Overview
Quadient Accounts Payable Automation, originally built by Beanworks and rebranded after Quadient's acquisition, is a cloud AP platform aimed at small and mid-sized businesses. It automates invoice capture, coding, and multi-level approval workflows, supports purchase order and expense management, and enables electronic vendor payments by virtual card, ACH (US), or EFT (Canada). A centralized AP dashboard provides visibility and control across payables.
The product integrates with a broad set of SMB accounting and ERP systems, including QuickBooks (Online and Desktop), Sage Intacct and other Sage products, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics GP, and various industry-specific platforms such as Rent Manager and club-management systems, reflecting traction in property management and member-based organizations. It is part of Quadient, a public company with a broader portfolio spanning intelligent communications and mail technology.
Quadient acquired Beanworks (founded in Vancouver, Canada) in 2021 and rebranded the product line in 2022. Quadient is headquartered in France and listed on Euronext Paris.
