Accounts payable and invoice processing, built on the SmartImage suite

Every invoice read, checked and posted.

Invoices arrive from every direction, and finance pays for each one twice: once to the supplier, once in capture effort. This solution ends the second payment.

The solution

What it does

Accounts Payable and Invoice Processing is a SmartImage solution built on the suite. Leap reads invoices, credit notes and debit notes from every source: email, scan and supplier portal, with the mailroom rules engine handling what arrives by inbox. Header and line data, tables included, is extracted and the figures verified before structured, validated data lands in your finance or ERP system. Every invoice links to its purchase order and is archived in Conserve, so the documents behind any payment surface together, within milliseconds, through xPlore's accounts-processing view. Exceptions go to validators, not into the void.

Every source, one flow

Email, scan and supplier portal land in one pipeline, with the mailroom rules engine routing everything that arrives by inbox.

Read, checked, verified

Header and line data extracted with tables intact, and the figures verified before anything posts to your ERP.

The payment's paper trail

Invoices link to their purchase orders, so the documents behind any payment surface together, within milliseconds, when queried.

How it works

Step by step

Every invoice follows the same four steps, whatever channel it arrives on. Your accounts payable team stops capturing and starts approving.

01
Capture

Invoices, credit notes and debit notes collected from email, scan and supplier portal; the mailroom rules engine handles the inboxes.

02
Extract

Header and line data lifted with tables intact, whichever supplier and layout the document comes from.

03
Verify

The figures are checked before they post; exceptions go to validators, not into the void.

04
Post and link

Validated data lands in your finance or ERP system; the invoice links to its purchase order and archives in Conserve.

Capabilities

What the solution does

Multi-source capture

Email, scanned paper and supplier portals watched continuously, with the mailroom rules engine deciding how every inbox-borne invoice is handled.

Table and line extraction

Header and line data lifted intact with OCR and machine learning, table structure preserved, whichever layout the supplier sends.

Figures verified

Totals and line data are checked before they post, so what reaches your ledgers has already survived scrutiny.

Exceptions to validators

What extraction cannot settle with confidence queues for a person, in one place, with everything needed to decide. Never into the void.

Linked to the purchase order

xPlore's accounts-processing view links invoices to their purchase orders, so the documents behind any payment surface together, within milliseconds.

Archived in Conserve

Every invoice lives on in the system of record, governed by retention rules and controlled access, ready for the auditor.

26 → 2

invoice capture staff to validators, same 24-hour SLA At a South African scanning bureau, invoices, credit notes and debit notes once needed 26 people to download, classify and capture within a 24-hour SLA. On SmartImage, the inboxes read themselves and the data extracts itself; today 2 people validate the exceptions, and approvals move faster than the paper ever did.
