hh2 AP Routing & Approval

Overview

Built for contractor finance workflows, hh2 brings invoice capture, job and cost coding, purchase-order attachments, and approval routing into one process. It supports multiple divisions or companies, a useful fit for contractors managing AP across entities. hh2 has operated since 2004, with a stated focus on connecting construction field and office teams.

Key features

Capture, coding, and ERP handoff

OCR extracts invoice data from digital submissions, while reviewers can assign job and cost codes and attach purchase orders or supporting documents. Approved invoices, coding, and payment data sync to the ERP, reducing re-entry between approval and accounting. The integrations directory covers Sage Intacct, Sage 300, Sage 100, Spectrum, Foundation, Vista, QuickBooks Desktop, and QuickBooks Online.

Configurable approvals and accountability

Invoices can be routed by job, vendor, amount, approver, or other rules. Thresholds, sequential and parallel reviews, and escalations let teams match approval paths to their processes; comments support discussion within the invoice workflow. Real-time status tracking and timestamped approval and audit histories make it easier to see where an invoice stands and who acted on it.

Access and support

hh2 says data is encrypted and protected with secure logins and role-based access. Mobile users can review and approve invoices securely. Guided onboarding, training, and ongoing customer service are included, and hh2 says most contractors are live within weeks—helpful for teams adopting a workflow that touches both field and office staff.

Pricing

Custom pricing; prospective customers are directed to book a demo. There is no published plan or price to compare before engaging with hh2, so budget-conscious buyers should factor in the need for a sales conversation.

Platforms

Available on web, Android, and iOS. Mobile use requires iOS 13.4 or later or Android 9.0 or later. Offline app features are limited until a network connection is restored, making it a weaker fit for teams that need to complete approvals without connectivity.

Who it's for

General contractors, heavy civil firms, industrial contractors, and specialty subcontractors are the named audiences. It is particularly suited to construction AP teams that code invoices to jobs, work across entities, and need a controlled path from invoice intake through ERP synchronization. Organizations outside construction or with simple invoice sign-off needs may find its specialized workflow less relevant.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Job- and vendor-based routing, thresholds, sequential or parallel approvals, and escalations support varied contractor review processes.
• Pros: OCR, coding, document attachments, and ERP synchronization connect invoice review with downstream accounting work.
• Pros: Multiple-entity handling, timestamped audit history, and included onboarding and support address operational complexity beyond basic approvals.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a demo conversation before buyers can assess cost.
• Cons: Mobile OS minimums and limited offline features may constrain older devices or teams working without a reliable connection.
