Invoice Capture
Invoice Capture Process
Cleardata’s intelligent invoice capture and processing services can transform your supplier invoices into manageable data, enabling you to cut out unnecessary operating costs and focus on paying your suppliers on time. We offer a complete outsourced service from mail room handling and sorting, document scanning, intelligent invoice capture, validation and processing using Kofax technology.
Our intelligent capture solutions can help your business automate manual processes, reduce costs and save time. Automated processing will improve data capture accuracy, speed up invoice processing, identify bottlenecks, reduce supplier queries and help your business go paperless.
Step by step approach
Our invoice processing service automatically captures data from your invoices, extracts and validates the data against key criteria and rules and provides a digital file, compatible with your existing financial system.
- Invoice Capture at any point of origination: We can handle all formats of paper and digital invoices
- Data Extract: Our solutions automatically extract the required data from your invoices
- Validation: Extracted data is validated against pre-defined rules using ‘fuzzy logic’ to qualify the content
- Release: Images and data are released to your target system(s) e.g. Sage, Oracle, SAP in any required format
We can capture your invoices from any point of origination, e.g. multi functional printers, scanners, your mail room, email, fax or supplier networks, delivering touch less processing and dynamic case management. Our invoice scanning bureau captures over 3 million images every month.
Invoice verification
From time to time our solutions will detect a problem with an invoice; a mark on the page, missing data, a torn page, etc. When a problem is found, the system escalates the invoice to an Operator who verifies the content of the invoice and any captured data to ensure it is correct and complete. Once completed, the invoice will be released as normal. This manual intervention means that we can maximise the success of the service and keep your AP Operations running effectively.
