hh2 AP Routing & Approval

hh2 AP Routing & Approval is accounts payable software built for construction businesses processing invoices against jobs and costs. It is best suited to contractors who need controlled approvals and an ERP handoff; the trade-off is custom pricing and limited offline mobile functionality.

Overview

Designed around contractor finance workflows, hh2 combines invoice capture, job and cost coding, purchase-order attachments, and approval routing. Support for multiple divisions or companies makes it relevant to businesses running AP across entities. hh2 says it was founded in 2004 to bridge communication between construction field and office teams.

The strongest case for hh2 is the connection between invoice review and construction-specific coding: teams can keep project and cost context attached as invoices move through approvals and into the ERP. Buyers looking for a general-purpose invoice tool without those construction workflows may not need that specialization.

Key features

Capture, coding, and ERP handoff

Digital invoice and receipt submissions feed OCR that extracts invoice data. Reviewers can assign job and cost codes and attach purchase orders or supporting documents. After approval, invoice, coding, and payment data sync to the ERP, reducing repeated entry between review and accounting. The integrations directory includes Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Sage 100, Spectrum, Foundation, Vista, QuickBooks Desktop, and QuickBooks Online.

Approvals and auditability

Routing can be based on job, vendor, amount, approver, or other rules. Thresholds, sequential or parallel reviews, and escalations let teams shape the path to their approval practices. Invoice comments support discussion within the process, while real-time status and timestamped approval and audit histories make progress and actions traceable. hh2 says data is encrypted and protected by secure logins and role-based access.

Mobile review and implementation

Users can review and approve invoices securely on mobile devices. The mobile apps require iOS 13.4 or later or Android 9.0 or later; offline app features are limited until a network connection returns, so teams working without reliable connectivity should weigh that constraint. hh2 says onboarding, training, and ongoing customer service are included, and most contractors are live within weeks.

Pricing

hh2 uses a paid model with custom pricing; prospective customers are directed to book a demo. That means buyers need a sales conversation to assess cost, rather than comparing a published plan price or choosing a self-serve tier. No seat, invoice-volume, trial, or renewal terms are stated.

Platforms

hh2 AP Routing & Approval is available on web, iOS, and Android. Mobile use requires iOS 13.4 or later or Android 9.0 or later, and offline features are limited until connectivity is restored.

Who it's for

The product page names general contractors, heavy civil, industrial, and specialty subcontractors as customers who benefit. Its job-based coding, purchase-order attachments, multi-entity support, and ERP sync are most relevant to contractor AP teams handling project-linked invoices across structured approval chains. Organizations prioritizing offline mobile workflows or transparent upfront pricing should consider other options.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Routing by job, vendor, amount, and approver, with thresholds, parallel or sequential reviews, and escalations, supports complex contractor approval paths.
• Pros: Job and cost coding, purchase-order attachments, OCR, and ERP synchronization keep invoice processing tied to construction accounting workflows.
• Pros: Real-time tracking and timestamped audit history give teams visibility into status and approval actions.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a demo conversation before buyers can evaluate cost against their needs.
• Cons: Offline mobile features are limited until a network connection is restored, a drawback for teams needing uninterrupted field access.

Alternatives

Invoice Approval Software is a category guide for comparing invoice approval tools. Consider Hili Billing if a free web plan is a priority: its Starter plan costs nothing, while Pro is $29 a month. Keelstar offers free web and API tools, including one-time browser results without an account; it is a different fit from hh2's construction AP workflow. Nanonets Approval Routing Agent has a free Starter plan with $50 in credits to start, then $100/month for 100 credits, and supports up to three users; choose it if that API-oriented, credit-based entry model fits better.

TREX Grow has a free-forever web plan with unlimited users and products, invoices, Malaysia e-Invoice submission, catalog, and RFQ tools; it may suit buyers seeking that broader free offering. Vic.ai APSuite is a paid alternative with an AP Module priced at $25,000 a year on a 12-month contract. Document Logistix AP Approval Workflow has modular licensing and pricing that varies by deployment and requirements. DOKKA offers paid AP and Close products with pricing available by demo. Xtract is another paid option with a free trial.

Verdict

Choose hh2 AP Routing & Approval if your construction business needs job-aware invoice coding, configurable approvals, audit trails, and a handoff to supported ERP systems. Its construction focus and included onboarding make it a strong fit for contractor AP teams, but custom pricing and limited offline mobile capability are real reasons to look elsewhere.
