Kofax Is Now Tungsten Automation

Kofax is now Tungsten Automation. The company rebranded in 2024, and its products were renamed with it: Kofax Capture became Tungsten Capture, Kofax TotalAgility became Tungsten TotalAgility, and Kofax Power PDF became Tungsten Power PDF. Nothing was discontinued. The same intelligent document processing and capture technology is sold under a new name, so Kofax and Tungsten Automation refer to one product family.

If you are researching invoice capture software and keep bouncing between pages that say Kofax and pages that say Tungsten, this explains why. The rebrand created a stretch where old documentation, review sites, and partner pages still use the Kofax name while the vendor's own site uses Tungsten. Here is what actually changed, what stayed the same, and what it means if you are choosing a tool to pull data off your vendor invoices.

What happened to Kofax?

Kofax changed its corporate name to Tungsten Automation in 2024. The company was founded in 1985 as Kofax Image Products and spent decades as a leader in document capture. After acquiring Tungsten Network, a B2B e-invoicing platform, in 2022, the group adopted the Tungsten Automation name to reflect a broader intelligent automation portfolio that now spans capture, process orchestration, robotic process automation, and e-invoicing. The Kofax brand you knew is the same business under a new label.

Which Kofax products were renamed?

The rebrand carried through to the product line. The technology did not change, only the name on the box. If you are matching an old contract or a review to the current catalog, this table maps the main products.

Why did Kofax rebrand to Tungsten Automation?

Kofax rebranded to signal that it is more than a document capture vendor. When the company started in 1985, capture was the whole business. Over the following decades it added process automation, RPA, analytics, and, through the 2022 acquisition of the Tungsten Network, a global e-invoicing platform. The single Tungsten Automation name ties those pieces together and moves the company away from being known only for scanning and OCR. For buyers, the practical takeaway is that the rebrand is about positioning, not a change to the underlying capture engine.

Is Kofax Capture being discontinued?

No. Kofax Capture was not discontinued, it was renamed to Tungsten Capture. Existing licenses, integrations, and deployments carried forward under the new name. If you read that Kofax Capture is gone, that is the rebrand being misread as an end of life. The product is still sold and supported. What has changed is the label and the parent brand, so support articles and downloads may now sit under Tungsten Automation rather than Kofax.

What is ReadSoft now?

ReadSoft, the invoice capture product long associated with accounts payable shared service centers, now sits inside the Tungsten Automation portfolio. It kept its role of reading supplier invoices and pushing structured data into ERP and AP systems. Teams that ran ReadSoft for high-volume invoice capture are using the same category of tool, now under the Tungsten name. If your organization already runs it at scale with an IT team and an implementation partner, the rebrand does not force any action.

Does the rebrand change anything for existing Kofax customers?

For most existing customers, day-to-day operation does not change. Contracts, license keys, and deployed systems continue to work, and support moves under the Tungsten Automation banner. The main friction is cosmetic: internal documentation, vendor records, and procurement systems may still say Kofax, so it is worth noting the mapping above so nobody thinks they are running two different products. If you are due for a renewal, it is a natural moment to compare what you are paying against lighter, self-serve options, especially if you only use the platform for invoices.

Should you switch off Kofax for invoice processing?

It depends entirely on scope. If you capture many document types at high volume across departments, need on-prem or private-cloud deployment for compliance, and have IT plus a systems integrator to run it, the Tungsten Automation platform is built for that scale and a rebrand is no reason to move. But a lot of teams bought Kofax for one job: reading vendor invoices into their accounting system. For that job, an enterprise capture platform is heavier than it needs to be. A focused tool that reads any vendor layout on the first upload, with no implementation project and published flat pricing, gets the same clean data faster. If invoices are your main use case, the honest comparison is laid out on the Kofax alternative page.

Whichever way you go, the value is in the structured data, not the tool itself. Once invoice headers, totals, tax, and line items are captured cleanly, that same vendor spend can feed downstream systems, from AP approvals to reporting, and even into tools that classify each purchase into an audit-ready emissions footprint for sustainability reporting. Getting extraction right at the front of the process is what keeps every downstream step running on accurate numbers.

Is Tungsten Automation the same as the Tungsten Network?

They are related but not identical, and the overlap causes real confusion. Tungsten Network was a B2B e-invoicing platform that Kofax acquired in 2022, and it is where the Tungsten name came from. Tungsten Automation is the current name of the whole company, formerly Kofax. So the e-invoicing network is one product inside the broader Tungsten Automation portfolio, while Tungsten Automation is the vendor. If a colleague mentions Tungsten for supplier invoicing, ask whether they mean the e-invoicing network or the capture and automation platform, because they solve different parts of the invoice workflow.

What to check before renewing a Kofax license

A rebrand and a renewal are a good moment to confirm you are still paying for what you use. Before you sign, it helps to answer a few questions honestly. How many document types do you actually capture, or is it really just invoices? Do you need on-prem deployment, or would a hosted tool meet your security requirements? How much of your annual cost is software versus implementation and maintenance services? Who inside the company can support the platform if your integrator relationship ends? If most answers point to invoices only, with a small team and no appetite for infrastructure, a self-serve extraction tool likely covers the job at a fraction of the total cost of ownership.

The short version

Kofax is now Tungsten Automation, the rebrand happened in 2024, and the products were renamed rather than retired: Kofax Capture is Tungsten Capture, Kofax TotalAgility is Tungsten TotalAgility, and ReadSoft continues under the Tungsten name. Nothing was discontinued. If you run the full platform at enterprise scale, keep going. If you only need vendor invoices turned into a spreadsheet, a self-serve invoice tool covers that job without the enterprise overhead.
