Description of Problem
High-Volume, Manual Invoicing & Approvals: Time-consuming, error-prone
The client manually processes more than 500 invoices each day. They receive invoices from multiple vendors in different formats like PDFs and scanned graphic files. The team needs to download and save each invoice from various sources, including email and vendor portals.
Although the client was using an existing application to extract metadata from invoices, it was not reliable. It still required team members to manually extract invoice data, enter that data into a database, and route the invoices to approvers, requiring manual verification of several documents. The process for Finance staff to approve invoices, which required team members to compare data from multiple systems, was time-intensive, slow, and error-prone.
