Vroozi, the intelligent procure-to-pay platform, announced its "Five trends for 2025 in the procure-to-pay industry" by Shaz Khan, CEO. 

1. Global e-invoice mandates reshape compliance landscape. While the U.S. has fewer requirements today, mandatory e-invoicing success in Europe and Latin America signals wider adoption. With Australia and New Zealand phasing in these mandates, businesses face new urgency to adapt their processes.
2. Generative AI brings new intelligence to procurement workflows. AI capabilities now enable teams to automate supplier communications, contract analysis, and compliance monitoring. Contextual AI assistants provide personalized guidance based on user permissions and process context – for example, when a new employee joins, the assistant helps them order equipment like their Mac or PC, simplifying complex procurement steps while maintaining compliance protocols. This improved automation helps organizations increase processing speed while reducing errors.
3. Straight-through processing requires stronger fraud controls. As invoice processing becomes increasingly automated, sophisticated fraud attempts are rising. While technology enables faster validation and payment, organizations must implement advanced detection systems that can spot anomalies, verify legitimacy, and prevent fraudulent invoices from entering the payment stream. Proper controls and verification processes are essential as companies automate their accounts payable workflows.
4. Cross-departmental spend and supply chain visibility becomes mission-critical especially looking at new markets and localization. As companies expand into new markets, maintaining consistent control over procurement across locations requires standardized operations and real-time visibility into spending patterns.
5. Cross-platform integration becomes essential for procurement systems. Organizations are moving away from single-vendor ERP solutions toward flexible, interconnected platforms that serve specific business needs. New employees can now select and access their preferred work applications through personalized portals, with immediate provisioning and seamless data flow between systems. This shift toward rapid integration capabilities helps companies adapt quickly while maintaining consistent processes and controls across their technology ecosystem.
