Automate invoice processing

Stop typing invoices. Automize reads PDFs, scans and photos, checks the totals add up, and hands you clean data – or posts it straight to your ledger.

The trouble with reading invoices by hand

Every supplier lays out an invoice differently. Some are PDFs, some are scans, some are a photo on WhatsApp. Typing them in is slow, and a tired eye misreads a 7 for a 1. Basic scanning software copies the text but does not tell you when the numbers do not add up.

How Automize automates invoice processing

  1. Takes invoices from anywhere

    Email attachments, a shared folder, a scan, a photo. Each one is picked up without anyone opening it first.

  2. Reads every field

    Supplier, invoice number, dates, VAT number, line items and totals. Two reading engines read each invoice, and where they disagree the invoice comes to you.

  3. Checks the maths

    Adds the lines back up and checks the VAT, so an invoice that does not add up is flagged before it goes anywhere.

  4. Hands over clean data

    Download it as Excel, CSV or JSON, or let the Creditors Clerk post it to your ledger and carry on with the rest of the job.

What always comes to a person

Automize does the routine work and stops on anything that needs judgement. These always wait for someone on your team:

  • Any invoice the two reading engines read differently
  • A total or VAT amount that does not add up
  • A VAT number that fails the check

Questions people ask about automating invoice processing

Send invoices to one place – a mailbox or a folder – and let a system read, check and export or post them. With Automize you can start by uploading invoices to the free document tool, then move to a Digital Worker that does it every day.
It checks its own work. Totals are added back up, VAT is recalculated, and two reading engines must agree. Anything that fails a check is shown to you instead of being passed on.
