Overview
At ApprovalMax, we understand the challenge of managing accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) in a fast-paced world. That’s why we’ve designed an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution to help Xero customers like you save time, reduce paper, and gain full control over your approvals. Say goodbye to long email threads and paper trails – our automated workflows handle everything from bills to purchase orders (POs) to invoices, credit notes, and batch payments.
Don’t just take our word for it – hundreds of Xero customers have given ApprovalMax 5-star reviews for boosting efficiency, improving accuracy, and speeding up invoice approvals. And the best part? Your financial data stays secure. Approvers don’t need full access to Xero; they only see what’s relevant to them, keeping everything safe.
A few extras that make life easier:
- ApprovalMax Capture: Upload images or PDFs of your documents, and we’ll automatically scan, import, and get them ready for approval – no manual data entry needed.
- ApprovalMax Pay: Once bills are approved, you can pay them securely, directly from the platform, using open banking technology. No more jumping between systems. (UK only)
