Many organisations still process invoices the way they did 20 years ago: manual data entry from paper and PDFs, slow approval chains, and disconnected systems. Tick9 built Cyferd Accounts Payable to fix that—sitting alongside your existing finance system with OCR, AI mapping, and intelligent workflows that turn chaos into control.

The Challenge: AP Processes That Haven't Kept Up

Manual Data Entry

Invoice information extracted by hand from paper and PDF documents into your finance system. Time-consuming, error-prone, and unchanged in decades.

Slow Approvals

Unstructured approval chains creating bottlenecks. Invoices stuck in email, spreadsheets, and on desks waiting for sign-off.

Poor Visibility

Finance teams have no clear view over what's been received, approved, or outstanding. Information scattered across systems and inboxes.

Disconnected Systems

Accounts payable lives in email and spreadsheets, not connected to your finance system. Manual re-keying between multiple tools.

Compounding Errors

Wrong GL codes, duplicate invoices, missed records. Manual processes create risk, and errors cascade through to payment.

The Solution: Cyferd AP, Built and Delivered by Tick9

Tick9 built a dedicated accounts payable solution on the Cyferd platform that sits alongside your existing finance system. Three core capabilities work together to transform your invoice-to-payment cycle.

1. Microsoft 365 Integration

Cyferd AP monitors designated mailboxes and automatically captures incoming invoices, receipts, and supporting documents. No downloads, no forwarding, no extra steps. Documents arrive and are immediately logged into the system, ready for processing.

2. OCR Technology with AI-Powered Mapping

Our OCR engine reads invoices and extracts structured data: invoice number, date, amount, vendor details, line items. The AI learns over time, improving accuracy with each document processed and adapting to your vendors' invoice formats.

The result: dramatic reduction in manual data entry, fewer errors, and faster processing without human intervention.

3. Configurable Approval Workflows

Set approval thresholds, multi-level sign-offs, and review rules tailored to your business. Approvers can review, reject with notes, and access everything from desktop or mobile. Once approved, validated data flows directly to your finance system—no re-keying.

Full audit trail from receipt to payment, every step recorded.
