OCTA AP Automation is the accounts-payable offering within OCTA Core, a finance workflow platform for SMEs and enterprises that also covers accounts receivable and bank reconciliation. It captures invoices from email, compares purchase orders, receipts, and invoices, and flags mismatches. Visual rules can route approvals by amount, vendor, entity, category, or custom criteria; users can approve hundreds of invoices in one click. Payment methods include ACH, wire transfer, card payments, and checks, while recurring bills can be scheduled automatically. For reconciliation, OCTA matches cleared payments to invoices, handles partial payments and overpayments, and syncs balances with accounting systems. The platform supports multiple entities and currencies and lists more than 30 integrations, including Xero, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books, Oracle Fusion, and NetSuite. OCTA says connections use encrypted OAuth or API keys and generally require no engineering work or data migration. It states that it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications. Most businesses go live within 5–10 business days using guided setup. Pricing is on request; OCTA offers a personalized demo and says an expert will respond within one business day.
