UiPath Announces New Agentic Solution to Accelerate Procurement Cycles

UiPath , a global leader in agentic automation, announced the UiPath Solution for Purchase-to-Pay (P2P), a purpose-built agentic AI solution designed to help finance teams embed agents in their processes, reducing processing costs and improving efficiency across procurement and accounts payable operations. The solution will be in controlled general availability in the coming months.

Finance leaders are under constant pressure to improve efficiency while maintaining strong financial controls.

Purchase-to-pay is still largely a process of handoffs between multiple systems of record (ERP, CRM, etc.) lacking clean integration, incomplete data, and approval of workflows that slow down even routine purchases. The cost of this disjointed workflow shows up in discount capture leakage, supplier friction, compliance gaps, and finance teams spending more time chasing exceptions than driving strategy.

The UiPath Solution for Purchase-to-Pay introduces an agentic execution layer above existing systems of record. It combines AI agents, automation workflows, and end-to-end orchestration to reduce manual effort and processing costs. This results in shortened invoice cycle times, improved visibility across procurement and accounts payable operations, and accelerated invoice and payment processing.

Utilizing UiPath Intelligent Xtraction and Processing (IXP) and governed exception handling, the solution automates complex steps across the P2P lifecycle. On the buying side, AI agents route approvals to the appropriate stakeholders and proactively reach out—via Teams or Slack—without leaving their workflow. On the invoice side, agents ingest invoices from email, PDF, portals, and EDI, match them to POs, classify mismatches, and guide exception resolution, so only the items that truly need a human decision get escalated. Orchestrated workflows, through UiPath Maestro, coordinate tasks across procurement, finance, and ERP systems, ensuring information flows seamlessly between teams and applications. By automating both guided buying upstream and invoice processing downstream, organizations can reduce cost and time to process invoices, raise touchless rates, and speed exception resolution—all while keeping the ERP authoritative and controls intact.

“Finance leaders are under constant pressure to improve efficiency while maintaining strong financial controls,” said Hitesh Ramani, Chief Accounting Officer and Deputy CFO at UiPath. “Our UiPath Solution for Purchase-to-pay will help organizations close gaps in procurement and accounts payable workflows. By reducing manual effort and intelligently managing exceptions, finance teams will be able to process transactions faster and focus more of their time on strategic, value-driven work.”
