Document & Invoice Processing

Your team shouldn't be typing what a machine can read

Invoices, purchase orders, receipts, contracts, forms: arriving as PDFs, scans, and email attachments, and getting retyped by hand into your accounting system. We build the layer that reads them, checks them, and files them, with a human reviewing only what genuinely needs a second look.

The cost isn't the typing. It's everything the typing causes.

Five to eight minutes per invoice doesn't sound like a crisis. Four hundred invoices a month does.

But the real cost sits downstream. A transposed digit becomes a payment discrepancy that takes an hour to trace. A missed due date becomes a late fee. A PO that was never matched to its invoice becomes a supplier dispute six weeks later. Month-end takes three days longer than it should because half the ledger was entered in the last 48 hours by someone rushing.

And nobody wants to do it, so it gets deprioritised, so it gets rushed, so the error rate goes up. The manual process doesn't just cost hours, it manufactures the exceptions that cost the most hours.

Document processing pays for itself in the errors it prevents, not the keystrokes it saves.
What We Process

If it's a document your team retypes, it's in scope

Supplier invoices and bills

Vendor, invoice number, dates, line items, tax, currency, and totals extracted and validated, then posted into your accounting system as a draft or a matched entry.

Purchase orders and delivery notes

Three-way matching between PO, delivery note, and invoice: quantities and prices reconciled automatically, discrepancies flagged with the specific line that doesn't agree.

Receipts and expense claims

Photographed receipts read, categorised against your chart of accounts, checked against policy limits, and pushed into your expense tool.

Contracts and agreements

Key terms pulled out: parties, dates, renewal and notice periods, payment terms, liability caps, into a searchable register, so renewals stop surprising you.

Forms and applications

Intake forms, onboarding packs, claims, KYC documents: fields extracted, completeness checked, missing items chased automatically.

Statements and remittances

Bank statements, supplier statements, and remittance advice parsed and reconciled against your open items, with unmatched entries queued for review.

Shipping and customs documents

Bills of lading, packing lists, and customs paperwork read into your order or inventory system instead of a spreadsheet somebody maintains.

Handwritten and low-quality scans

Faxed, photographed, skewed, and handwritten documents. Accuracy is lower and we'll tell you honestly where the line is, but a bad scan isn't automatically a no.

Not listed? Send us five real examples of the document and we'll tell you within a week whether it's a good automation candidate, before you commit to anything.

The honest answer: not 100%, and any vendor who says otherwise is selling you something

Extraction accuracy depends on the document. A clean digital PDF from a supplier who uses the same template every month is close to solved. A crumpled photographed receipt is not. Anyone quoting you a single accuracy percentage before seeing your documents is quoting you a marketing number. Here's how we handle that instead.

Every field gets a confidence score

The system doesn't just return a value, it returns how sure it is. You set the threshold. Above it, the document posts automatically. Below it, it goes to a review queue with the uncertain field highlighted and the original document beside it, so a human confirms one number in four seconds instead of typing twelve fields in six minutes.

Business rules catch what extraction can't

Confidence scores only tell you whether the text was read correctly, not whether the answer makes sense. So we layer your actual rules on top: line items must sum to the subtotal, tax must be the right rate for that vendor's jurisdiction, the invoice number must not already exist, the amount must fall within the range that vendor normally bills. A perfectly-read invoice that fails a business rule still gets flagged.

It gets better because corrections feed back

Every human correction is captured. Templates for your recurring suppliers get tuned against real errors, and the exception rate drops over the first few months rather than sitting where it started. This is exactly the work the monthly plan covers: a document pipeline that nobody tunes is a pipeline whose accuracy quietly decays as your suppliers change their templates.

The goal isn't zero human involvement. It's moving humans from data entry to exception handling, and shrinking the exception pile every month.

From document to posted entry

01

Capture

Documents arrive however they already arrive: a monitored inbox, a shared drive or SharePoint folder, an upload form, a scanner, or an API from your supplier portal. Nobody changes how they send you things.

02

Classify

The system identifies what each document is: invoice, PO, receipt, contract, something unrecognised, and routes it down the right path. Unknown types go to a queue rather than being force-fit into the wrong workflow.

03

Extract

Fields are read, including line-item tables, using the right tool for the document rather than one model for everything. Clean digital PDFs are parsed directly. Scans and photos go through OCR first. Variable, unstructured layouts go to a document model.

04

Validate

Confidence thresholds and your business rules run. Duplicate checks, PO matching, tax and total arithmetic, vendor lookup against your master list, currency handling.

05

Route and post

Clean documents post straight into QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Zoho Books, Tally, Sage, or your own database. Flagged ones land in a review queue. Approvals route to the right person, with escalation when they sit too long.

06

Monitor and tune

Accuracy, exception rate, and throughput tracked on a dashboard you can actually see. Templates retuned as supplier formats change, alerts if the exception rate climbs. This is the monthly plan, and it's scoped in from day one.

It posts into the system you already use

We don't ask you to move your accounting to a new platform. The extraction layer sits in front of what you're running today.

Your own API

If your system has an API, we can post into it. If it doesn't, and some older accounting software genuinely doesn't, we'll tell you before you commit, and propose a file-based import instead of pretending otherwise. We've built the accounting-sync side of this before, across QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, and a dozen other ledgers.

The same month-end, two ways

Supplier invoice entry

By hand

Open the email. Download the PDF. Read the figures. Type twelve fields into the accounting system. Check them. Rename and file the document.

5–8 min

Per invoice, error-prone once the pile builds up.

Automated

Read on arrival, validated against your rules, posted as a draft entry with the document attached.

Seconds

A person reviews only what was flagged.

PO matching

By hand

Find the PO. Compare quantities and prices line by line. Chase the discrepancy by email. Remember to follow up.

20+ min

Whenever anything disagrees.

Automated

Matched automatically, with the specific mismatched line surfaced and the supplier query drafted.

Exceptions only

You only see the ones that actually disagree.

Month-end close

By hand

A backlog cleared in a rush over three days, because entry was deprioritised all month.

3 days

Errors cluster exactly where you can least afford them.

Automated

The ledger is current because entry happened on arrival, every day, without anyone scheduling it.

Day zero

Close starts from a clean position.

Every hour of data entry you remove also removes the errors that hour was going to produce. That second saving is bigger, and it never shows up on the timesheet.

You may not need us for this

Plenty of teams are well served by an off-the-shelf tool, and we'd rather say so on the call than sell you a build you didn't need.

An off-the-shelf tool is probably right if

Your documents are standard invoices, your volume is modest, your accounting system is one the tool already integrates with, and you're happy working the way the tool wants you to work. It'll be live in days and cost less upfront.

A custom build makes sense when

Per-document pricing has stopped making sense at your volume, your documents aren't standard invoices, your validation rules are specific to how your business actually works, you need it posting into a system nothing supports natively, or your data can't sit on someone else's platform. You also own it outright, which matters if this becomes core infrastructure.

Honest answer: we often suggest starting with an off-the-shelf tool to prove the process, and building custom once you know your real volume, your real exception rate, and exactly which rules matter. That's a much better basis for the decision than a guess made upfront.

Email and inbox automation handles mail that arrives. Workflow automation moves data between tools when the steps are known. Document processing turns unstructured files into clean, checked data. AI agents make judgement calls where the next step isn't fixed in advance. Most document-processing projects are workflow automation with an extraction layer in front, which is exactly what this page is.

The extraction model, confidence scoring, and evaluation underneath this page is its own layer, covered on Generative AI & Custom LLMs. And if the destination for that data is specifically your ERP, the connection itself is its own scope, covered on ERP systems.

Security

Where your documents actually go

Invoices and contracts are among the most sensitive things a business handles. Three questions we get asked every time, answered plainly.

Where is it processed and stored?

Hosting is scoped to your project, with regional hosting available where data residency (for example EU or UK) is a requirement. We'll confirm the exact setup before any documents move.

Is our data used to train models?

No. We use commercial API tiers with training disabled, or self-hosted models where you need the data to never leave your environment. We'll show you exactly which providers are in the pipeline before you sign anything.

Who can see it?

Access is limited to the engineers on your project, under NDA, with access logged. We sign NDAs before discovery and work under a standard MSA and SOW with clear IP transfer terms.

And retention?

Retention is configurable per project rather than fixed, so processed documents and extracted data are kept only as long as you need them.

Common questions

On clean digital PDFs from recurring suppliers, field-level accuracy is high enough to post automatically. On poor scans and handwriting it's meaningfully lower. That's why we use confidence thresholds and validation rules rather than quoting one number: the system routes what it isn't sure about to a person instead of guessing.
It goes to a review queue with the uncertain field highlighted next to the original document. Someone confirms or corrects it in seconds, and that correction feeds back into tuning. Nothing posts silently on a low-confidence read.
A single document type into one system is typically three to four weeks. A full AP pipeline with matching and approvals is usually five to seven. The biggest variable is how many different formats you receive, not the volume.
No. We post into what you already use: QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Zoho Books, Tally, Sage, or your own database. If your system has no API, we'll say so upfront and propose a file-based import rather than promising an integration that doesn't exist.
There's no hard threshold, but below roughly a hundred documents a month a custom build rarely pays back quickly, an off-the-shelf tool usually will. We'll tell you which side of that line you're on during the call.
Often, with a higher exception rate. Send us five real examples and we'll tell you honestly what to expect before you commit to anything.
No. We use API tiers with training disabled, or self-hosted models where the data needs to stay inside your environment.
You do. Code, models, prompts, deployment pipelines, and documentation transfer to you on final payment. It runs in your accounts. If you stop working with us, it keeps running.
