Frequently asked questions
Straight answers before a fit review.
Scope, data, delivery, pricing, and control questions about ap control monitoring.
Will this pay invoices?+
No. ApprovalNorth is intentionally non-custodial and read-only.
Can we use our existing approval system?+
Yes. ApprovalNorth exposes exceptions without replacing the system of record.
Will it send reminders automatically?+
The service produces a supervised queue and ready-to-edit drafts. Nothing is sent without your approval.
How do you avoid alert fatigue?+
Every alert must identify the exception, age, accountable owner, and evidence behind the recommended next action.
What do we receive each cycle?+
A human-reviewed invoice approval control pack, the supporting exception log, and the plan-specific review cadence shown on the pricing page.
What do you need from us?+
A named owner, the agreed definitions, and a normalized open-approval register. The public inquiry form accepts none of that operational data.
How quickly can we start?+
A normal start has four checkpoints: fit and boundary, field mapping, a dry run, and acceptance. Timing depends on how quickly the buyer can confirm definitions and provide the safe input.
How is the product delivered?+
ApprovalNorth uses a six-module accounts payable operations model. The published plans are delivered as a managed service with human-reviewed, portable outputs; customer logins, live connectors, and system-of-record changes are not included.
Is the workspace on this site a customer account?+
No. It is an interactive product tour built with fictional people, records, activity, and metrics. It demonstrates the complete operating model without claiming a live customer deployment.
Which plan should we choose?+
Control is our recommended starting point for teams that need the service throughout the month. Choose the lower plan for a focused queue or the upper plan for the published higher workload.
What counts toward plan capacity?+
Capacity uses the accepted records, workflows, entities, locations, or reporting units named on the pricing page. Rows rejected at the agreed schema check are returned for correction before processing and do not silently consume the allowance.
Can we change or cancel a plan?+
Yes. Plans run month to month. A capacity change is agreed before the next cycle, and cancellation takes effect before the next monthly renewal.
What happens above the plan capacity?+
We pause and agree whether to defer the excess, change plans, or reduce scope. We do not silently process extra work or add an unapproved fee.
Do you guarantee a business result?+
No. We guarantee the written scope and acceptance checks, not savings, compliance, approval, payment, forecasting accuracy, or another outcome controlled by data quality and human decisions.
