BLP Digital has announced a $50 million investment from Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, marking a significant step in accelerating the adoption of agentic AI in enterprise resource planning (ERP). The company focuses on automating high-volume finance processes such as Accounts Payable, helping organizations reduce manual effort, shorten financial close cycles, and improve cash flow and working capital outcomes.
BLP Digital’s platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing ERP environments, offering a scalable alternative to traditional technologies such as OCR, RPA, and workflow-based automation. Its approach specifically targets finance functions, where governance, transparency, and control remain critical.
A New Approach to ERP Automation with Agentic AI
Unlike conventional automation strategies, BLP Digital embeds AI governance directly within business functions rather than treating automation as a standalone IT initiative. The platform replaces fragmented technology stacks with a unified execution architecture, breaking down finance workflows into smaller, manageable tasks handled by specialized AI agents. These agents are coordinated through a “Digital Twin,” which orchestrates processes and ensures consistent execution.
This structured, task-level approach enhances control and auditability across financial operations. Each step in the workflow remains clearly defined and traceable, allowing organizations to avoid the risks associated with opaque, black-box automation systems. The Digital Twin consolidates data from ERP systems, emails, and process workflows, determining when automation should proceed independently and when human input is required—while maintaining a fully auditable record of all actions.

Driving Measurable Impact Starting with Accounts Payable
BLP Digital’s deployment strategy begins with Accounts Payable, a highly standardized yet complex process where improvements can be quickly measured. Organizations using the platform report faster processing times, reduced error rates, and improved working capital positions without requiring extensive ERP reconfiguration.
The platform’s pre-built AI agents are designed to operate across multiple customers without requiring extensive project-specific training. With standard integrations into systems such as SAP, proALPHA, and Abas ERP, companies can begin testing and deploying solutions within days rather than undertaking lengthy customization projects. Over time, the solution can expand into adjacent functions including procurement, logistics, and sales.
“CFOs today do not need further technology experiments, but rather future-proof solutions that are immediately reflected in the company’s bottom line,” explains Tim Beck, CEO of BLP Digital. “The entry of Goldman Sachs Alternatives as a growth investor underscores our mission. We help large companies operate their ERP-driven operations with AI agents that function reliably under real-world conditions. Our vision is to have virtually no more manual exceptions in high-volume workflows. AI agents do the work across the entire process, and in the case of genuine special cases, a human expert explains the context to the AI and thus trains it further – with full transparency and clear controls.”
Alexander Lippert, Managing Director at Goldman Sachs Alternatives, adds: “BLP Digital addresses a clearly defined and significant opportunity at the intersection of enterprise modernization and AI-supported automation. We are convinced that BLP Digital is very well positioned to become a category leader and to support companies in modernizing their core processes, increasing operational efficiency, and translating the use of AI into measurable business results.”
Moving Beyond AI Pilots to Real Financial Outcomes
As many organizations move past experimental AI initiatives, the focus is shifting toward solutions that deliver measurable financial impact. BLP Digital positions its platform within existing ERP governance frameworks, ensuring that automation aligns with defined rules, exception thresholds, and accountability structures.
Roger Niklaus, Head of Accounting at Migros, and client of BLP Digital says: “In order to handle such high volumes daily amidst increasing complexity, a process and automation DNA has always prevailed at Migros.” Migros is organized as a cooperative, is the largest private-sector employer in Switzerland, and generates an annual turnover of CHF 32 billion with its more than 90,000 employees. “With BLP Digital, we found the platform right on our doorstep that brings state-of-the-art AI from ETH research into our finance function. Within one year, BLP Digital was successfully introduced across all cooperatives as part of the S4 transformation. The results are so good and the potential so great that we are already in the process of rolling out BLP Digital in further company areas and additional processes.”
With this investment and its agentic AI architecture, BLP Digital aims to redefine how enterprises modernize ERP-driven operations—shifting from fragmented automation experiments to scalable, controlled, and outcome-driven execution.
