The problem it solves

Typing invoice details into a spreadsheet by hand is slow and easy to get wrong, especially when you're dealing with vendor invoices that all look different. Someone on your team is probably re-keying the same numbers every week.

Who it fits

A bookkeeper, accountant, or small business handling a steady stream of vendor invoices.

How it works

  1. You upload an invoice PDF through a simple form
  2. The document is sent for automatic reading and parsing
  3. The system pulls the invoice number, date, vendor, totals, and every line item
  4. All the data is combined into a single structured record
  5. An Excel file is generated with the complete invoice details, ready to download

We can build this. But should you?
