The Oil & Gas AP challenge

Every Invoice Requires More Than Data Entry.

A single service invoice can trigger a chain of operational, accounting and approval decisions.

  • 01

    Are the charges correct?

    Validate service rates, quantities and charges against field tickets, agreements and supporting evidence.

  • 02

    Where do costs belong?

    Assign expenses to the right wells, AFEs, entities and GL accounts, including split allocations.

  • 03

    Who must act?

    Resolve discrepancies and coordinate reviews and approvals across AP, Operations and Accounting.

The resultManual effort, delays, financial exposure and limited visibility.

Inside Kivo

Find the Discrepancy. Focus on the Decision.

Kivo brings invoice details, supporting evidence and validation results into one workspace, so AP teams focus on the exceptions that need attention.

01

Detect

Every invoice is checked as it arrives. Anything that doesn't match, such as a rate above agreement, a quantity above the field ticket, a possible duplicate or a closed AFE, lands in one queue with the reason and the amount in question.

02

Compare

Kivo lines up the invoice, the signed field ticket and the rate sheet, and highlights exactly what differs. Reviewers see all the evidence in one place instead of hunting through email, folders and spreadsheets.

03

Decide

A reviewer sees one plain question, what Kivo read, the evidence behind it and a suggested answer. They choose an answer, the reason is kept with the invoice, and it moves to the next step.

04

Allocate

Kivo codes each line to the right well, AFE and GL account, and splits shared costs using the field ticket, such as hours by well. Review the coding, then download GL coding and AFE allocation files to load into your ERP.

05

Configure

Write business rules the way you'd explain them to a colleague. Kivo shows how it reads each rule and tests it on past invoices, so you see what would pass and what would go to a person before the rule goes live.

Developed byXaltaBuilt onOutSystems
  • Industry-focused

    Designed for Oil & Gas AP: field tickets, rate agreements, wells, AFEs and split allocations.

  • Built on OutSystems

    Runs on OutSystems Developer Cloud, a secure, scalable, enterprise-ready platform.

  • Delivered by Xalta

    Domain expertise, implementation and ongoing support from the team that builds Kivo.

Xalta’s track record

We've Automated Oil & Gas AP Before.

Before Kivo, Xalta automated accounts payable for a deepwater operator using RPA and custom scripts.

40%

more invoices processed, with AP workload largely unchanged

60%

less time spent on vendor invoice coding

Results from Xalta's earlier RPA and custom-script work for one deepwater operator, before Kivo. They describe that engagement and do not predict results with Kivo.

Kivo brings that experience into one intelligent AP solution.

More detail

Questions, answered

Explore how Kivo works and what to expect from the customer pilot.

Read the full pilot terms ↗
What does Kivo do with an invoice, from arrival to approval?

Kivo reads the invoice and its supporting documents, such as field tickets and rate agreements. It checks rates, quantities and charges against them and against your rules, then proposes GL coding and AFE allocations. Invoices that pass go forward; anything that doesn't is routed to the right person with the evidence attached.

Does Kivo replace OpenInvoice or our ERP?

No. Kivo works alongside the tools you already use. It handles the checking, coding and routing between receiving an invoice and recording it in your ERP.

Which ERPs does it work with, and does it post coding directly?

Kivo produces GL-ready coding and AFE allocation files that you load into your ERP, so it works with the ERP you have today. Posting directly to ERPs is on our product roadmap.

How do invoices get into Kivo?

You can upload files, or give each playbook (Kivo's steps and rules for one kind of invoice) a designated SharePoint folder. Kivo picks up new documents from that folder, and the playbook's reference data, such as rate cards and AFE lists, from a similar folder. Connections to other systems are on our product roadmap.

How are our rules set up, and who can change them?

You describe business rules in plain language, such as rate tolerances, approval limits or coding by vendor and service. Kivo applies them to every invoice. Only users you authorize can change them.

What does Kivo decide on its own, and where do people stay in control?

Kivo reads, checks, codes and routes. Your team sets the rules, reviews exceptions and approves. Kivo doesn't approve payments or post entries on its own.

What happens when Kivo isn't sure about a value or a charge?

It flags the item, explains why, and sends it to the right reviewer with the evidence side by side. The reviewer decides, and the invoice moves on.

Where is our data stored, and who can see it?

Kivo runs on OutSystems Developer Cloud, so application data is held in OutSystems' cloud. Files and reference data you share with us are stored securely by Xalta. To read documents, Kivo uses the language model you choose (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Mistral or Qwen models) with your own keys, so your agreement with that provider governs how it handles your data. Access is limited to your authorized users and Xalta's delivery team, under confidentiality terms. We're happy to walk your IT and security team through the details.

How long does a full rollout take after the pilot?

It depends on your invoice volumes, rules and systems. After a pilot we can scope a rollout with you and give an estimate. Any rollout is a separate agreement.

Is Kivo only for accounts payable?

Kivo is an intelligent AP solution. Oil & Gas AP is its first solution. Ask us about other finance and operations processes you'd like to automate.

Who can register?

Oil & Gas operators in the United States with their own accounts payable team. Service companies and non-operators are welcome to book a demo.

How are the three places chosen?

Xalta selects participants based on fit: invoice volume, the use case, data availability and team availability. Registering doesn't guarantee a place.

What does "up to $100,000 in pilot services" mean?

It's the combined estimated value of the services Xalta provides across all three pilots, not per company. It isn't cash, credit or a discount, and it can't be applied to a later purchase.

Does the pilot cost us anything?

There's no fee for Xalta's services. Each side covers its own costs, such as staff time and travel, and you pay the usage costs of your own language model account.

What do we need to provide?

Up to 100 past invoices with their supporting documents, the reference data and rules for the use case, and a process owner for about 2–4 hours a week. Your IT team provides API keys for the language model you choose and handles access and approvals on your side.

How long does it take?

We plan for 6–8 weeks once the pilot agreement is signed. That's a target, and timing depends on how quickly documents and feedback come through.

Are we committing to buy Kivo?

No. The pilot creates no obligation to buy anything, and any later engagement would be a separate agreement.

Does Xalta guarantee results from the pilot?

No. The pilot is an evaluation. We measure results together on your sample invoices and share them in a report, but we don't promise any particular outcome.

What happens to our data after the pilot?

We delete your files and data within 90 business days after the pilot ends, and confirm it in writing if you ask. Your originals stay with you.

Do we need to connect our live systems?

No. You share past invoices as files. If you prefer, Kivo can pick them up from a designated SharePoint folder.
