The problem

“We named the enemy. Manual processes.”

Director of Finance and Procurement, $100 billion company

Ask a finance leader to name the biggest threat to their company. You expect something dramatic. A hacker. A hurricane. A new tariff. One director at a $100 billion company gave a different answer.

Every supplier you add brings a small pile of facts with them. A tax ID. A bank account. An address. Promises about insurance, ethics and cyber security.

Most companies still gather those facts by email. Someone reads the email. Someone types the answer into a system. Someone else checks it later, if there is time. Nobody calls that a crisis. It looks like normal work. And that is exactly why it costs so much.

What the AI platform does

Your suppliers, understood from onboarding to recovery.

The apex platform unifies supplier data, watches for risk in real time, and recovers the working capital hiding in your payments. One intelligent system for the entire lifecycle.

Job one · Onboard

Onboard suppliers in days, not months

Your suppliers sign themselves up, on a page that carries your logo, in their own language. The self-service portal reduces manual effort and accelerates approvals, and it eliminates manual data entry: AI Agents extract the data from the documents a supplier uploads and populate their profile and questionnaires. Built-in, automated validations run in real time on tax IDs, bank accounts, prohibited list checks and other compliance requirements, checked against the source: governments, regulators and banks.

  • Bank account ownership confirmed with banks and authorities in 30+ countries and counting
  • Screened against 100+ prohibited and sanctions lists
  • Two-way sync with SAP, Oracle and every other major system
  • Approval workflows and questionnaires your own team can edit

Job two · Watch

See risk before it turns into a problem

Risk moves every day. Most risk reviews happen once a year. That gap is where trouble grows. AI watches your suppliers all the time, scores each one against your own rules, and tells you what changed and why it changed.

When something does need a person, the platform opens the issue, drafts the tasks, asks the supplier for the evidence and routes the approvals. Every step is recorded, so you can show an auditor what you knew and what you did about it.

  • Financial, compliance, cyber and event risk in one composite score, plus any risk type you bring yourself
  • Regulatory scorecards for DORA, NIST, SOC 2 and NIS2, showing which suppliers are in scope, which attestations are outstanding and which exceptions have been accepted
  • Cyber risk scanned across the open and hidden internet
  • Live risk events plotted against supplier locations, with the source behind every alert

Job three · Recover

Get back the money that already went out the door

Even good teams pay some invoices twice. Credits go unclaimed. Contract prices do not make it into the system. apexanalytix reviews your past payments, finds the overpayments and collects it. Our team has done this for 35+ years and is the largest corporate accounts payable recovery audit firm in the world.

  • Flags duplicate payments and outliers that get past your 3-way match, scores each one, then fixes it, sends it for review
  • Based on our historical database, we reach out to the supplier contact most likely to reply, then reaches out in the right language, channel and time of day
  • Our AI reviews the statement for suppressed credits and checks for offsets, and follows up when something is missing
  • Our team then negotiates the resolution, documents and books it with minimal time from your company

How it works

One supplier record, from first contact to final dollar

Click a stage to follow the same profile through the lifecycle. The record updates in place.

Find and pre-qualify

Stage 1 of 5

Send a short inherent-risk questionnaire, then enrich the profile with proprietary Golden Record data covering 280M+ suppliers.

Your team builds a pool of approved vendors instead of chasing paperwork later.

Stage 2 of 5

A self-service portal reduces manual effort and accelerates approvals, and eliminates manual data entry: AI Agents extract the data from uploaded documents and populate supplier profiles and questionnaires.

Built-in, automated validations run in real time on tax IDs, bank accounts, prohibited list checks and other compliance requirements.

Checks run while the supplier types. Failures are corrected before a person ever sees the record.

Approve and sync

Stage 3 of 5

Your workflow decides who signs off, based on the supplier’s profile and what the checks found. Real-time alerts flag high-risk or duplicate suppliers before they enter your ERP.

Once approved, the record is created in your ERP and every other system automatically.

Monitor and score

Stage 4 of 5

Validation does not stop at onboarding. Suppliers keep their own details current, and AI keeps watching financial health, sanctions, cyber exposure and more.

Continuous monitoring keeps supplier records accurate, current and audit-ready.

Respond and recover

Stage 5 of 5

When a risk appears AI starts the response, assigns the tasks and pulls in the right people.

And when money has already gone out wrongly, recovery audit finds it and brings it back.

The foundation

All of it runs on data you can trust

Buying AI without clean data is like installing a light and never wiring it to the grid. It looks finished. Nothing turns on.

Supplier data goes stale fast. Roughly a fifth of a vendor master decays every year as companies move, merge, rename and change banks. So apexanalytix does not trust what a supplier types. We go to the source.

See how the data works, or put it straight into your own systems with our APIs and AI assistant connectors.

For developers and AI workflows

Put this data where the work already happens

The same 280M+ golden records and 1,200+ sources reach your team three ways: in the platform, through the Data API, or through the AI assistant they already have open.

Platform

Validated before it lands

Tax IDs, bank details and addresses are checked the moment a supplier types them, before anything reaches your ERP. Every supplier is screened against 100+ prohibited and sanctions lists at registration and on an ongoing basis, in 40+ languages.

Data API

Your systems, your stack

The same validation runs inside the tools you already own: identity, banking, tax, business intelligence, compliance, risk scoring, monitoring and questionnaires. Connectors ship for Python, Node.js and Go, plus 30+ platforms including Salesforce, SAP, Oracle and Snowflake.

Chat

Ask in the tool you already have open

AI assistant connectors for Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Grok, including a native MCP server. Screen a supplier for sanctions or confirm a tax ID with a prompt with no custom build.

 

 

 

Built for large, complicated companies

One platform to support 100% of your suppliers, all of your policies and every source-to-pay system you own.

Touchless workflows

Good software is easy to use. Great software barely needs a user. The AI platform manages suppliers for you and brings your team in only when a person is needed.

Configuration without code

320K+ business rules ship in the box, along with global compliance requirements. Your vendor management team can change any of them. No developer, no ticket.

A hub for everything

One point of control across every source-to-pay system. SAP certified, Oracle partner and hundreds of pre-built integrations for everything else.

Layers of protection

No single control stops payment fraud. We stack them: invited-only access, bank account ownership checks, change controls, user behavior monitoring and network intelligence.

Security you can show an auditor

Bank-level access controls including passwordless and PCI, privacy compliance for HIPAA and GDPR, and SOC 1, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified systems.
