The challenge of manual invoice processing
Manual invoice processing can be a time-consuming and error-prone process. It requires human intervention at every step, from receiving and scanning invoices to processing and approving payments.

How does automatic invoice processing work?
Digital Input
With automated invoice processing, invoices are received digitally and entered into an automated system. This can be done via email, uploading to an online platform or even through scanning technologies that convert paper invoices into digital files.
Data extraction
Advanced algorithms are used to extract important information from invoices, such as vendor information, invoice amounts and payment terms. This data is then automatically entered into the accounting system, eliminating manual data entry.
Workflow automation
In automated invoice processing, systems automatically forward invoices to the appropriate people for approval and payment, including workflow automation. This helps streamline the approval process and reduce payment delays.
