Ivalua Named a Leader in Accounts Payable Invoice Automation 2026 Evaluation

Ivalua is recognized for its Autonomous AP capabilities and seamless supplier communication

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ivalua, the enterprise AI platform for procurement, today announced that it has been recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Accounts Payable Invoice Automation (APIA) Software, Q2 2026.

As global regulatory pressures around e-invoicing and prompt payments intensify, organizations must optimize the supplier payment journey. To achieve this, accounts payable (AP) teams must focus on business compliance and current liability, which is where the value of Autonomous AP becomes key. Autonomous AP instantly verifies the compliance of every invoice, while blocking fraud at every step. This allows finance teams to shift their focus from transactional activities to managing exceptions and strategic cash optimization.

In its report, Forrester states: "Ivalua's supplier portal excels by offering an interactive supplier collaboration center with rich functionalities, such as seamless supplier and buyer communication, invoice corrections, and PO flips. The vendor provides granular AP reports that are easy to use. It also differentiates with its event and status tracking, with fine-grained, auditable workflows that monitor every invoice and payment stage from receipt to settlement."

By streamlining the APIA process, enterprises can ensure e-invoicing compliance, maximize working capital opportunities and release liquidity into their supply chains. Ivalua's Autonomous AP delivers this level of Agentic automation to enterprises by digitizing the entire invoicing journey, shortening cycle times, and preventing fraud. When coupled with advanced supplier collaboration, this approach drives over 96% supplier adoption within two months*, improves payment accuracy, ensures higher levels of business compliance, and optimizes cash flow.

"In today's high-pressure regulatory and cost-conscious environment, the partnership between procurement and finance is critical to unlocking value that goes beyond the transactional by turning accounts payable into a strategic enterprise asset and value center," said Franck Lheureux, CEO of Ivalua. "Ivalua has accelerated innovation in the AP space to empower this partnership, and we are thrilled to be named a Leader by Forrester."
