SER unveils AI bundles to boost SAP finance & procurement
The new Doxis Purchase-to-Pay for SAP and Doxis Order-to-Cash for SAP bundles are designed to address the challenges caused by manual workflows, ineffective legacy automation, and growing data volumes which, according to projections, could reach 390 zettabytes of documents created annually by 2028.
The solution bundles integrate AI-powered process automation with document processing services and connectors to inject what SER refers to as 'Smart Content' into SAP processes. This integration targets increased productivity and scalability for enterprises looking to improve their finance and procurement operations.
Capabilities overview
Doxis Purchase-to-Pay for SAP supports digital generation and transparent approval of purchase requisitions within SAP. It features smart extraction, rule-based validations, and automated approvals for delivery dates, pricing, and quantities in the order confirmation stage.
For delivery bills and receipts, the solution automatically recognises delivery notes via barcode, records goods receipts, and ensures transferal to SAP and posting. AI-enabled processing of invoices from physical, email, or EDI sources is supported, with automated workflows and SAP posting designed to eliminate manual steps and reduce processing time.
The Doxis Order-to-Cash for SAP bundle focuses on sales order automation, allowing multi-channel capture of incoming sales documents including email (PDF), SAP Ariba, IDoc and EDI, with AI and workflow automation support. It also provides real-time order creation and monitoring.
For billing and electronic invoicing, the bundle facilitates fully compliant eInvoice generation standards such as ZUGFeRD, XRechnung, Factur-X, and KSeF, ensuring traceability and SAP integration. An order monitor feature offers users a 360-degree view of the sales order processing status.
Business benefits
SER Group claims the new SAP solution bundles deliver benefits such as streamlining document-intensive workflows, improving compliance measures, and increasing global efficiency, leading to both time and cost savings.
The solutions allow up to 100% data recognition accuracy, underpinned by Doxis's Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Financial Model and human-in-the-loop validation. They also include features for fraud prevention, such as duplicate invoice detection and compliance checks.
Global scalability is facilitated by support for more than 20 languages and compatibility with both SAP ECC and S/4HANA systems. The bundles are described as cloud- and Clean Core-ready, enabling flexible, future-proof, cost-effective, scalable, and secure deployment options for enterprises with differing IT strategies.
The Doxis solutions are the first to demonstrate the blending of team skills and technology following SER's recent acquisitions of AFI Solutions, a specialist in SAP document automation, and Klippa, a company with expertise in AI-powered Intelligent Document Processing.
Market context "Our new SAP bundles are designed to help enterprises scale faster, operate smarter, and grow with confidence," says Dr. John Bates, CEO of SER Group. "By fusing AI-driven document intelligence, robust SAP process automation and powerful archiving, we are giving customers the Smart Content tools they need to multiply productivity, mitigate risk, and accelerate digital transformation."
SER Group's launch comes amid rapid change in the Enterprise Content Management market. Industry analysts have recently pointed to the resurgence of the 'document management' category as a crucial component of enterprise AI strategy, partly in response to the expanding volume of information that businesses must handle.
SER is headquartered in Bonn, Germany, and employs more than 600 people in 20 offices across 11 countries. Its ECM technology is used by enterprise customers which include DHL, Allianz, UBS, and BASF.
The company has been recognised in industry assessments, being named a Leader in both the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Document Management 2024 and the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Intelligent Content Services 2024 Vendor Assessment.

Archive360 & Neev Data unify SAP compliance with AI-ready platform
Archive360 and Neev Data have announced a partnership and integration aimed at creating a single, governed repository for SAP and other ERP system content. This collaboration brings together Archive360's data compliance platform with Neev Data's SAP and legacy-application archiving software, enabling a consolidated, AI-ready archive for a broad spectrum of enterprise data. Governance and compliance Combining the archiving and governance capabilities of both companies, the partnership addresses persistent challenges in enterprise data management, particularly the fragmentation of data across multiple systems. Organisations often manage separate processes for SAP content, other ERP systems, and various communication channels, which can increase operational costs and complexity. Previously, governance and access to historical SAP archived data were largely confined to the SAP environment. Under the new partnership, organisations can now extract, normalise, and securely archive SAP data, making it accessible and manageable from both within and outside SAP, or via a mixed approach. This integration allows businesses to locate, manage and comply with data governance requirements more efficiently. Archive360's platform also offers businesses the opportunity to decommission legacy systems while maintaining access to essential historical data, which is particularly relevant during migrations to SAP S/4 HANA. Neev Data's modular, SAP-certified connectors further enable high-performance offloading of data with minimal disruption to live systems. Capabilities delivered The combined solution delivers seamless data flows by extracting SAP tables, documents and attachments in open formats, then transferring them to Archive360's platform for indexing, classification, and retention management. Compliance is unified under a single set of policies that spans SAP, other ERP data, and communication channels, with shared search, reporting, and audit trail capabilities available to compliance and legal teams through a single console. Organisations leveraging this partnership can also ensure that their data repository is prepared and trusted for AI and analytics use, providing new avenues for deriving business insights from unified, governed information. Industry perspectives "In today's environment, organisations need a unified approach to data governance that spans all critical systems," said Vishal Awasthi, CEO at Neev. "Our partnership with Archive360 delivers exactly that, enabling data to flow from SAP systems into a comprehensive compliance framework that covers the entire enterprise data landscape." The integration also promises to streamline the adoption process. Enterprises already using Archive360 can quickly extend compliance to SAP operational data, moving from deployment to end-to-end oversight in days instead of months. Conversely, existing Neev SAP customers gain extended archiving capabilities for emails and communications without needing to replace existing SAP tools. New customers evaluating SAP archiving can deploy a unified compliance solution from the outset, reducing the risk of managing multiple solutions and accelerating the path to value. "This partnership represents more than integration," said Archive360 CEO Jerry Caviston. "It's the realisation of our vision for comprehensive data governance. We're not just archiving data. Our unified platform governs how organisations ingest, store, access, and derive value from their most critical information assets." Business context The partnership between Archive360 and Neev Data targets enterprises seeking to consolidate their historical and operational data under a single governance framework. As regulatory demands and analytical needs grow, the availability of unified, AI-ready archives may support improved auditability, compliance, and decision-making across the enterprise data landscape.

Press Release – Avis Travellers now have the option to skip the rental counter entirely, head straight to the car they have chosen, unlock it on their phone, and go. Avis has launched new technology allowing a contactless pick-up experience, a first for New Zealand's rental car industry. Travellers now have the option to skip the rental counter entirely, head straight to the car they have chosen, unlock it on their phone, and go. This Straight-to-Car pick-up experience will be available exclusively to Avis Preferred members — both local and international — who use the Avis App. The Avis Preferred program and the Avis App are free to join and use.

'Renters can bypass the traditional rental counter and go directly to their vehicle at a designated bay within the Avis car park.

Refold AI raises USD $6.5m to automate enterprise API tasks
Refold AI has emerged from stealth with USD $6.5 million in seed funding to offer a platform designed to simplify enterprise API integrations using artificial intelligence. Enterprises collectively spend an estimated USD $350 billion every year on consultancies and system integrators to ensure their APIs function as required. Refold AI, a startup based in San Mateo and Bangalore, states that its platform can replace these manual, outsourced efforts with AI-native infrastructure, reducing integration costs and complexity for businesses. The funding round was led by Eniac Ventures and Tidal Ventures, with participation from Better Capital, Ahead VC, Karman Ventures, Z21 and individual investors. The company intends to use the proceeds to hire additional engineers, expand product integrations, and provide further support for its enterprise clients. Addressing enterprise integration Refold AI was founded by the team behind medical technology startup JustDoc, who identified inefficiencies in existing integration processes, particularly during their work with large-scale SAP environments. Jugal Anchalia, Refold's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer, described the origins of the company's mission: "We were spending more time managing chaos than building software. We started Refold with a simple idea: integrations are repeatable and cumbersome, it should not need humans." The company's offering has attracted over 30 paying enterprise customers, including Incorta and Naehas. Refold reports it has doubled its customer base in the last two months, now supporting over 1,500 active users and processing more than 30 million API calls monthly, with annual recurring revenue in the seven-figure range. AI-native approach Refold's approach centres on automated, self-learning agents to manage integrations. Instead of relying on middleware solutions or teams of developers to handle system connectivity, Refold's platform deploys autonomous agents that learn system behaviours, generate and maintain integration code, and adapt as the underlying software changes. The company states the platform is actively used for use cases such as synchronising ERP and CRM systems, automating finance processes, and supporting critical supply chain operations. The platform is built on a three-layered architecture. The first layer, Workflow Code Agents, allows engineering teams to produce, test, and maintain integration logic. On top of this is the MCP Chains interface, a natural language tool enabling business teams to describe requirements and have agents automatically generate workflows. The third layer offers an Embedded Integrations Platform, providing software-as-a-service (SaaS) teams with a toolkit and prebuilt UI components for native integrations. Each layer is designed to accelerate implementation timelines and reduce reliance on bespoke service requests. Refold's agents use reasoning and reinforcement learning techniques to deliver and maintain integrations. The company claims to have automated tasks such as financial reconciliation, supply chain inventory synchronisation, and real-time data pipelines between core enterprise systems, tasks that previously required months of effort to deliver and maintain. Moving towards automation Abhishek Kumar, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer of Refold, commented on the company's objective: "We're not building another workflow tool. We're replacing the consultant economy with agents that learn and scale. In the future, integrations should be free, fast, and invisible." The company currently employs 20 staff across its offices in San Mateo and Bangalore and plans to increase this to 30 by the end of the year as it works to expand the platform and its library of enterprise integrations. Hadley Harris, Founding General Partner at Eniac Ventures, said: "As we enter the agentic era, enterprise integrations stand out as one of the most compelling and valuable use cases. For decades, companies have burned billions on brittle, bloated workflows. Refold has rebuilt the stack from the ground up to make integrations seamless and intelligent, and the market is already catching on." Nicholas Muy, Venture Partner at Tidal Ventures, also weighed in: "Finally, someone is fixing the most broken part of enterprise software. For decades, we've been patching integrations with expensive consultants and manual work. Refold's AI agents don't just patch the problem - they eliminate it. This is a fundamental leap forward." Refold seeks to position its software as an invisible 'logic layer' within enterprise AI stacks as businesses look to modernise and streamline their integration processes.
