what agent-enabled AP looks like in practice. Drawing on real-world examples and recent research, it explores how autonomous AI is reshaping invoice processing and supplier engagement, and what it takes to deploy it successfully.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • How agentic AI executes AP processes end-to-end, from intake to resolution

  • What implementation and ROI look like in real finance environments

  • The operating model, controls, and data foundations required for safe, autonomous AP

  • How agentic AP improves efficiency, resilience, and supplier experience without sacrificing oversight

Ideal for finance leaders, AP directors, and operations professionals who are ready to move beyond experimentation and understand what responsible, high-ROI AI deployment actually looks like.

  • What the legal retention requirements are for domestic and cross-border invoices

  • What format preservation rules apply and how to ensure e-invoice content integrity

  • Options for metadata preservation and audit trails

As organisations navigate ERP modernisation and increasingly complex, multi-ERP environments, traditional AP processes often struggle to keep up. Incremental fixes are no longer enough.

Hear from Susan Bachler (Manager of AP, T&E and Sales & Use Tax, Freeport-McMoRan) and Brian O'Hara (Customer Success Manager, Basware) as they walk through how creating a unified AP layer reduced risk, improved visibility, and supported a clean core ERP strategy.

  • How decoupling AP supports and protects a clean core ERP strategy

  • Approaches to standardising AP across SAP and non-SAP environments

  • How automation drives greater control, visibility, and operational resilience
