Invoice processing automation that reads the PDF so your team does not retype it.

Supplier invoices arrive as PDFs in a shared inbox. Agents read each one, check it against the purchase order, and create a draft bill in your accounting tool. A person approves it before anything is paid or posted.

Problem

Retyping invoices is the job nobody chose.

Someone opens the PDF, copies the supplier, the date, the line items and the totals into the accounting tool, then checks them against the order. It is slow, and one wrong digit means a wrong payment.

The fix is not a tool that guesses. It reads the fields, checks them against the data you already hold, and stops when something does not match.

Nothing is paid or posted by the system. It prepares the draft, flags what looks wrong, and waits for a person to approve.

  • Invoices retyped by hand from PDFs and email attachments
  • Totals and tax checked by eye against the purchase order
  • Duplicate invoices that slip through
  • Month end spent chasing missing invoices

Who

Who this is for.

Teams where invoices pile up faster than anyone can type.

  • 01

    Finance and admin teams

    Small teams handling supplier invoices alongside everything else.

  • 02

    Businesses with many suppliers

    Different layouts from every supplier, all landing in one inbox.

  • 03

    Accountants and bookkeepers

    Client invoices collected, read and prepared for review in one place.

  • 04

    Teams on a modern accounting tool

    QuickBooks, Xero or any tool with an API, so drafts land where you already work.

Examples

What this looks like in practice.

Start with supplier invoices. Add the rest once it is trusted.

  • Supplier invoices from the inbox

    Each PDF attachment is read as it arrives and turned into a draft bill.

  • Purchase order match

    Supplier, amounts and line items checked against the order before the draft is created.

  • Duplicate and mismatch flags

    An invoice seen before, or one that does not match, is flagged for a person instead of passed through.

  • Receipts and expense claims

    The same reading and checking, applied to receipts once supplier invoices run smoothly.

Process

How the work runs.

Built and tested on your real invoices.

  1. 01

    Collect samples

    Recent real invoices, including the messy scans and the odd layouts.

  2. 02

    Define the checks

    Which fields matter, what they are matched against, and when the system must stop and ask.

  3. 03

    Connect inbox and accounting

    Draft bills only. Tested on past invoices before anything new runs through it.

  4. 04

    Go live with approval

    A person approves every draft. We tighten the rules by watching each mismatch.

Integrations

Wired to what you already run.

We plug in. The workflow does not wait on a new stack.

Outcomes

What changes when it ships.

  • 01

    No more retyping

    The draft is filled in. Your team checks it instead of building it.

  • 02

    Mismatches caught before payment

    Wrong totals and duplicates are flagged before anyone approves them.

  • 03

    A person approves every bill

    Nothing is paid or posted without someone on your team saying yes.

    A clear trail

    Each invoice is linked to its draft, its checks and the person who approved it.
