Where the Real Differences Are
Regulatory environment
Medius is built for Western AP compliance — SOX controls, VAT, and EU e-invoicing requirements. These are real compliance requirements for its target customers. India's AP compliance operates on a different framework: GSTN validation, IRN authenticity verification against the government portal, e-invoice mandate for companies above the turnover threshold, MSME payment timelines, and TDS deduction requirements. IQInvoice is built to enforce these checks as a blocking step before any ERP entry is created.
Compliance-first vs workflow-first
Medius leads with AI-driven invoice processing and approval workflow efficiency — getting invoices coded and approved faster. IQInvoice leads with a compliance gate — no invoice reaches the approval workflow until it has passed GSTN, IRN, and vendor legitimacy checks. For Indian mid-market companies, the compliance risk upstream of the workflow is the primary exposure. Improving workflow speed on non-compliant invoices does not solve the ITC reclaim or audit liability problem.
India ERP coverage
IQInvoice integrates API-natively with Tally — India's most widely used accounting platform — as well as SAP ECC, S/4HANA, Oracle Financials, NetSuite, and Dynamics 365. These integrations are built in-house, go live in 4-6 weeks, and include India-specific GL mapping. Western AP platforms typically do not include Tally in their integration catalogue, which is a significant gap for Indian mid-market deployments.
