Founded in 2012 in Vancouver, Canada, Beanworks set out to simplify and automate the complex accounts payable process for businesses. The company developed a cloud-based platform that manages the entire AP workflow, including purchase orders, invoice capture, coding, approval routing, and payment processing. In March 2021, Beanworks was acquired by Quadient, a global leader in business communication and shipping solutions. It has since been rebranded and fully integrated into the parent company's offerings as "Quadient AP," serving as a key component of Quadient's Intelligent Communication Automation platform.
