FAQs

What’s the difference between Ottimate and DocuWare?

Ottimate is designed for multi-location/multi-entity organizations with high volumes of complex invoices in industries like hospitality, restaurants, and senior living facilities, providing deep invoice management. DocuWare is a generic document storage system trying to handle AP on the side, whereas Ottimate uses advanced machine learning to eliminate manual data entry entirely.

How flexible are Ottimate's approval workflows compared to DocuWare?

DocuWare uses rigid, old-school routing systems that can easily jam or require manual fixes whenever an unusual invoice comes through. Ottimate automatically routes invoices to the right managers based on locations or departments without you having to build complicated rules. Ottimate also learns your team's approval habits over time to keep things moving fast, while DocuWare keeps you locked into strict, manual steps.

How does Ottimate handle vendor relationships compared to DocuWare?

DocuWare operates strictly as an internal filing cabinet, leaving your team to manually chase missing bills and answer vendor payment questions over the phone. Ottimate eliminates this friction by acting as an active communication hub that automatically resolves billing disputes and tracks down invoices. It keeps suppliers informed with clear payment updates and built-in digital options, ensuring stronger vendor relationships with zero manual effort.

We want to improve our cash flow position. Can Ottimate help?

Ottimate allows your finance teams to implement better cashflow control before paying vendors which is important especially during cashflow sensitive seasons.

Can AP Automation integrate with my current accounting software?

Yes. Ottimate integrates with 100+ ERP and accounting systems including QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, and Dynamics BC. Our API-based integrations sync bidirectionally in real time, mapping line-item details, vendor data, and GL codes automatically. We sync the image of the invoice uploaded and source documentation links so every invoice in your ERP connects back to the original document. No exports, imports, or manual data entry required.

How secure is AP Automation?

Ottimate meets SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 compliance standards, ensuring your data is stored and processed securely. We use bank-grade encryption, SSL/HTTPS for data in transit, and offer Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Role-based permissions control user access, and we maintain complete digital audit trails. Our systems are monitored continuously and audited regularly to protect against fraud, unauthorized access, and data breaches.

What kind of support does Ottimate offer for its AP Automation solution?

Ottimate provides comprehensive support via email, phone, and live chat. Our dedicated customer success managers help with implementation, troubleshooting, and ongoing optimization of your AP workflows. We partner with you to ensure your team has the tools and training needed to succeed, from initial setup through scaling your AP automation across your entire organization.
