Overview
Esker builds cloud software for the office of the CFO. Its Source-to-Pay suite covers sourcing, supplier management (onboarding, compliance, risk), contracts and purchasing.
Accounts payable sits at the center: AI invoice capture, touchless processing, approval workflows. Payments and supplier ESG performance tracking round it out, and a mobile app lets managers approve requests, invoices and contracts.
Esker does not replace the ERP; the vendor says it integrates with more than 70 of them. Its AI, Esker Synergy AI, mixes machine learning, generative AI and agents. Esker says it trains its own language model without sharing customer data.
Esker was named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Accounts Payable Applications.
