Frequently asked questions

Is Snowfox an ERP?

No. It is an AI add-on that connects to your existing ERP or purchase invoice system, such as SAP, IFS, NetSuite or Basware. Light is the ledger itself, with agents built in.

Does Light automate invoice coding?

Yes. Light's agents code, match and post supplier bills inside the controls you set, with every action logged, and approved bills pay from the same ledger.

When does Snowfox fit?

When you are keeping SAP, IFS, NetSuite or another ERP, process a high volume of supplier invoices, and want AI coding and approval routing added to it.

Does Snowfox consolidate entities?

It can be configured by entity; the books and the consolidation stay in the connected ERP. Light consolidates every entity on one ledger as transactions post.
