Latest insights from Springtime Technologies

Every country now has its own e-invoicing rulebook, and the AP template that worked in Germany just failed validation in Poland. Here’s the architecture that turns a new mandate from a fire drill into a routine configuration update.

The Shared Services Link webinar, co-hosted with Springtime Technologies and Avalara, surfaced a problem that most e-invoicing projects don’t plan for until it’s too late. Here are the key takeaways for AP and shared services teams preparing for what comes next.

AP automation has a ceiling problem and it’s not a configuration issue. In our June SSON tech demo, Springtime’s Steven Standring and Jasna Janjic explored why most platforms stop learning once an exception hits, and how Invoicetrack’s accountable AI turns those exceptions into auditable, executable policy. Here’s what you need to know.

AI is rapidly transforming accounts payable, but accountability hasn’t kept pace. As AI agents begin making financial decisions at scale, the real risk isn’t failure, but outcomes nobody can explain or defend.

Most AP vendors get paid whether their promised outcomes materialize or not. Outcome-based pricing changes that: fees are tied to measurable targets, and missing them has financial consequences. BAT has made it work at global scale, and the model deserves your attention.

Most AP transformation projects don’t fail because of the software. They fail because the selection process asks the wrong questions, and these five are the ones that separate vendors who support genuine enterprise governance from those who simply automate the easy parts.

As highlighted in our recent webinar, reducing invoice cycle days is becoming a core driver of AP evolution. Faster processing strengthens the entire accounts payable process, improves accounts payable visibility, and makes accounts payable automation more effective.

Despite two decades of AP automation and widespread adoption, finance leaders are confronting an uncomfortable truth: Has automation has stalled?

We sat down with Mogens Pedersen, Springtime’s CTO, to discuss what excites him about this role, and his vision for our flagship solution, Invoicetrack.

A quick primer: In the coming months and years, new government e-invoicing requirements are set to roll out globally. Among the countries planning to enact these mandates in the very near future are…

Most AP leaders can rattle off their team’s latest key performance metrics (KPIs). Invoice processing time. Error rates. Early payment discount capture. But measuring KPIs is just the starting point. What really matters is how you use the data.
