Our take
Digital finance innovations across the last decade have dramatically changed how financial operations are conducted, with businesses managing their payables workloads digitally. Despite such innovations, many workflows are still conducted manually, leading to time-consuming, repetitive and inefficient workflows.
Tipalti provides a global payments, accounts payable and purchase order automation platform, with tools for each area to reduce manual workflows and optimize operations. The platform’s functionalities are designed to be flexible for the scaling of growing businesses, helping to optimize financial visibility, efficiency and control without the need for business infrastructure changes.
Whilst individual platforms exist for these functions, Tipalti has recognized that businesses do not want to juggle fragmented software solutions inefficiently, and delivers everything in one place. It continues to develop its offering, with a recent influx of funding supporting the incorporation of agentic artificial intelligence capabilities.
