Smart AP for Yardi Breeze Premier Canada

Automation is no longer a future trend, it’s already helping Canadian businesses reduce manual work, improve productivity and boost returns. Companies embracing smarter workflows are seeing real results, thanks to faster processing, fewer errors and more time for strategic tasks.

For property managers using Yardi Breeze Premier, the benefits are both real and measurable. One of the latest features driving this change is Yardi Smart AP, a built-in tool that simplifies invoice data entry and moves invoices through your existing approval workflows, all within Breeze Premier.

What is Smart AP?

Smart AP reads emailed PDF invoices and automatically creates invoice records in Breeze Premier using an AI-powered OCR engine. Just forward a PDF to your designated email address. Within minutes, Smart AP keys in details like vendor name, amount, due date and property, then enters them directly into the system.

No manual typing. No uploads. No switching platforms. Just automatic placement of invoices right where they belong, so your team can move straight into review and approval.

Automated workflows, streamlined results

Smart AP works seamlessly with your Breeze Premier approval workflows. Invoices are automatically routed, approved or flagged for review — including helpful features like soft rejections and re-routing when changes are needed.

This integrated approach helps property managers leave behind paper processes in favour of a faster, more connected way to work.

It’s about simplifying, not replacing

Manual invoice entry is time-consuming and prone to error. Smart AP takes care of the repetitive work, helping your team stay focused on the tasks that matter most.

And the best part, there’s no extra cost or additional setup required.

Built to scale with your portfolio

Whether your portfolio includes residential, commercial or condo/strata properties, Smart AP is ready to grow with you. No separate logins or third-party tools required.

From small teams to large, mixed-use portfolios, Smart AP delivers consistency and speed across your accounts payable operations.

Get ahead with AI-powered payables

Smart AP is more than a convenience. It’s a better way to work. By reducing manual data entry and accelerating approvals, your team saves time, improves accuracy and increases visibility across all stages of invoice processing.

As technology continues to evolve, more areas of property management will benefit from smart automation. With Breeze Premier and Smart AP, you are already on the path to a more efficient, scalable future.
