How It Works?

Bring about new level of invoice processing performance

How It Works?
1

Choosing the RPA Platform

While implementing AP automation, choose between UI Path, a commercial RPA platform, or an open-source platform powered by a machine learning model.

2

Create and Deploy Unassisted RPA Bot

An unassisted RPA bot will be developed and deployed on hosting servers. This bot will operate without any human intervention throughout the business process.

3

Bot Daily Initiation

The bot will be initiated daily at a fixed time, ensuring regular and automated invoice processing.

4

Source Access

Once started, the bot will access the source, identifying where the invoices must be processed. It’ll use pre-saved credentials or an internal repository.

5

Machine Learning Training

The RPA bot is trained using a Machine Learning model to intelligently parse invoices, gather relevant information, and understand the content and context.

6

Three-Way Match

Once the information is stored, the bot then reads and carries a three-way match. It'll compare specific invoice data with an original purchase order or contract to ensure the invoice's validity for vendors, applicable VAT, invoice cycle, amount, etc.
