tl;dr
Invoice processing automation is the use of AI and related technology to handle invoice receipt, data extraction, validation, and approval routing without a person carrying out each step manually.
The goal isn't just faster processing. It's fewer places where an invoice can sit untouched, whether that's a shared inbox waiting to be opened or an approver's queue waiting for a signature, and a shorter, more predictable path from a bill arriving to it being paid on time.
