Written by Basware Representative | Apr 22, 2024 5:00:00 AM

We're thrilled to unveil AP Protect, the latest innovative addition to our best-in class AP offering. With AP Protect, we're revolutionizing AP Automation by adapting to your needs and leveraging accounts payable data to fortify your financial defenses. Say goodbye to duplicate payments and profit loss, and say hello to enhanced AP control with Basware AP Protect! 

What is AP Protect?

AP Protect is an AI-powered solution that helps you shield your organization against financial losses. It does this by protecting you against fraud, catching duplicate payments, and helping you maintain accurate vendor master data.

It can be difficult for AP teams to identify payment irregularities for a number of reasons. When multiple ERP systems are in use, which most Basware customers have in place, erroneous payments are not just likely but almost guaranteed. This leads to significant profit loss, which can easily go undetected.

AP Protect helps you eliminate these errors before they occur, improving the financial integrity of AP processes. Its core modules— Overpayment Prevention, Fraud and Compliance, and Vendor Analysis—strengthen financial controls, prevent profit loss, and maximize working capital.

Below is a short video explaining this in action:
