Your invoices, digitized

Make every approver happy
Some clients want to approve every invoice. Some want to see none. Plate IQ accommodates any approval process with approval routing based on things like:
- Vendor
- GL Account
- Min / Max Total
- Method Received
- Time Received

“
Before Plate IQ, we probably looked at each invoice five or six times. Now we use Plate IQ. Instead of walking invoices between different people’s piles, we just load everything in and the system’s rules send every invoice to the right approvers.

We like that Plate IQ charges the same for Bill Pay every month. We’re not getting charged $1.50 for every check or ACH that goes out. And we have seen the time spent on payables drop considerably in the last couple of months. Our time with each client just gets more efficient.
