Viridem LITE: automating accounts payable when a single person handles everything

In most micro-businesses and small SMEs, a single person carries full responsibility for accounts payable. Viridem LITE lets that person automate the processing of invoices and financial documents. Less to do, more business.

One person, the whole administrative octopus

Whether it's an administrative assistant juggling office tasks, billing and payments, or an owner doing the books between two client meetings, the same person receives invoices, validates them, matches them against purchase and receiving orders, follows up with suppliers, keys everything into the accounting software and takes part in payment. Does it make sense to spend several hours a week on this when that time could go to higher-value work?

In short

Viridem LITE is a cloud accounts payable automation solution for micro-businesses and very small SMEs where a single contributor manages all payables: intake, AI data extraction, validation, filing and accounting integration. Single-user licence, quick onboarding, subscription starting at $450 per month for 100 invoices, accounting connector included.

What is Viridem LITE?

It is a cloud solution that combines automatic document recognition, intelligent AI extraction, automated validations, structured archiving and direct integration with the main accounting systems. It includes Viridem and ViridemAI, the two engines that eliminate manual entry of supplier invoices, delivery slips and account statements.

A micro-business gets the same benefits as a large company, without the complexity, without heavy infrastructure and without the implementation costs of multi-approver platforms. The LITE edition, with its single-contributor licence, means fewer clicks, less re-keying and more time.

Why choose Viridem LITE over another solution?

LITE was designed from the start for a single user. Where other solutions impose approval levels, multiple roles and complex configuration, LITE keeps to the essentials:

• fast implementation, in days rather than weeks;
• lightweight management, with no approval structure to set up;
• intuitive onboarding, with no technical training;
• a clear subscription, with no superfluous features.

Why Viridem Lite over another accounts payable tool?

Viridem is a proprietary Canadian software vendor, not a reseller of a foreign solution: we have built our software since 2013, your data is handled with the greatest care and aligned with Canadian privacy standards, and our OCR recognition is validated by real accountants. You deal with a team that answers in your language and understands the reality of local SMEs, with a direct connection to your accounting system (Acomba, QuickBooks, Sage and more) with no IT project. Where many generic tools charge for every option and pile on configuration, Viridem Lite stays simple and predictable ($450/month, connector included) and grows into the Foundation edition when you do, without changing software.

Why automate accounts payable in a micro-business or SME?

Automation reduces repetitive tasks, improves accuracy and speeds up processing. For a person working alone, that means hours recovered every week. You gain visibility over pending invoices, due dates and account statements, while reducing payment errors, duplicates and delays.

For the owner, it means fewer evenings spent catching up on data entry. For the assistant, it means being able to address real priorities instead of re-keying amounts and dates.

Key features

• Automatic document recognition: invoices, delivery slips, account statements.
• Intelligent AI extraction: amounts, dates, supplier numbers, line items.
• Automatic filing and intelligent search.
• Automatic grouping of documents from the same transaction.
• Management of payable invoices, delivery slips and account statements in a single environment.
• Intelligent 2- and 3-way validation (invoice / purchase order / receiving order).
• One-click validation, with no approval workflow to set up.
• Processing of invoices without a purchase order.
• Direct integration: Acomba, AcombaGO, Sage 50, QuickBooks Online, Sage Intacct, Fidelio, Genius and several others.

Without Viridem LITE or with Viridem LITE?

Who is Viridem LITE for?

For the administrative assistant, the accounting technician, the controller or the owner who manages accounts payable alone. Two profiles come up often:

• the owner who does the books in the evening or between appointments and wants to reduce repetitive tasks without hiring;
• the administrative assistant who juggles payables, reception, client follow-up and coordination, and is looking for a simple tool with no steep learning curve.

Real-world use cases

• An assistant manages an SME's invoices alone. Entry and validations are automated: data is extracted, matched and sent to the accounting system. Time is recovered.
• An owner does the accounting. LITE reduces repetitive tasks; he keeps control without spending his evenings on it.
• An accounting technician handles a large volume but remains solely responsible. LITE lets her process more without increasing her hours.
• An SME wants to automate without an IT project. The cloud solution is ready to use, in self-serve or assisted configuration.
• A company wants to start simply today and be able to grow. It begins with a single user, then migrates to the Foundation or Enterprise edition when more people or approval levels become necessary. Viridem grows with you.

When to choose Foundation or Enterprise over LITE?

• when several users take part in processing;
• when advanced approvals or conditional workflows are required;
• when more contributors need access to the solution;
• when the volume exceeds what one person can oversee.

Pricing

Viridem LITE is available starting at $450 per month for 100 invoices, accounting connector included. Configuration can be self-serve or supported by the Viridem team.
