Question 1

What does Quid actually do?

Accepted Answer

Quid deploys AI agents that automate the manual, rule-based finance workflows inside your business. We handle invoice processing, approval routing, and vendor document intelligence — running in production across hundreds of clients. Your team reviews exceptions. Everything else runs automatically.

Question 2

Who is Quid built for?

Accepted Answer

Quid works best for companies with $10M–$200M in revenue, processing 200 or more invoices per month, who need AP automation but do not have a dedicated automation team. Our clients are typically e-commerce companies selling on 10 or more marketplaces, or multi-location operators running 50 or more sites across parking, care, hospitality, and retail. We serve companies in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, and across Europe.

Question 3

Do I need to replace my accounting system or ERP?

Accepted Answer

No. Quid integrates with your existing system — NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or DATEV. We add an AI layer on top of what you already have. Your ERP stays as the single source of truth.

Question 4

How long does it take to get started with Quid?

Accepted Answer

We go from first conversation to live automation in typically 4–6 weeks. Two weeks for an audit of your finance workflows, then we build and deploy your automations. You test every step.

Question 5

Is Quid a software tool or a managed service?

Accepted Answer

Quid is a managed service. We build the automations, run them, monitor them, and improve them. You buy the outcome — not a tool to manage. This is the fundamental difference between Quid and AP automation software like Bill.com, Tipalti, or Stampli.

Question 6

How is Quid different from Bill.com, Tipalti, or Stampli?

Accepted Answer

Those tools are self-serve software — your team learns a new platform and manages it themselves. Quid operates as a managed service: we run the workflows, handle edge cases, and maintain the automations. You do not need to hire anyone or learn any new software. Quid also handles marketplace settlement reconciliation and supplier portal connectivity at scale, which standard AP software does not offer.

Question 7

What is touchless invoice processing?

Accepted Answer

Touchless invoice processing means an invoice is received, validated, coded, approved, and posted to your ERP without any human intervention. Quid achieves an 80% touchless rate — meaning 8 out of 10 invoices are fully processed automatically. The remaining 20% are flagged as exceptions for your team to review.

Question 8

What is managed service AP automation?

Accepted Answer

Managed service AP automation means a provider builds, runs, and maintains your accounts payable automations on your behalf. Unlike self-serve AP software where your team configures and manages the tool, a managed service provider like Quid handles all setup, monitoring, exception handling, and ongoing optimization. You pay for the outcome — automated invoice processing — not for a software license you manage yourself.
