Invoice processing that prepares the draft, not the typing

Someone is retyping numbers that already exist in a PDF. This reads the document, checks it against your records, flags what does not match, and leaves a draft waiting for approval.

The workflow
  1. Invoice in
  2. Fields read
  3. Matched to PO
  4. Gaps flagged
  5. Draft ready
  6. You approve

Who this is for

Any office with a shared inbox full of invoices, purchase orders or forms — and one person who spends their week moving those numbers into an accounting system by hand.

How it works

  1. 01

    The document is picked up where it already arrives

    A shared inbox, a folder, a scanner. Nobody has to change how suppliers send things.

  2. 02

    The type is identified

    An invoice, a credit note, a purchase order and a statement each need different handling. Getting the type right first prevents most downstream errors.

  3. 03

    The fields are extracted

    Vendor, dates, line items, totals, tax. From the document as it is, including the suppliers whose layout has not changed since 2003.

  4. 04

    It is validated against your own records

    Totals recalculated, the purchase order matched, the vendor checked against the ones you actually use. Extraction without validation just moves the typo faster.

  5. 05

    Discrepancies are flagged and a draft is prepared

    Anything that does not reconcile is raised for a human rather than quietly rounded. What lands in your system is a draft, ready for a person to approve.

Where it stops

It stays a draft. Nothing is posted and nothing is paid without a person approving it. That rule does not relax once the system has proven itself — it is the design.

What we measure

We agree on these two before we build, and report them after.

  • Fields read correctly
  • Drafts needing no correction

Questions

Which system does the draft land in?

The one you already use. We have built import and reconciliation pipelines feeding QuickBooks and office systems, and the draft is created there rather than in a new tool.

What about suppliers whose invoices all look different?

That is normal and it is handled. The system works from the fields it needs to find, not from a fixed template, and unusual layouts get flagged for review rather than guessed at.

Can it pay the invoice too?

No, and we would push back if asked. A person approves anything that moves money. The value here is in removing the typing, not in removing the approval.

Why start with this one?

It is the easiest to prove. You can test it on sample documents, the result is easy to measure, and nothing it does is irreversible. If your phone rings more than your inbox fills, start with missed calls instead.

How accurate is it?

We will not quote you a number before we have seen your documents — anyone who does is guessing. We measure field accuracy on your real paperwork during the build and report it honestly, including where it struggles.

What happens to the original document?

It stays attached to the draft, so whoever approves it can see the source without going back to the inbox.
