Oracle NetSuiteOther ERP systemsTungsten Automation, known as Kofax until its 2023 rebrand, develops document capture, OCR, and intelligent document processing (IDP) software used to digitize, classify, and extract data from paper and electronic documents. Its portfolio spans the TotalAgility intelligent automation platform, the Capture document-ingestion engine, and ReadSoft / AP Essentials for accounts payable. The common thread is turning unstructured documents such as invoices, forms, and correspondence into structured data that downstream ERP and line-of-business systems can act on.
For ERP buyers, the most relevant use is invoice and document capture feeding finance systems. Tungsten provides certified integrations for SAP (ECC and S/4HANA) and Oracle E-Business Suite, and connects to Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and other ERPs via prebuilt connectors and an open API. The software reads invoices across formats — paper, PDF, XML, and e-invoices — applies validation and business rules, performs purchase-order matching, and routes documents through approval workflows before posting to the ERP. AP Essentials (formerly ReadSoft Online) delivers this as a cloud service, while ReadSoft Invoices and Capture cover on-premises and hybrid deployments.
Tungsten positions TotalAgility as a broader platform that combines IDP with process orchestration and generative AI, and was named a Leader in Gartner's inaugural Magic Quadrant for Intelligent Document Processing. Reviewers consistently cite extraction accuracy, deployment flexibility, and integration breadth as strengths, while noting that the platform's depth comes with implementation complexity and specialist skill requirements. The company traces its roots to 1985, is headquartered in Irvine, California, and is owned by private-equity firms Clearlake Capital and TA Associates.
