Prevent Fraud
Catch it before you pay it.
Pulsify flags possible duplicates, changed bank details and invalid ABNs before a bill reaches approval. That protects your business from the AP fraud that costs Australian businesses billions every year.

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
Pulsify flags a possible duplicate when the supplier and invoice number match, even if the number is spaced or punctuated differently. The approver confirms before approving.
Bank detail checks
The BSB and account number on each invoice are compared with the supplier record in Xero or MYOB. A difference is flagged for review before approval. ABNs are checked with the Australian Business Register.
Enforced approval controls
Routing by supplier, amount, account or job, through as many steps as you need. Every approve, reject and send back is logged with the person and the time.
Flags on every bill
Lines that do not add up to the total, an invoice addressed to a different company, GST charged by an ABN not registered for GST and a supplier not found in Xero or MYOB are all flagged.
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 flags them before approval.
"Manual checks can't scale"
Reviewing every invoice for fraud is impossible at volume. Pulsify runs every check on every invoice, every time. No fatigue and 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. Pulsify flags it before the bill is approved.
"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. Pulsify compares bank details with the supplier record, and every approval is logged with the person and the time.
