Intelligent Invoice Processing in brief

The problem

The finance team keyed hundreds of supplier invoices by hand each month from PDFs, scans and emails, then chased approvals over email.

The solution

We designed an autonomous workflow that watches the invoices inbox, extracts every field with document AI, matches lines to purchase orders and flags mismatches or duplicates.

The outcome

Manual keying removed from the invoice process. Faster approvals and a smoother month-end.

01 · The challenge

What was holding the business back

The finance team keyed hundreds of supplier invoices by hand each month from PDFs, scans and emails, then chased approvals over email. Month-end close was slow and error-prone.

  • Manual data entry from mixed formats
  • Approval delays over email
  • Duplicate and mismatched invoices slipping through

How we solved it

We designed an autonomous workflow that watches the invoices inbox, extracts every field with document AI, matches lines to purchase orders and flags mismatches or duplicates.

Clean invoices are routed to the right approver in Slack and posted to the ERP once approved, while exceptions land in a review queue with the reason already explained.
