Managing accounts payable (AP) in large-scale business operations often involves thousands of invoices, dozens of vendors, and complex approval workflows. Even small delays or errors create major financial and operational consequences. For these companies, automating AP processes isn’t just a convenience—it’s a necessity.

AP automation software streamlines invoice management, approval workflows, and payment processes to ensure accuracy and efficiency and improve internal controls. But just any solution won’t work for large businesses.

Our list of the best AP software solutions for large businesses uses our independent research and user ratings available on G2. Here are our top picks.

Choose the best-rated AP software for large businesses

For large businesses, accounts payable automation software must address challenges like handling high invoice volumes and inefficient manual processes while ensuring compliance and providing real-time visibility into financial operations. Ramp stands out as the top platform for AP automation by offering a user-friendly yet powerful solution that meets these requirements and more.

We know we’re biased, but here’s one of many success stories that showcases how Ramp transforms AP management for large businesses.

Ramp and The Second City: AP automation success story

Before partnering with Ramp, The Second City faced challenges with outdated payables processes. Its existing system involved clunky workflows, slow approvals, and a lack of real-time financial insights, which hindered operational efficiency.

Ramp Bill Pay transformed how The Second City managed invoices and vendor payments by automating invoice processing and approvals. Ramp eliminated manual bottlenecks, ensured timely payments, and integrated with the company’s ERP to streamline workflows so the finance team could focus on strategic tasks. As Frank Byers, Controller at The Second City, shared:

“When we moved to Bill Pay, I was hesitant because we were promised the same type of functionality as our previous technology, which didn’t work. But Ramp’s OCR works seamlessly—it not only recognizes the vendor but reads each individual line item and uses accounting rules to code them correctly. That made adopting Ramp Bill Pay a no-brainer.”

And the results were undeniable:

  • 2x faster processing: Freed up valuable team resources
  • $40,000 annual savings: Streamlined systems generated meaningful savings
  • 8-day efficiency gain: Faster expense reporting eliminated delays

Not only did Ramp help The Second City process payables faster, they gained better visibility into its expenses, and reduced its administrative workload—all while gaining better control over financial operations.

Ramp Bill Pay: A month of AP done in minutes

Accounts payable is only one aspect of your company’s daily financial operations. To maximize the value of your software investment, choose a finance platform that combines AP automation with features like expense management, corporate cards, travel booking, and more.
