Our take
In the US, invoice fraud is on the rise with companies losing an average of $300,000 annually to fraudulent invoices. There is a lack of visibility with one in four finance professionals unaware or unable to estimate the cost of invoice fraud to their business, most likely due to messy paper trails that plague the invoice process.
Medius is an AP automation, payments, sourcing and procurement company. A leading provider in its industry, Medius is going beyond the basics of automation, using artificial intelligence to do the majority of its work, meaning invoices get confirmed, coded and paid automatically, and businesses can trust their budgets and forecasts.
With financial professionals beginning to recognise the importance of AP automation, Medius is focused on strengthening its applications as it expects to see exponential growth in the near future. With several rounds of equity funding behind it, Medius is in a prime position to become the category-defining global business for the mid-market.
