How does TradeCentric’s Invoice Automation solution work?
Our Invoice Automation solution creates a seamless integration between a supplier’s eCommerce platform and a buyer’s eProcurement or ERP system. After a supplier has fulfilled a purchase order and created an invoice, the integration automatically translates that invoice into the buyer’s required format, such as cXML, EDI, and JSON. This process eliminates the need for manual data entry and reduces the risk of errors. TradeCentric then validates invoice data against the original PO and fulfillment details to reduce errors, and delivers the invoice directly into the buyer’s system for faster approval and payment.

Invoice Automation FAQs
Invoice automation supports automated reconciliation by helping align invoice data with purchase order and fulfillment details. When invoice data is validated before delivery, buyers can more easily match invoices to approved POs and received goods or services. This reduces discrepancies, lowers exception volume, and helps suppliers move invoices through approval workflows faster.

TradeCentric connects 75+ eCommerce platforms with 220+ ERP and eProcurement systems, helping suppliers deliver invoice data into buyer workflows without managing separate custom processes for every customer.
Wholesale invoicing can be integrated by connecting your eCommerce, ERP, or order management system with the buyer’s procurement or finance platform.

Invoice automation does not replace payment processing, but it can support faster payment workflows by improving the quality and delivery of invoice data. When invoices are accurate, validated, and delivered into the buyer’s required system, they are easier to approve and reconcile. This helps reduce payment delays tied to missing information, data mismatches, or manual invoice handling.
Invoice automation benefits accounts receivable, accounts payable, finance, eCommerce, IT, and customer service teams. AR teams can reduce manual invoice delivery, AP teams receive cleaner invoice data, and IT teams avoid managing disconnected one-off workflows. Customer service teams also benefit because fewer invoice issues mean fewer buyer escalations and payment delays.
