One invoice record, end to end. Paythos brings invoice data capture, nominal coding, purchase-order matching, exceptions, approval workflows, beneficiary controls, payment runs, and provider outcomes into one audit-ready AP automation workflow.

Invoice capture and validation

Turn every supplier invoice into structured, review-ready AP data.

Extract header, line-item, VAT, PO, and payment details; identify credit notes; check exceptions; and review nominal coding with the source evidence still visible.

Supplier payment runs and routing

Build payment runs from approved, verified invoices.

Keep credit notes out of payment, hold unverified beneficiary changes, compare payment routes across providers, and retain provider status against each payment. UK GBP payment runs settle through Modulr, FCA-regulated payments infrastructure.

  • Approved invoices only
  • Beneficiary and bank-change controls
  • Provider status and exception tracking
  • GBP settlement via Modulr, FCA-regulated

Audit-ready by design

Keep every control and decision attached to the invoice.
