CUSTOM ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AUTOMATION SERVICES
Automate the handoffs that slow down accounts payable.
Invoices, approvals, and records often move through multiple systems before AP work is done. R-Path designs, builds, and supports custom AP workflow automations around the systems you already use, reducing repetitive work while keeping necessary checks and approvals in place.
HOW WE START
Get the work moving across your existing systems.
Your finance team may already have the applications it needs. The problem is the manual effort required to move work between them.
R-Path starts with the actual business process: what triggers it, which systems and people it touches, where work slows down, what must be checked, and how exceptions are resolved. Then we design and implement automation around those requirements.
The goal: Less repetitive administration, more consistent execution, and more capacity for work that needs your team's expertise.
What we map before we build
WHAT WE BUILD
Custom automation for the steps between systems
Depending on the workflow and available system access, R-Path can build automation to:
Collect and move information among existing finance applications, enterprise systems, portals, documents, and files.
Route work and exceptions to the appropriate people for approval, correction, or investigation.
Apply business rules and checks to validate fields, compare records, update information, and trigger the next step.
Support ongoing operation through testing, monitoring, maintenance, and adjustments as processes or applications change.
We use the methods that fit the job—such as workflow automation, integrations, and RPA, with AI where interpreting less structured information calls for it. We don't force every process into one tool or assume every step should be automated.
WHERE WE HELP
Finance and accounting workflows we can help improve
Accounts payable / procure-to-pay
Move recurring invoice, vendor-record, approval, and purchasing-related information through the appropriate steps and systems.
Accounts receivable / cash application
Transfer receivables data, apply defined payment-matching rules, update records, and flag items that need investigation.
Invoice processing
Handle repeatable intake, classification, validation, approval routing, and downstream system updates—not simply invoice scanning or data capture.
Reconciliation
Gather and compare financial or operational records, identify discrepancies, route exceptions, and record outcomes.
Reporting and compliance administration
Assemble recurring data, run defined validation checks, prepare files or reports, and route them for required human review and signoff.
HOW WE WORK
From a specific workflow to an automation you can rely on
Understand the work and the business case
We review the current workflow, people, systems, volume, effort, exceptions, risks, and potential value. If custom automation doesn't make economic or operational sense, that matters too.
Design around your requirements
We document the steps and develop a solution that accounts for system access, validation rules, approvals, exception handling, and maintainability.
Build, test, and deploy
Our team develops the automation, tests the expected paths and exceptions, and coordinates deployment with your business and IT stakeholders.
Support the automation after go-live
Depending on the engagement, R-Path can monitor the workflow, respond to failures, maintain the solution, and help adapt it when underlying systems or business rules change.
You bring the process knowledge. We bring the automation delivery capability.

WHY R-PATH
A specialist team, not another software product
Fully managed automation program
per month to start
For organizations with an ongoing backlog of opportunities, R-Path also offers a fully managed, month-to-month automation program with a dedicated cross-functional team. That program starts at 100 total team hours per month.
A focused first project may also be worth considering when it can be the beginning of a broader automation relationship.
Automation is our sole service focus. We design and build business-process automation rather than sell accounting applications or collect software-resale commissions.
Experienced, U.S.-based delivery. Our development and support team is entirely U.S.-based, with more than seven years of average team tenure. Our capabilities include business analysis, program management, and automation development—not just coding.
Support beyond launch. We plan for maintenance and ongoing operations, because finance workflows must keep working when data, rules, or applications change.
Security-conscious engagement. R-Path is SOC 2 compliant and delivers automation solutions that are secure and auditable.

IS IT A FIT?
Is customized automation the right fit?
R-Path is a good conversation to have when a recurring process consumes meaningful staff time, spans multiple steps or systems, or requires careful handling of approvals and exceptions—and you want a partner to design and implement the solution. We work best with organizations that have substantial automation needs, including those ready to begin with one well-defined project and expand as additional opportunities emerge.
