Approval Routing
Route invoices by department, project, vendor, or amount.
Accounts Payable
Your AP team re-keys 400 invoices a month into NetSuite
OCR extracts vendor, line items, amounts, and due dates. Gruv matches against POs and routes approvals by department, amount, or vendor.

Where AP still drowns in manual work.
Manual Data Entry
AP clerks re-key invoice data into the ERP line by line. Slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale.
PO Mismatch Errors
A quantity or pricing mismatch stalls an invoice in the exception queue for days. Nobody knows until a vendor calls.
Approval Delays
Invoices sit in inboxes waiting for the right approver. No one can see the pipeline.
Duplicate Invoices
The same invoice gets paid twice because nobody caught the duplicate. Reconciliation breaks.
ERP Sync Gaps
Manual journals and batch uploads create lag between AP and the general ledger in NetSuite or Xero.
Audit Risk
Paper trails and email approvals make it hard to prove who approved what and when.

How it works
AP Workflow
Before vs after Gruv
What changes when AP connects to payouts
AP that stops at approval leaves your analyst stitching the release in a bank portal. Gruv extends the workflow through release and reconciliation.
Dimension
Without Gruv
With Gruv
Approval to release
Approval, release, and reconciliation live in three different tools.
One workflow carries an approved invoice straight into a scheduled release.
Vendor data
Bank details and W-9s re-entered for each new tool.
Vendor records sync once and stay current across the stack.
Exception handling
Rejected payouts show up as line items in next week's bank statement.
Reason codes and configured retry or fallback actions give the team a clear next step for each failure.
Reporting
Month-end close means manually tying invoices to payments to bank statements.
Each payout carries lineage from invoice through settlement.
Time per cycle
AP analysts spend most of payout day clicking through bank portals.
Review and release happen inside one approval queue.

Payee Experience
Give payees a branded portal to manage banking details, W-9s, W-8BENs, and payment history with Gruv.
