Faster Payments, Smarter Approvals: Powered by AI in the Latest Vantagepoint Release

Every project-based firm has the same invisible tax: the hours burned chasing down expense approvals, re-keying invoice data, and waiting on payments. These aren’t strategic problems. They’re operational friction, and they compound quietly until they’re slowing down your best people.

The latest Vantagepoint release is built to eliminate that friction, changing how work gets done.

Approve Expenses Faster, Without Sacrificing Compliance

Expense approvals sit at an uncomfortable intersection: approvers need to move fast, but rubber-stamping reports creates compliance risk. Most teams end up doing one or the other. With Dela Approval Insights, you can do both.

Powered by AI expense validation, Dela analyzes each expense report against your company’s policies and flags potential issues before an approver ever opens the report. Approvers see exactly what needs attention, not a stack of reports to manually review line by line.

  • Faster approval cycles with less manual review effort
  • Consistent policy enforcement across every report, every time
  • Reduced audit exposure from missed policy violations

Cut Invoice Processing Time with Intelligent Character Recognition

AP invoice processing is one of those workflows that eats time invisibly, until you add it up. Manual data entry of purchase order numbers, cross-referencing documents, and correcting entry errors. In this release, ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) for AP invoice approvals automates the part that slows teams down most: reading and inputting PO numbers automatically.

  • Fewer manual keystrokes, fewer entry errors
  • Faster invoice approval cycles
  • Improved cash flow through quicker AP turnaround

ICR captures PO numbers from AP invoices automatically; no more manual keying.ICR captures PO numbers from AP invoices automatically; no more manual keying.

Get Paid Faster with Integrated Digital Client Payments

Firms do the work, deliver the value, and then wait. Waiting on checks, waiting for manual payment processing, waiting for cash to hit the account. Vantagepoint Payments closes that gap by enabling digital client payments directly through a secure portal, fully integrated into your accounts receivable (AR) workflow.

Clients get a simple, modern payment experience. Your finance team gets faster collections and less manual follow-up. And the entire process lives inside Vantagepoint, no disconnected payment systems to reconcile.

  • Accelerated collections and improved cash flow
  • Reduced time chasing outstanding invoices
  • A seamless payment experience that reflects well on your firm

Navigate the Platform More Naturally with a Modern Interface

This release introduces an updated Vantagepoint interface that is cleaner, more intuitive, and faster to navigate. This isn’t a visual refresh for its own sake; it’s a foundation that makes every feature easier to access and every workflow faster to complete.

New users get up to speed faster. Experienced users spend less time navigating and more time doing. And as Vantagepoint continues to add AI-powered capabilities, a modern interface ensures those capabilities are easy to discover and use.

Why This Release Marks a Shift, Not Just an Update

Taken together, this release reflects something bigger than a collection of new features. It’s a consistent push toward a version of Vantagepoint where AI handles the routine so your people can handle what actually requires judgment.

  • Less manual work across critical workflows. From invoice entry to expense approvals, AI handles the repetitive steps.
  • Faster financial cycles. Smarter approvals, quicker payments, and tighter AR close the gap between delivering work and getting paid.
  • A platform your team actually wants to use. A modern interface lowers friction and makes adoption easier.

The goal isn’t more technology for its own sake. It’s giving your teams the intelligence to do their best work, and get out of the way when the system can handle something itself.
