Invu

What Invu does

Invu operates as the document management and finance automation arm of Agilico Workplace Technology, a privately held UK software vendor headquartered in Chandler's Ford, Hampshire, with additional offices in Leicester, Gateshead and Edinburgh. The company sells an integrated suite — marketed under the 'Make Work Easy' banner — comprising Invu Document Management (a customisable, text-searchable document repository), Agilico Verify (a cloud-based accounts payable automation solution that captures, routes, and posts invoices into finance systems), Agilico POP (a cloud-based purchase order processing module launched in April 2025), and an on-premise Accounts Payable solution for customers requiring local deployment. The platform is deployed as both cloud and on-premise software and is differentiated primarily by its deep pre-built integrations with the dominant UK accounting and ERP platforms, including Sage 50, Sage 200, Sage Business Cloud Accounting, Xero, QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, IRIS Financials, iplicit and SME Professional.

The business model combines recurring subscription revenue (cloud products and InvuCare support/maintenance agreements that gate version updates) with on-premise software licensing and multi-year, quote-based contracts sold via a direct sales-led motion with demo booking as the primary conversion mechanism. A Partner Portal suggests an additional channel/reseller layer. The target customer is described as highly document-dependent and compliance-critical organisations — spanning mid-market and enterprise buyers — with explicit emphasis on independent schools and franchise-sector engagement (via British Franchise Association membership). No revenue, customer logos, or funding rounds are disclosed.

Strategically, Invu was rebranded under the Agilico parent brand, representing a corporate consolidation rather than a pivot, and the company has continued to ship incremental product updates (Invu DM Versions 6.26, 6.27 and 6.28 between April 2025 and May 2026). Its competitive moat rests primarily on ERP integration breadth and regional UK distribution rather than proprietary AI or data advantages — no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the source material. The vendor carries a Trustpilot 5-star rating and BSI Kitemark BS 8887 accreditation (for Agilico Zero managed print services), supporting credibility in the UK mid-market.

Core offering

Invu sells and supports a suite of document management and finance automation software under the Agilico "Make Work Easy" brand. Its core offerings are cloud-based accounts payable automation (Agilico Verify), cloud-based purchase order processing (Agilico POP), an electronic document management platform (Invu DM), and an on-premise automated Accounts Payable solution, all targeted at UK organisations that are highly document-dependent or operate in compliance-critical environments.

Product overview

Invu operates as part of Agilico's Make Work Easy suite, which is a platform-plus-modules architecture combining Electronic Document Management (eDM), Accounts Payable (AP) automation, and Purchasing solutions. The portfolio consists of four core products: Invu DM (document management), Agilico Verify (cloud-based invoice processing), Agilico POP (purchase order processing), and Accounts Payable (on-premise invoice processing). These products are designed for sectors that are highly document-dependent or where compliance is important for effective operations. Invu Document Management has undergone multiple version updates, with Version 6.28 being the most recent release available to InvuCare customers.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Yooz: Yooz is a cloud-based AP automation platform using AI-driven invoice capture — a direct analog to Agilico Verify. Both target finance teams replacing paper-based invoice processing and integrate with major accounting platforms (Sage, QuickBooks, Dynamics).
• DocuWare: DocuWare provides cloud document management and workflow automation, closely overlapping with Invu DM's eDM capabilities. Both target document-heavy mid-market organizations seeking compliance and process automation, with comparable cloud + on-premise deployment models.
• Stampli: Stampli provides AI-driven AP invoice automation with deep ERP integrations — directly comparable to Agilico Verify. Both pursue accounts payable digitization for finance teams with similar buyer profiles and integration-first architectures.
• M-Files: M-Files offers AI-powered document and information management with metadata-driven organization — closely paralleling Invu DM. Both serve mid-market document-dependent organizations with compliance and audit-trail requirements.
• Medius: Medius offers AP automation and spend management solutions that overlap with Agilico Verify and Agilico POP. Both compete for mid-market finance teams seeking automated invoice capture, PO matching, and approval workflows with ERP integrations.

Broad incumbents

• Sage: Sage is both a technology integration partner (Verify for Sage 50/200/BCA) and a broader incumbent offering its own native AP and document management functionality. As a UK-centric accounting platform giant, it is the most important adjacent player shaping Invu's competitive landscape.
• Basware: Basware is an established global provider of AP automation, purchase-to-pay, and financing. While overlapping functionally with Verify and POP, Basware operates at a much larger scale and serves enterprise customers, making it a broader incumbent rather than a focused niche peer.
• Tipalti: Tipalti provides end-to-end AP automation and global mass payments. It overlaps with Verify on invoice capture/AP automation but extends into payments and broader spend management, positioning it as a broad incumbent in the same FinTech/AP space.

Emerging players

• Rossum: Rossum is an AI-native invoice data extraction platform that competes with the capture/OCR layer of Agilico Verify. As an emerging player, it focuses narrowly on intelligent document processing — a specific layer of Invu's broader AP offering.

Others

• Kofax (Tungsten Automation): Kofax/Tungsten provides document management, AP automation, and intelligent capture at enterprise scale. It competes broadly with both Invu DM and Agilico Verify but operates as a much larger incumbent with a global footprint and wider portfolio.
