Know what your buildings owe without emailing accounting
The free plan processes 25 invoices a month with unlimited users, takes no credit card and does not expire. You get your own intake address at the end of setup.
The job today
What this actually looks like before anything is automated
Where the time goes
- · Vendor invoices go to a shared accounting mailbox you cannot see into.
- · You find out an invoice existed when the vendor calls about a late fee.
- · Approval requests arrive as forwarded emails with no context and no deadline.
- · You approve an amount without seeing what the invoice actually says.
- · Nobody can tell you what this building has committed this month without pulling a report.
- · An emergency call-out gets coded to the wrong property and shows up in the wrong owner statement.
What InletAP takes off you
- Each property gets its own intake address, so vendor mail is coded to the right building on arrival.
- Filter the inbox to your properties and see every invoice, its status and its due date.
- Approval requests carry the document, the property, the amount and the time remaining.
- A shared invoice covering five buildings reaches you as your building's share, not as a $12,000 total you have to argue about.
- SLA timers make it visible when something is about to go late — before the vendor calls.
- Approvals work from a phone browser, so a site visit does not stall the queue.
- Vendor history per property means you can see what this building normally pays.
What you get
The parts of the product built for this role
A mailbox per building
harborview@yourteam.inlet-ap.com routes to Harborview Apartments by default. Hand the address to the vendors who service that property and the coding starts out right.
Filter to what you own
Property, vendor, status, confidence, amount and date range, saved as a view. 'Everything outstanding on Cedar Ridge' is one click.
Time left, not just a date
Approvals are grouped by SLA urgency — due within four hours, on track — with an overdue badge rather than a due date you have to mentally subtract from today.
Approve from the field
The queue works in a mobile browser. Look at the document, approve or reject with a comment, keep walking the site.
Property-level defaults
Each property can carry its own approver, GL defaults and vendor mappings, so a new invoice for that building inherits the right coding without anyone remembering to apply it.
Vendor history in context
See what this vendor has billed this property before, which makes an unusual emergency call-out surcharge obvious at approval time rather than at close.
How you're measured
The numbers this role gets asked about, on a page you can open
On-time processing

Outstanding by property
What each building currently has awaiting approval, with the total value attached.
Overdue backlog
Invoices that have breached SLA, ordered by how long they have been sitting, with the approver they are waiting on.
