Accounts payable automation
Lift line items, totals, tax, and payment terms off every vendor invoice so your AP queue clears itself instead of piling up in a keying backlog.
Employee expense capture
Turn photographed and scanned expense invoices into tidy rows for reimbursement, with out-of-policy items surfaced before anyone gets paid.
Supplier spend visibility
Roll thousands of invoices into one view to see which vendors cost the most, where spend is quietly creeping, and where a renegotiation pays off.
Audit trail preparation
Hand auditors structured exports that trace cleanly from the original PDF to every figure in the spreadsheet, no shoebox of paper to reconcile.
Cross-vendor consolidation
Blend invoices from dozens of suppliers, each with its own template, into a single normalized sheet ready for review and sign-off.
Year-end tax preparation
Produce categorized CSVs with VAT/GST splits and deductible totals so filing season starts with the numbers already crunched.
ERP-ready exports
Generate clean XLSX or CSV mapped to QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, or SAP fields, turning import from a project into a drag-and-drop.
Construction billing
Capture progress billing, retention, and change orders from contractor invoices and tie every dollar back to the right project.
Healthcare billing
Read procedure codes, charges, insurance adjustments, and patient balances off medical and dental invoices in a single pass.
Legal invoice review
Break out timekeepers, hourly rates, and disbursements from law-firm invoices for tighter budget control and LEDES-ready output.
Global invoice handling
Standardize invoices in any currency, keeping both original and converted amounts so consolidated reporting actually reconciles.
Duplicate & anomaly checks
Flag repeated invoice numbers, off-pattern amounts, and vendor details that don’t match before a wrong payment ever leaves the building.
Diligence data rooms
Normalize a target company’s invoice history into review-ready spreadsheets for financial diligence during raises and acquisitions.
Three-way matching
Line up purchase orders, supplier invoices, and receiving data automatically so you approve only what was actually ordered and delivered.
