Tipalti: What Makes It Great (AP Automation SolutionMap Analysis)

The accounts payable (AP) automation market has grown rapidly in the last few years, in part due to its wide range of addressable clients across company sizes, industries and geographies. Tipalti, an AP automation provider with particular strengths in payments automation, is one vendor in the space that continues to grow along with the industry.

Specifically, the Tipalti solution can extend across a payment lifecycle — from capturing invoices to the validation and approval of payments, and finally issuing the payment through the end. Its cloud-based, AI-enabled platform makes automating and processing payments in many different countries, currencies and methods fast and secure, at global scale.

What’s more, Tipalti has in the last year added several new partners, raised $150 million, reached a valuation of $2 billion and acquired Approve.com. Given all that, it’s no wonder that Tipalti performs as a Value Leader in the Spend Matters SolutionMap AP Automation category.
