Finance Invoices
Invoice Processing Automation
Bulk invoices processed automatically, with people handling only exceptions
A case where invoice processing was automated with AI + OCR for a commerce/finance enterprise.
The Problem
Enterprises receive a huge volume of invoices every month. These invoices come in various formats like PDF, images, emails, and accounting teams must verify each one and enter into ERP. Errors cause issues with suppliers, and audits become difficult.
- Manual invoice (PDF/image) entry
- Delayed/erroneous processing of high-volume invoices
- The whole accounting team needed at full capacity
- Cash flow delays, insufficient audit evidence
iPaaS Solution
When invoices arrive via email, AI automatically extracts content and enters into ERP. Only large amounts or unclear items go to person in charge for confirmation. All processing is logged for easy audit response.
- AI + OCR: Email attachment scan → data extraction (amount/date/supplier)
- ERP auto-entry + approval workflow
- Exception handling: AI verification then human routing
- Auto-generate audit evidence
