Why Your Invoice-to-Payment Process Is Costing You More Than You Think

On Tuesday, June 9 at 1:00 PM ET, Kyriba is hosting a live webinar with PredictAP, CBRE, and Realty Income to show exactly what a fully connected AP workflow looks like.

Register for Close the Loop: Building an Optimized Invoice-to-Payment Process.

During the webinar, our industry partners at CBRE and Realty Income will share how they built a fully connected workflow using PredictAP to ingest invoices and auto-generate GL codes that feed directly into Kyriba for payment execution, reconciliation, and bank confirmation — bridging the gap between systems for an end-to-end process.

What's Broken in Most AP Processes

If your accounts payable team is still manually keying invoices, chasing down exceptions in email inboxes, or reconciling payments in spreadsheets, you're not alone — but you're leaving serious money on the table.

The average cost to process a single invoice manually is $15. Automate it, and that drops to $3. Multiply that across thousands of transactions, and the math gets uncomfortable fast.

Most finance teams don't have an invoice problem — they have a handoff problem. Invoices get coded in one system, approved in another, paid through a third, and reconciled (if you're lucky) in a spreadsheet. The gaps between these steps are where time disappears, duplicates slip through, and vendors start calling.

The numbers tell the story:

• 70% of AP teams still rely on manual processes for some portion of invoice handling
• The average invoice takes 12 days to process without automation

Exceptions — the invoices that don't match, don't route correctly, or don't get resolved — often fall completely outside the core workflow

What a Truly Optimized Process Looks Like

An optimized invoice-to-payment workflow isn't just faster. It's fundamentally different in structure.

In this webinar, you'll learn the five principles of a best-in-class process

1. Straight-through processing for clean invoices

2. AI-powered GL coding and anomaly detection

3. Unified visibility across invoice status and payment execution

4. Exception handling that stays within the workflow (not in someone's inbox)

5. Closed-loop confirmation that isn't complete until bank reconciliation is done

CBRE and Realty Income's PredictAP + Kyriba Integration in Action

The webinar will walk through the full end-to-end flow — from invoice arrival (email, portal, EDI, or scan) through AI-powered ingestion and GL coding in PredictAP, into Kyriba's payment factory for execution across 500+ banking groups, all the way through bank confirmation and automated GL reconciliation. No custom code. No manual hand-offs. Nothing falling out of the cycle.

This isn't a theoretical demo. Two of the world's largest real estate companies will share how they built these workflows at scale:

Trisha Koyanagi, Global Treasury Leader at CBRE, will walk through how CBRE tackled fragmented systems, manual GL coding, and offline bank reconciliation across thousands of daily AP transactions globally.

Omair Asad, VP of Treasury at Realty Income, will cover how the team achieved same-day cash visibility, managed SOX compliance requirements, and eliminated payment exceptions that were straining vendor relationships.

This session is built for treasury and finance professionals who own or influence the invoice-to-payment process — AP leaders, treasury managers, controllers, and CFOs looking to eliminate manual bottlenecks and gain real-time cash visibility.
