Cost Annual Savings
A case where 100,000 monthly invoices were automated with AI + OCR for a commerce/finance enterprise, saving hundreds of millions annually.
The Problem
Enterprises receive tens of thousands of invoices monthly. These invoices come in various formats like PDF, images, emails, and accounting teams must verify each one and enter into ERP. Errors cause issues with suppliers, and audits become difficult.
- Manual invoice (PDF/image) entry
- Delayed/erroneous processing of 100K monthly items
- 20 accounting team members at full capacity needed
- Cash flow delays, insufficient audit evidence
iPaaS Solution
When invoices arrive via email, AI automatically extracts content and enters into ERP. Only large amounts or unclear items go to person in charge for confirmation. All processing is logged for easy audit response.
- AI + OCR: Email attachment scan → data extraction (amount/date/supplier)
- ERP auto-entry + approval workflow
- Exception handling: AI verification then human routing
- Auto-generate audit evidence
Accelerated cash flow. Auto-evidence for audits dramatically reduced risk.
Lessons Learned
- 1Document processing is a representative success area for AI + OCR
- 2Structure for 'only checking exceptions', not full automation
- 3Must consider audit/compliance for actual adoption
