DocBits vs. Medius: AP Automation for Infor and SAP — and beyond

Most companies start with invoice automation. DocBits is built to grow with you — from AP into order confirmations, delivery notes, and more. Natively integrated with Infor LN, M3, CloudSuite, and SAP S/4HANA.

What sets DocBits apart from Medius

Both DocBits and Medius automate accounts payable: invoice capture, PO matching, approval workflows, and ERP posting. For most companies, both cover the AP basics.

Where they differ is what happens next.

Medius is a procure-to-pay platform. DocBits is focused: it starts with AP invoice automation and expands into other document types within your existing Infor or SAP environment — order confirmations, delivery notes, handwritten forms, all processed and posted directly into your ERP.

The second difference is architectural.

For Infor specifically: Medius connects via partner-built connectors — Antaras for LN CloudSuite, Columbus for M3. These are pre-packaged integrations, not native architecture. DocBits’ Infor connection is not an add-on — it is the foundation the product was built on.

For SAP S/4HANA: both tools integrate with SAP. The difference is scope — DocBits processes a broader range of document types beyond invoices, including order confirmations, delivery notes, and handwritten forms, all posted directly into SAP workflows.

That architectural difference affects implementation speed, data depth, and what you can automate beyond the AP function.

Frequently asked questions: DocBits vs. Medius

Does DocBits integrate natively with SAP S/4HANA?

Yes. DocBits integrates natively with SAP S/4HANA, covering invoice processing, PO matching, and broader document types including order confirmations and delivery notes. For companies running SAP, DocBits extends document automation beyond the AP function — without requiring additional middleware or third-party connectors.

Does DocBits integrate natively with Infor LN and Infor M3?

Yes. DocBits was developed by FELLOWPRO AG, an Infor-specialist company. The integrations for Infor LN, Infor M3, and Infor CloudSuite are native — not built via third-party connectors or middleware. This means shorter implementation times and a more direct data connection between your document processing layer and your ERP.

How does Medius connect to Infor ERP systems?

Medius integrates with Infor LN CloudSuite through its partner Antaras, and with Infor M3 through a pre-packaged connector developed by Columbus Global. These are certified partner integrations, not integrations built in-house by Medius. For companies with standard Infor cloud deployments, they work well. For highly customized or on-premise Infor environments, the additional partner layer can increase implementation complexity.

What is the typical implementation time for DocBits compared to Medius for Infor LN users?

Because DocBits connects directly to Infor LN without requiring a third-party middleware setup, implementation for Infor LN environments is typically faster. Exact timelines depend on your environment’s complexity, customization level, and the scope of document types you want to automate. During a demo, the DocBits team can provide a realistic implementation estimate for your specific Infor version.

Is DocBits a good alternative to Medius for manufacturing companies using Infor LN?

For manufacturing companies on Infor LN, DocBits is frequently the first choice. The combination of native Infor LN integration, support for complex PO matching scenarios common in manufacturing, and European e-invoice compliance covers the key requirements of this segment. Customer references include Sefar AG, GMM Pfaudler, and medi — all manufacturing or industrial companies running Infor ERP.
