ERP INTEGRATION
Deep ERP Integration. Without the Integration Project.
AP automation shouldn’t require a major IT project just to connect with your ERP. AP Express was built by ERP experts to integrate deeply with the systems that run your business—while requiring remarkably little effort from your internal IT team.
AP Express supports Oracle E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, Oracle ERP Cloud, SAP S/4HANA and multi-ERP environments—helping organizations modernize AP without permanently tying their automation strategy to a single ERP platform.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO ERP INTEGRATION
A Different Approach to ERP Integration
Many AP automation platforms treat ERP integration as a separate implementation workstream. AP Express takes a different approach. Our Universal Integration Agent provides a lightweight connection between AP Express and the ERP environment, while Nivo1’s ERP expertise allows our team to handle the integration work that would otherwise place a significant burden on customer IT. The result is deep access to the ERP information AP automation depends on—without requiring customers to build and maintain a large custom integration project.
