Prevent Fraud
Catch it before you pay it.
Pulsify detects duplicate invoices, vendor master anomalies, and approval bypasses automatically - protecting your business from the AP fraud that costs Australian businesses billions every year.
Prevent Fraud
AP Automation
AP fraud is more common than you think
Duplicate payments, fictitious vendors, and invoice manipulation are the most common corporate fraud types - and manual processes can't catch them at scale.
Duplicate detection
Catch duplicate invoices across different formats, slightly different amounts, and different submission dates. Pulsify checks every invoice against your entire history - not just exact matches.
Vendor master monitoring
Detect new vendors with bank details matching existing vendors or known patterns. Flag vendor master changes - new bank accounts, address changes, dormant vendors reactivated - for review before payment.
Enforced approval controls
Value-based routing, entity-specific approval rules, and mandatory approval chains - enforced by the system, not by trust. Every bypass attempt is logged and visible.
Anomaly alerts
Get flagged on unusual patterns - invoices just below approval thresholds, sudden volume spikes from low-activity vendors, or invoices that don't match historical supplier patterns.
Why Prevent Fraud teams choose Pulsify
Why Prevent Fraud teams choose Pulsify
"You've probably already paid a duplicate"
Studies show 0.1–0.5% of invoices are duplicates. At 1,000 invoices per month, that's real money leaving your bank account undetected. Pulsify catches them before payment.
"Manual checks can't scale"
Reviewing every invoice for fraud is impossible at volume. Pulsify checks every invoice against every rule, every time, automatically - no fatigue, no shortcuts.
"You find fraud at audit, not at payment"
If your fraud detection is 'the auditors found it,' you're paying for it twice - once in cash, once in audit fees. Automated detection catches it before the money leaves.
"Employee fraud is the hardest to detect"
When someone inside your business manipulates vendor records or routes their own invoices through approval, normal manual controls fail. Vendor master monitoring and anomaly detection catch the patterns humans miss.
