Faster approvals, frictionless workflows

Automatically route bills based on configured rules, bulk approve or make payments one at a time, and resolve blocked or urgent bills with admin approval bypass.

Routable has helped us scale to over 8,000 bills a month. We evaluated other solutions, like Tipalti and Stripe, but they were way too expensive. My AP team is saving hours a month spent tracking down approvals, and it’s thanks to Routable!
