Every invoice is different. Your system should handle that.

Invoices arrive in 15 different formats. Someone reads each one, keys it into accounting, matches it to a PO, and routes it for approval. Every step is manual, every step is a chance for error, and month-end is always a scramble.

The Problem

Sound familiar?

×

Every vendor sends invoices in a different format — PDFs, emails, scanned images, spreadsheets. Someone has to read each one and key it into the accounting system by hand.

×

PO matching is error-prone and time-consuming. Line items don't always match exactly, and the rules for when to accept a variance live in the AP clerk's head.

×

Approval routing depends on amount thresholds, department codes, and vendor relationships that aren't documented anywhere — they're just "how we do it."

×

Month-end means a scramble to process the backlog. Duplicate invoices slip through. Discounts get missed. The close is delayed because AP isn't done.

How we fix this

We build an accounts-payable Habitat — a document ingestion pipeline that parses any invoice format, matches to purchase orders using formalized business rules, routes for approval based on your actual (not theoretical) thresholds, and feeds structured data directly into your general ledger. The tribal knowledge about vendor exceptions, variance tolerances, and cost code mappings gets captured once and applied consistently forever.

1

Discover

We audit your AP workflow — every vendor format, every exception rule, every approval threshold. We find the tribal knowledge that makes the process actually work (and breaks it when someone's out).

2

Structure

Invoice fields get mapped to a canonical schema. PO matching rules, variance tolerances, and approval routing logic get formalized. Cost codes and GL mappings get documented.

3

Build

An AI pipeline that ingests invoices in any format, extracts structured data with validated accuracy, matches to POs, flags anomalies, routes approvals, and posts to your GL — building the audit trail as it goes.
