Accounts payable automation that enters every supplier bill as a draft

Accounts payable automation here is an AI employee that finds supplier invoices in your mailbox, enters each one as a draft bill with its PDF and files the PDF under the supplier. Anything it cannot enter exactly goes to a person instead of being guessed.

Running today for a client: supplier invoices and credit notes read from the mailbox and a drop folder, entered as draft bills.

The work it takes off you

Accounts payable automation removes the finding, reading, typing and filing of supplier bills, one at a time.

Supplier bills never arrive in one place. Some come attached to an email, some are forwarded by a colleague, some are scans, and credit notes are mixed in with them. By hand, someone opens each one, works out which supplier sent it, types the date, number and amounts into the accounting system, attaches the PDF and files a copy.

That is where the errors live: a bill entered twice, a credit note entered as an invoice, the same supplier coded to different accounts, a PDF that cannot be found when the accountant asks for it.

How the workflow runs: supplier invoice processing in steps

Supplier invoice processing runs the same route every time a new document arrives, and ends with a person.

  1. Ingest: the robot reads the mailbox and a drop folder where you can put scans or files from anywhere else.
  2. Normalise: it recognises supplier invoices and credit notes. Known layouts are read by template, scans by text recognition, and the rest with the help of a model. Each one becomes a clean record.
  3. Decide: anything it cannot enter exactly, such as a refund or an unknown supplier, goes to a person instead of being guessed. A new supplier is created only after the owner approves it.
  4. Generate: it creates the draft bill in your accounting system with the PDF attached, files the PDF under the supplier, and sends one notification per bill to the app.
  5. Sign-off: a person reviews the draft bill and approves it in the accounting system. Paying it stays with you.

What you get

You get every supplier bill entered, attached and filed, waiting for a yes.

Who it fits: an AI bookkeeper for any business with suppliers

It fits any business where supplier bills arrive by email and someone has to type them in, and it works like an AI bookkeeper that never approves its own work.

The rules it runs under

The bills robot enters drafts; it never pays, never approves and never guesses.

It does not create a supplier without the owner's approval, it does not post a bill as final, and it never moves money. Every action is written to an audit record, and a kill switch stops it in one command.

The AI employee is ours: it is rented monthly and runs on our servers against your own accounts, and the bills, the PDFs, the mailbox and the accounting records stay yours. If the rental stops, the workflow stops and you keep everything.

Questions, answered plainly

What is AI invoice processing?

AI invoice processing means a system reads a supplier invoice the way a person would, recognises who sent it and what it says, and turns it into an entry. Here the entry is always a draft, and a person approves it.

Does it pay my suppliers?

No. It never moves money. It enters draft bills; approving and paying them stays with you.

What happens with a supplier it has never seen before?

It does not guess. The document goes to a person, and the new supplier is created only after the owner approves it.

Does it replace my bookkeeper?

It takes the typing and filing off the routine. The checking and approving stay with a person, and the hours that come back can go to the work that needs judgement.
