Medius Capture: AI-powered e-invoice processing with 96.3% touchless rate for PO invoices

Despite rising electronic invoice adoption, most AP teams have seen no improvement in straight-through processing or processing time, because digitization alone has not automated the unstructured data effectively. Meanwhile, rapidly evolving global e-invoicing mandates make manual compliance increasingly untenable.

Outcome

Medius customers process invoices at an average cost of ~$2.81 versus the $9.87 industry average, achieve a 96.3% touchless processing rate for PO invoices and 99.5% for non-PO invoices, cut processing time from ~14 days to 6 days, and reduced exception rates by ~70%. The AI-powered Supplier Conversations agent reduced supplier inbox management from ~8 hours per week to ~30 minutes, a ~94% reduction.

What failed first

Even as 52% of invoices are now received electronically, the majority of AP teams have seen no improvement in straight-through processing rates or average processing time, indicating that digitization without intelligent automation has not delivered efficiency gains.
