Where it started

An electrical contractor handles a high volume of supplier invoices every month. The tool they used to read them made frequent mistakes and gave no sign of which invoices were wrong.

As a result, the accounts payable team had to check every invoice by hand.

The constraint

Reading invoices accurately was not enough. The system had to know when it was unsure, so that people could trust the invoices it passed.

What we built

Automatic invoice reading

Invoices are read and checked against the contractor's own records.

A review screen

Invoices that need attention are shown to the team with the reason they were held.

Routing and approval

Each invoice goes to the right person for approval.

Who handles the exceptions

Anything the system is unsure about goes to a person, who can correct, accept or reject it.

What changed

The team no longer checks every invoice. Clean invoices move through, and the ones that need attention arrive with the reason attached.
