Use Case

Invoice & Receipt Processing

Manual invoice entry is a thing of the past.

Incoming invoices, expense reports, receipts – in many organizations these are still manually captured, reviewed, and transferred to systems. This costs time, produces errors, and frustrates everyone involved.

The Problem

  • Invoices arrive via email, mail, sometimes as photos
  • Someone has to manually enter data: supplier, amount, date, cost center
  • Matching with orders or contracts is tedious
  • Approval processes run via email or paper
  • End of month: stress, missing receipts, follow-up questions

The Solution

An AI system recognizes, extracts, and processes your receipts automatically:

01

Document Recognition

The invoice arrives – as PDF, scan, or photo. The system automatically recognizes: supplier, invoice number, date, line items, total amount, VAT.

02

Validation

Automatic matching with master data. Is the supplier known? Is the bank account correct? Does the amount match the order?

03

Workflow

Automatic routing to the right person for approval. Reminders for delays. Escalation when needed.

04

Handover

The approved invoice is automatically transferred to your accounting system – QuickBooks, Xero, or other systems.

Technology

  • n8n for workflow automation (open source, self-hosted)
  • Local AI models for text recognition (no data sent to external providers)
  • Interfaces to common accounting systems

Results

70-90% less manual data entry through automatic recognition
~0% error rate in data extraction and assignment
Hours instead of days from receipt to approval
100% GDPR compliant – all data stays on your servers
