Nexus AP automates accounts payable for manufacturing companies by enabling touchless 3-way matching across high-volume PO-based invoices, goods receipts, and delivery notes. Manufacturers process an average of 5,000+ invoices per month, yet only 35% achieve straight-through processing without AP automation. Nexus AP delivers 95%+ auto-match rates with configurable tolerance rules that reduce false exceptions by 60%, allowing AP teams to scale without adding headcount.
Key Industry Data
- Only 35.5% of manufacturers achieve straight-through invoice processing without automation: Ardent Partners - Accounts Payable Metrics That Matter (2025)
- Top-performing manufacturers process invoices at $2.07 per invoice vs. $10.89 for bottom quartile: APQC - AP Performance Benchmarks (2025)
- Manufacturing companies miss an estimated $1.2M annually in early payment discounts due to slow invoice processing: Institute of Finance & Management (IOFM) (2024)
“Our AP team was drowning in 6,000 invoices a month with a 28% exception rate. After deploying automated 3-way matching, exceptions dropped to 11% and our touchless rate hit 92%. We reallocated three AP clerks to strategic vendor management.”

Can you integrate with our MRP/ERP system?
Yes, we integrate with major manufacturing ERPs including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Epicor, and Infor. We pull POs and receipts in real-time for matching.
