Intelligent Invoice Processing

The Challenge

AP teams manually extract data from invoices, match to purchase orders, verify amounts, and route for approval. Each invoice takes 15-20 minutes of manual processing.

The AI Desk Solution

AI Desk extracts invoice data, matches to POs, flags discrepancies, and routes for appropriate approval.

The Workflow

Step 1: Invoice Arrives

Trigger: Invoice email or upload
Sources: Invoice PDF, PO database, vendor records

Step 2: Extraction & Matching

• OCR data extraction
• PO matching
• Amount verification
• Vendor validation

Step 3: Processing Summary
