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.

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.

You'll learn:
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
Where servers need to be located depending on each country's requirements
