Enterprise AI
According to PEX’s industry research, only 31% of finance teams currently use AI in their operations, while 36% identify trust in AI accuracy as the biggest barrier to wider adoption. PEX aims to address these concerns by introducing automation gradually, enabling teams to evaluate its performance before delegating additional responsibilities. The launch builds on the company’s spend management platform, which provides corporate card, expense tracking and spending control capabilities for businesses.
The Bigger Picture
PEX AI reflects a broader shift in enterprise automation, where reliability and user confidence are becoming as important as efficiency. In finance, where errors can affect reporting, compliance and tax obligations, a phased approach to AI adoption could help businesses move beyond experimentation towards practical implementation. By prioritising repeatable, high-volume tasks before introducing more complex automation, PEX is positioning AI as a controlled support system for finance teams rather than a complete replacement for human oversight.
