Three things MarginEdge can't do

Verified Paid, not just "owed"

NEXOS reconciles every invoice against your actual bank activity via Plaid. Month-end is audit-ready — no surprise reconciliation pass. MarginEdge shows the AP queue; we show the cash reality.

Real-time, not queue-based

NexosIQ processes invoices synchronously — under 60 seconds to posted. MarginEdge batches through a human review queue, typically same-day but not real-time.

Semantic search, not keyword

Type "Summer Cocktails" in NexosIQ Search and find every invoice with mint, lime, and white rum — even if those words aren't in the invoice line items. MarginEdge requires exact matches.
