AI Finance
From 12-day invoice cycles to an automated accounting engine.
How we eliminated manual invoice processing across a fragmented ERP landscape with an AI document-understanding platform - and gave one finance team back 40% of its capacity for actual analysis.
Where the 12 days were going.
Hours lost to copy-paste. Quarters shaped by delayed approvals. A global finance team buried under its own paper trail.
A global finance team was running on friction. Invoice entry by hand. Validation against POs in a different system. Reconciliation across multiple ERPs that didn't talk to each other.
Every approval routed by email, chased by someone, re-sent, re-approved. Vendor relationships strained by late payments nobody could explain - because by the time anyone looked, the invoice was already two weeks old. The finance team wasn't underperforming. It was underwater.
A single processing layer across every ERP.
Built to connect the existing stack, not replace it.
Rather than consolidating ERPs, we built an AI processing layer on top of what already existed. Email, PDFs, ERP systems, and approval workflows all feed into a single intelligent platform that reads, validates, routes, and posts - without a human in the loop unless an exception demands one.
Reads PDFs and emails, capturing vendor, PO number, amount, due date, tax, and line items - with no manual keying.
Three-way matching flags discrepancies and routes only genuine exceptions for human review. Clean matches post without interruption.
Threshold, cost centre, vendor type - approvals flow to the right person automatically, with full context attached.
Ledgers update in real time. Payment runs schedule themselves. Every action logged for audit, nothing reconstructed after the fact.
Real-time dashboards surface cycle time, exception rate, spend by entity, and forward cash-flow projections - across every ERP, in one view.
Measured at 90 days.
Within ninety days, a 12-day invoice cycle became a 2–4 day one. The exception queue shrank. The audit prep that used to consume two weeks at quarter-end became a report. Sustained through the following two quarters.
12 days → 2–4 days.
Nearly half, processing end to end.
Via AI validation & anomaly detection.
Redirected to analysis & forecasting.
Dashboards across all entities.
Every action logged, nothing reconstructed.
“We stopped managing invoices and started managing cash flow. The difference is the whole job.”
