Automatic entry of supplier invoices
Invoices arriving from hundreds of suppliers in different layouts are read, line items matched to stock records, and a draft purchase invoice is created in the ERP.
Overview
Classic OCR only turns pixels into text — it does not know which number is VAT or which line is the customer name. Intelligent document processing adds AI models on top of OCR: it classifies the document, extracts the fields you need, matches customers and products, and routes uncertain fields to a human. The “read but wrong” risk disappears and your team handles exceptions instead of typing.
How it works
Scope
Extracts line-level product, quantity, unit price, discount and VAT fields with the table structure intact.
Pulls out parties, term, value, termination and renewal clauses, and raises reminders before expiry.
Attachments landing in a dedicated mailbox and shared folders are processed in the background.
The document and extracted fields appear side by side; uncertain fields are flagged and corrections train the model.
Maps free text on the document to the right customer and stock record, and suggests new records when needed.
Every document is indexed by content, so “last year’s X contract” is found in seconds.
Industry Use Cases
The same technology removes a different pile of paperwork in each industry. Below are the use cases we meet most often in the field.
Invoices arriving from hundreds of suppliers in different layouts are read, line items matched to stock records, and a draft purchase invoice is created in the ERP.
The proof of delivery a driver photographs on mobile is read instantly; the shipment closes with signature and delivery time recorded.
Supplier vouchers and guest ID documents are read to auto-fill reservation and accommodation records.
Bank receipts and employee expense slips are read and matched automatically to the right ledger entry and cost centre.
Quality and maintenance forms filled in by hand on the shop floor are photographed and digitised, feeding measurement values into reports.
Incoming CVs become structured candidate records; diplomas, medical reports and leave forms are filed automatically.
