The challenge
Thousands of supplier invoices a month were processed by hand in the accounting system, and every consolidated bill was built manually. The work was repetitive, error-prone and slow.
What we proposed
- An agent ingests supplier documents, extracts and validates the data and consolidates multiple invoices into a single master bill.
- The draft bill is pushed into the accounting system with the source documents linked for traceability.
- A person reviews before anything posts, and the system adapts as invoice formats change.
Projected impact
- Manual effort on invoice-to-bill workflows projected to fall by 74%.
- Fewer data-entry errors through automated extraction and validation.
- A path to further automation as the agent learns new formats.
