See it in action

Watch the agent run on a real AP workflow.

Three-way match, exception handling, vendor follow-up, and a posted bill in SAP. End to end.

How it works

From vendor inbox to posted bill, hands-free.

Invoice intake — AP inbox monitoring
1
Automated intake
The agent watches your AP inbox and pulls every new invoice the moment it arrives. PDFs, scans, email bodies, or attachments inside zip files.
Data extraction from invoices
2
Data extraction
Reads line items, complex tables, signatures, and checkboxes. No fixed templates, no per-vendor setup. Cites the source position for every value.
Three-way matching — PO, GRN, and invoice
3
Three-way match + GL coding
Looks up the purchase order (PO) and goods receipt note (GRN) in your ERP, runs a 2- or 3-way match, and codes the general ledger automatically from your historical ledger and rules.
ERP sync and payment scheduling
4
ERP sync + payment scheduling
Creates the bill in SAP, NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Xero and schedules payment per your policy. Flags exceptions to a human before anything posts.

Capabilities

Reads what humans read. Acts where humans usually have to.

Signature & checkbox detection

Verifies internal approvals on POs and reads vendor forms, tax documents, and consent boxes accurately. Not just printed text.

Duplicate + credit note handling

Flags duplicate invoices before they post and routes credit notes separately. Splits consolidated PDFs into individual invoices automatically.

Human-in-the-loop on Teams or Slack

Low-confidence extractions, three-way-match discrepancies, or missing PO numbers route to a teammate with full context. The agent learns from the response.

Rules and learnings, not retraining

Vendor-specific rules, GL coding logic, approval thresholds live in a persistent rules layer. Add a rule in plain English; the agent uses it on the next run.

Multi-PO consolidated invoices

Handles invoices that reference multiple POs. Pulls each PO and GRN, reconciles line-by-line, and posts a single bill.

Full audit trail

Every decision, every rule applied, every document fetched, logged with timestamps. Streams to your SIEM on Enterprise.

“We eliminated manual invoice entry entirely. Our AP team now focuses on exceptions and vendor relationships.”
