Happay brings AI based Invoice Processing Solution

Happay has launched a new Invoice Processing Solution to help corporates manage their Accounts Payable process. With Happay Invoice, corporates can process, approve and pay vendor invoices using a single platform - digitally and effortlessly. The product is built using insights and feedback from CFOs and AP teams across Happay’s customer base of 5500+ companies.

As per Happay’s 2019 CFO Benchmark report, 82% of corporates in India use manual or semi-automated systems to manage business expenses and payments. Managing the ‘Invoice-to-Payment’ cycle is a nightmare for the majority of businesses. Manual processes involve extensive data entry, increase the risk of data errors and duplicate payments, and make GST compliance very difficult.

“With the launch of Happay’s Invoice solution, corporates can now manage not just T&E Expenses but also Invoice Payments on a single platform. This creates strong value for corporates and brings us closer to our vision which is to help corporates manage 100% of payments through a single platform. 2020 is going to be an exciting year for us. We have some more innovative products in the pipeline for the next four quarters, which are going to add immense value to corporates. These products are being built in consultation with some of the most renowned CFOs across the country”, says Anshul Rai, CEO and Co-founder, Happay.

Happay’s SuperVision which is part of the new Invoice Solution is an AI-driven tool which captures and digitises invoices coming in from any source - using proprietary OCR technology and auto-fetch APIs. It also verifies and validates the vendor details, runs policy checks on the invoices and makes them ready for payment.

Another disruptive functionality that Happay offers is direct integration with multiple core banking systems which, in turn, enables direct payments to vendors through the Happay system. The integration adds a layer of security and gives every payment a context. Once the payment is processed, the vendor gets an email and SMS with all payment details. This way, the vendor doesn't have to chase the company for payment status and the UTR number.

Happay estimates that by automating Invoice Processing & Payments, corporates can reduce their invoice processing costs by 70% and speed up invoice processing cycle by 3X. Automation also helps boost AP efficiency and improve cash flow visibility.

5500+ businesses across 40+ industry verticals are using Happay’s suite of Spend Management Solutions. This year Happay has hit $1 Billion in transaction volumes.
