as increasingly important to modern AP operations. Forrester said those capabilities are helping to reshape how organisations handle invoicing across industries, with the report aimed at CFOs and IT leaders looking to modernise finance processes.
According to the report, Ivalua stood out for its supplier portal, which combines communication tools, invoice corrections and purchase-order flips in a single collaboration environment. Forrester also pointed to the platform’s reporting and its detailed tracking of invoice and payment status through auditable workflows from receipt to settlement.
Ivalua said its Autonomous AP approach is designed to verify invoice compliance immediately, block fraud and reduce the manual burden on finance teams. The company argues that this allows AP departments to spend less time on transactional processing and more time on exception handling and cash management.
Franck Lheureux, chief executive of Ivalua, said the growing overlap between procurement and finance is turning accounts payable into a more strategic function. He said Ivalua had stepped up investment in AP technology to support that shift and welcomed the latest recognition from Forrester.
The company also says its AP automation tools can deliver high supplier adoption and strong touchless processing rates, with benefits including better payment accuracy, reduced paper handling and improved working capital management. It says those gains are especially relevant for large organisations dealing with complex supplier networks and stricter compliance demands.
The latest recognition adds to a string of recent accolades for Ivalua, which was also named a leader in Gartner’s 2026 Magic Quadrant for source-to-pay suites, underscoring the company’s broader push to position its procurement platform as a control layer across purchasing, invoicing and payments.
