WickedFile vs BILL

Which Is Right for Your Auto Repair Shop?

Your shop processed hundreds of parts invoices last month. Somewhere in that stack, you're losing money, overcharges, missing cores, pricing errors. The question isn't whether to automate AP. It's whether your solution understands auto repair.

WF
WickedFile

AI-powered AP reconciliation purpose-built for auto repair. Matches every part on every invoice to every repair order. Catches overcharges, missing credits, and pricing errors before you pay.

BILL
BILL

General-purpose financial operations platform for SMBs across all industries. Strong AP/AR automation, vendor payment network, and corporate card offerings. Integrates with major accounting systems.

CORE DIFFERENCE
BILL moves money. WickedFile tells you whether you should be moving it. BILL processes invoices without knowing what's on the repair order behind them. WickedFile matches every line item to the RO, flags missed core credits, and catches the discrepancies that generic tools are structurally blind to.
