Routable Launches Predictive Bill Coding to Automate Invoice Processing

Routable, a leader in accounts payable automation, unveiled its latest AI innovation—predictive bill coding—at the Sage Future conference in Atlanta. This powerful new feature advances Routable’s end-to-end invoice automation capabilities, enabling a near-touchless experience for finance teams.

1. Addressing Long-Standing OCR Limitations

• Traditional Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has often failed to meet finance teams’ expectations.
• Routable’s AI enhancements push past these limitations, using machine learning to deliver higher accuracy and automation.
• The goal is to reduce reliance on manual data entry and streamline AP operations.

2. What Predictive Coding Offers

• For PO-backed invoices, Routable inherits PO codes to automate coding with minimal intervention.
• For non-PO invoices, AI predicts coding—including line-item level detail—based on past patterns.
• AP professionals only need to review and confirm predictions, enabling a fast and efficient workflow.

3. Continuous Learning and Customization

• Incorrect codes can be corrected manually, training the AI for better future predictions.
• Users can also retrain OCR functionality to improve its recognition accuracy for recurring invoice formats.
• This feedback loop allows the system to get smarter with each use, adapting to unique business needs.

4. Enhanced Fraud Prevention as a Foundation

• This release follows Routable’s earlier AI-powered invoice fraud prevention tool, which uses machine learning and generative AI to flag anomalies.
• Predictive coding builds on this secure foundation, offering efficiency without compromising control.

5. Industry Response and Use Cases

• Brandt Kucharski, CAO at Ethos, highlights the innovation:
  “Predictive coding picks up where OCR leaves off, for a fully automated invoice capture and processing experience.”
• Companies can expect faster invoice approvals, fewer manual errors, and increased scalability in finance operations.

Routable’s predictive bill coding marks a major advancement in AP automation, transforming how finance teams process invoices. By combining machine learning, OCR improvements, and fraud prevention, Routable delivers a smarter, faster, and more accurate approach to invoice management—ushering in a new era of intelligent financial operations.
