Source-to-pay for utilities and government

The public purse, run by agents and decided by people.

Spend reads every invoice, matches every receipt, drafts every solicitation and checks every payment run, then hands your staff the decisions with the evidence attached. Built for public power, water and sanitation agencies and the governments around them.

Why Spend

Public procurement rules, private-sector speed.

Most source-to-pay software was built for corporations and bent to fit government. Spend starts from sealed bids, encumbrances, board approvals, CIP-013 and the Public Contract Code.

Reads everything that arrives

Paper, PDF, phone photos, EDI, cXML, UBL and the Peppol network. Every value carries the words it came from, and anything uncertain goes to a person.

Agents do the legwork

Seven agents work exceptions, supplier onboarding, card audits, requests, solicitations, contracts and payment runs. They propose; your staff decide.

Audit-ready by design

Every action by a person, agent, supplier or integration goes on a tamper-evident ledger, signed hourly into your SIEM. Policy is data, versioned and approved.

AI agents

Agents that never sign, award or pay.

Each agent works one job end to end with the same tools your staff use. Anything that moves money, leaves the agency or binds it waits as a proposal for the person who holds that duty.

  • Invoice exceptions. AP staff decide.
  • Supplier onboarding and risk. Vendor master team decide.
  • P-Card review. P-Card coordinator decide.
  • Request to PO. Buyers decide.
  • Solicitation drafting. Buyers decide.
  • Contract review. Contract office decide.
  • Payment run guard. Treasury decide.

Accounts payable

Evidence on every field.

Capture shows what it read, where on the page it read it, and how sure it is. Confident, consistent invoices go straight through; the rest go to a person with the reason.

  • 2-, 3- and 4-way match with your tolerances.
  • Non-PO coding learned from each supplier's history.
  • Sales and use tax checked by delivery site.
  • Posted to Workday or Oracle EBS and filed to your records system.

  • Negotiation, BAFO and reverse auctions with savings recorded.
  • Single, multiple and split awards with a protest period.
