Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ramp offer full AP automation for small businesses?
Ramp provides basic invoice processing features but does not offer true end-to-end AI-powered accounts payable automation, especially for businesses with complex workflows, compliance needs, or high-volume transactions.
What specific AP automation capabilities can AIQ Labs build that Ramp can't?
AIQ Labs can build custom solutions like AI-powered invoice capture with OCR, intelligent approval routing based on spend or vendor risk, and automated payment scheduling with two-way ERP integration—addressing variability and compliance that off-the-shelf tools like Ramp often miss.
How much time can a business save with a custom AP automation system?
Businesses using custom AI-driven AP systems typically save 20–40 hours per week on manual data entry and approval workflows, with ROI achieved in 30–60 days based on industry benchmarks for SMBs in retail, manufacturing, and services.
Can Ramp handle SOX compliance and internal controls for AP?
Ramp lacks the deep compliance functionality required for SOX and robust internal controls in complex environments; custom systems from AIQ Labs are designed to enforce audit trails, segregation of duties, and policy adherence natively.
Why choose a custom AI solution over no-code AP tools?
No-code and off-the-shelf tools struggle with real-world variability, scalability, and integration depth; custom AI systems act as owned digital assets that evolve with the business, avoiding subscription fatigue and workflow gaps.
How do AIQ Labs’ platforms like Agentive AIQ prove they can deliver working AP automation?
Agentive AIQ and Briefsy are in-house platforms built by AIQ Labs that demonstrate production-ready, context-aware AI systems capable of managing document processing, decision logic, and system integrations at scale—proving their ability to deliver custom AP solutions.
