A $60B real estate company couldn't pay a bill because one employee retired. That's a tribal knowledge problem.
Featuring David Stifter, CEO of PredictAP — built from a real accounts payable crisis at Colony Capital.
David breaks down how AI-powered invoice coding is solving the massive, hidden problem of AP allocation in commercial real estate. From miscoded utility bills hiding $40K/month in late fees to staff getting promoted out of data entry, this conversation covers what happens when you give back-office teams the right tools — and why the ROI goes far beyond headcount reduction.
🏢 Why 80% of AP staff time goes to researching how to code 💸 Hidden late fees and misallocated expenses drain millions 🤖 AI as a tool, not a replacement — the augmentation argument 📊 Data insights that expose budget compromises before they compound 🧠 How to sell your first customers using existing relationships
