I was in California three days last week talking to customers. Actually, I did more listening. As a result of my conversations, it became clear to me that our strategy and vision is aligned with the needs expressed to me by our customers.

The investments AvidXchange is making today in our API’s , integration framework, and electronic data capabilities will greatly reduce costs and dramatically improve the value of business data that resides in the application.

The fruits of this labor will become available to customers in April.

AvidXchange is going to introduce a variety of new features over the next few months that will, in the aggregate, dramtically improve the performance and functionality of AvidInvoice. The next series of post we’ll highlight how we plan to implement these features, why we have prioritized them, and the business value to customers.

(As always, we intend for this to be a discussion; this is the forum to provide direct feedback to AvidXchange and to the general Community at-large.)
