Access to Accurate AP Data for Sage

Timely Access to Accurate AP Data — No Longer a Conundrum

Sage ERP is a formidable management software that offers real-time insights into a company’s day-to-day operations and optimizes processes in HR, Accounting, Inventory, etc. But companies still have to deal with the complexity of getting timely access to data from a myriad unstructured source documents like vendor invoices and bills of lading for use in their Sage ERP systems. In fact, manual vendor invoicing and reporting is one of the biggest struggles for the accounting department in any company. Take the case of this firm specializing in audio/video equipment in the media industry — dealing with more than 800 vendors, they were unable to keep track of their purchases and inventory on a monthly basis. This prevented them from effectively leveraging their Sage accounting system to optimize payments and improve cash flows. What they needed was instant access to AP invoices, related data, audit trails, and support for multichannel submissions of invoices and sales orders.

Artsyl’s InvoiceAction does all that and more! InvoiceAction is an intelligent process automation solution for managing accounts payable operations. The solution employs digital transformation technologies like AI, Machine Learning, Intelligent Data Capture, and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to automatically capture vendor invoice details sent from emails, fax, FTPs, etc. and verify the details against a vendor database before approving and inputting all the data into your Sage accounting system.

Injecting Intelligence into Your Accounts Payable Operations

With InvoiceAction, you are saved from manually keying in data into the Sage ERP system. Intelligent Data Capture technology enables automatic identification and extraction of relevant invoice details from a document. Data is captured from known invoice formats based on pre-built logic — in cases where the solution encounters a new type of invoice for which it has no pre-configured knowledge/logic on where on the document to target in order to extract relevant details, it relies on user intervention the first time. InvoiceAction then learns these user actions and applies them for the next time it needs to capture a similarly formatted document. This way, the solution systematically builds a library of ‘learned business logic’ along with pre-built logic to be able to intelligently capture data from a diverse and vast set of source documents.
