Kefron AP - Accounts Payable - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Kefron AP is a cloud-based accounts payable automation platform. Finance teams use it in Ireland, the UK, and the United States. Kefron AP automates the full invoice lifecycle. It captures invoices, extracts data, and validates details. It matches POs, routes approvals, and posts to your finance system. It also archives invoices.

The metric Kefron AP is built around

Touchless processing rate is the percentage of invoices that move from capture to posting without human intervention. Kefron AP sets a customer’s current touchless rate during onboarding. It sets a target based on the customer’s invoice mix, supplier base, and PO coverage. It then reports progress against that target. Touchless rate is the metric that drives cost per invoice, approval cycle time and exception volume.

Invoice capture

Kefron AP accepts invoices by email, supplier portal upload, and scanned paper. Header and line-level data is extracted automatically for both PO and non-PO invoices.

Matching and approval

Kefron AP performs two-way and three-way matching against purchase orders and goods receipts. Non-PO invoices route through approval workflows configured by cost centre, value threshold or approver hierarchy. Exceptions are flagged with the reason for the exception.

ERP and accounting integration

Kefron AP integrates with existing ERP and accounting systems, cloud or on-premise. The customer's finance system remains the book of record. Kefron AP does not replace the ERP.

Reporting and visibility

A single dashboard shows invoices in query, invoices awaiting approval, approval bottlenecks by approver, and touchless rate over time. Suppliers use a self-service portal to check invoice and payment status without contacting the AP team.

Security and compliance

Kefron is ISO 27001 certified. Kefron AP provides role-based access control, a full audit trail on every invoice, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
