Accounts payable automation for manufacturing, built in Canada | Viridem

Viridem is the most-deployed Canadian-owned proprietary software for Canadian manufacturers since 2013. It automates supplier invoice capture, PO / invoice / receipt matching, work-order validation and ERP write-back (Genius, Maestro, Avantage, SAP, Sage 300). 99% OCR + AI accuracy, Canadian hosting, aligned with Canadian privacy standards.

Yes. Viridem automatically performs three-way matching between the purchase order, the goods receipt note (GRN) and the supplier invoice. Price and quantity variances, including purchase price variance (PPV), are flagged before approval, so your AP team pays only for what was ordered and actually received, even across thousands of raw-material and component invoices.

Viridem processes high volumes of supplier invoices for raw materials, components and MRO, and codes each one to the right account and cost center, separating direct spend (bill of materials, production inputs) from indirect spend (maintenance, freight, services). Landed-cost elements such as freight and customs are captured and allocated, so your true cost of materials stays accurate in your ERP.

Viridem connects accounts payable automation to your procure-to-pay flow: it captures supplier invoices from paper, PDF and matches them to blanket and standard purchase orders, and handles recurring supplier invoices automatically. Approved invoices post straight to your manufacturing ERP, with no re-keying.

Viridem integrates natively with the ERPs used by Canadian manufacturers, including Genius ERP, Maestro, Avantage, Acomba, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP and QuickBooks. Supplier invoices, purchase orders, receipts and payment status stay synchronized in real time, keeping inventory valuation and vendor balances accurate even at thousands of invoices per month.

Yes. Viridem automatically matches every supplier invoice to the purchase order and receipt (three-way matching), tracks raw-material purchases and feeds your manufacturing ERP (Genius, SAP Business One, Sage, Avantage). The result: less data entry, full traceability and reliable production costs.

A Canadian manufacturing SMB processes 3,000 to 15,000 supplier documents per year. Viridem absorbs 80% of that volume with no manual entry, frees 1 to 1.5 accounting FTE, captures early-payment discounts (0.8% to 1.2% of annual vendor spend) and blocks duplicates (0.3% to 0.8% of paid volume).

Yes. Viridem ships native connectors for Genius ERP, Maestro and Avantage, built in-house. Bidirectional, real-time sync. We are official Genius ERP partners and present together at Genius Synapse since 2025.

Viridem's audit trail is complete, timestamped and automatically classified by workstation, lot and date. During an internal audit, a tax audit (CRA or provincial tax authorities) or a quality review, you retrieve documentary proof in under 5 seconds via full-text search. Every user action (creation, modification, approval, payment) is digitally signed.

Between 3 and 12 months for most Canadian manufacturers, regardless of document volume. 60% processing time reduction, systematic early-payment discount capture, no more outdated-drawing scrap, one accounting FTE redeployed from data entry to cost analysis.

Viridem offers an expert solution preconfigured by role and by industry, delivered as sector packages. The price can vary depending on your sector and scope. No surprises, no hidden costs.

For Canadian SMBs, average Viridem ROI materialises between 3 and 12 months, regardless of your sector or volume. Three savings levers: 80% of tasks automated, 9× faster processing than manual entry, 90% paper reduction. The Viridem ROI calculator helps you estimate your savings in a few minutes.

A manufacturing ERP handles production and accounting very well, but stays within its own scope. Viridem connects to it and additionally automates administrative tasks (supplier invoices, expense accounts, requisitions) with high-precision OCR + AI. A specialized solution since 2013, connected to the main manufacturing ERPs across Canada.

Viridem stands out first through its OCR + AI technology: where many tools stop at OCR, Viridem combines optical recognition with artificial intelligence to reach 99% accuracy on structured invoices. Second strength: workflows preconfigured by industry AND by role (construction, distribution, manufacturing, finance, HR), a depth of specialization that is unique on the market. Third: your data is handled with the greatest care, aligned with Canadian privacy standards and never sold or exploited for commercial purposes. Against global players such as Tipalti, Quadient, Stampli or Bill.com, Viridem guarantees data protection and English support from Victoriaville; against other vendors, it stands apart through the precision of its OCR + AI engine, ERP connectors built in-house and reliability proven since 2013, paired with deep expertise by trade and sector (construction, manufacturing, distribution, forestry, finance) and an investment that delivers lasting savings, with ROI typically reached in 3 to 12 months. And as ERPs begin adding accounts payable and administrative-task automation modules, Viridem keeps an edge: a specialized, multi-ERP OCR + AI engine that enriches your accounting system instead of replacing it. And because we own our software, Viridem is scalable and grows with your business.

Viridem automatically identifies invoices outside the standard flow: amounts out of tolerance, unknown supplier, missing PO, tax errors, potential duplicates. Each exception is routed to the right approver with full context (supplier history, comparison with previous invoices, correction suggestions). Your clerk handles only the 5-15% of exceptions instead of 100% of invoices. Per Ardent Partners 2026, best-in-class teams process an invoice in 3.1 days on average thanks to this intelligent filtering.

No. Beyond the 30+ native connectors (Acomba, Avantage, Fidelio, Genius, Maestro, Maximum, Orchestra, Prextra, Sage, SAP Business One, Microsoft Dynamics, QuickBooks), our team builds custom connectors in 2 to 4 weeks, integrated into your standard deployment. Since 2013 we've connected Viridem to every ERP encountered across the Canadian markets: Oracle NetSuite, Acumatica, Procore, Vision Construction, Intéral, Houston Solutions and several vertical-specific solutions. The cost is bundled in the project, not charged as an option.

To reduce supplier invoice processing time in a Canadian SMB, accounts payable automation is the most effective path. Per Ardent Partners 2026, best-in-class teams process an invoice in 3.1 days on average (vs 17.4 days for the rest). Three technical levers: (1) OCR + AI capture to eliminate manual entry (down from 8-12 min to under 30 seconds per invoice), (2) visual mobile approval workflows with automatic escalation, (3) PO ↔ invoice ↔ receipt three-way matching auto-validated for 90% of cases. With Viridem, Canadian SMBs typically achieve a 60% reduction in processing time within the first 90 days (Groupe Bellemare testimonial on 15,000 yearly invoices).
