You do not always have to choose

For some teams the cleanest setup is both. Aviara Connect can act as the validation layer that catches errors and confirms the three-way match, so that only clean, contract-compliant invoices reach the system that actually pays them. Reconcile first, pay with confidence second.

Aviara Connect validates the invoice against the PO, the delivery, and the contract, and flags discrepancies.
