Invoice capture and PO matching for AP teams
AP teams at mid-size companies need automated invoice capture and PO matching from scanned PDFs.
Why it can work
- Vendor PDFs get retyped by hand into spreadsheets.
- Month-start cleanup consumes the first week of each month.
- Matching to purchase orders and chasing approvals is manual.
Watch out
- Existing ERP OCR may fail on varied supplier formats.
- Line-item rounding mismatches still need human review.
