In today’s hectic business world, managing supplier invoices is often a major challenge. Mountains of documents, information to be extracted manually, risks of errors… What if an intelligent solution could transform this tedious task into a smooth, fast process? This is precisely the promise of a powerful AI Assistant, capable of analysing and searching the very content of your invoices and answering your questions in the blink of an eye.
Beyond OCR: When AI Understands Your Invoices
For a long time,OCR (Optical Character Recognition) was the leading technology for digitising documents. It made it possible to transform an invoice image into editable text. This was an important step, but OCR merely ‘read’ the characters, without really ‘understanding’ the context or semantics of the content.
Today, AI Assistants go much further. Thanks to advances in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, these tools are capable of :
- Automatically identify and extract key data: invoice number, date, total amount, VAT, supplier and customer information, etc.
- Understanding the structure of an invoice: Even if the format varies from one supplier to another.
Search for specific unstructured information: This is where the real revolution lies.
True Power: Integral Research in the Body of Bills
Imagine no longer having to open each invoice to find specific information. An AI Assistant with full search capability in the body of invoices means you can :
1. Instantly find any detail in your invoices
Need to know how much you spent on a specific product (e.g. “HP 305 ink cartridges”) over a given period? Or locate all the invoices mentioning a specific purchase order number? Or obtain the total amount spent on a given supplier between a given date and a given date? An AI assistant can scan thousands of invoices in a matter of seconds and provide you with the relevant documents, even if the information is buried in the detail lines.
2. Simplify audits and controls
During an audit, requests for precise information are common. Rather than manually digging through archives, you can use AI to search for keywords, item codes, service descriptions or any other textual data present on invoices, considerably speeding up the process and ensuring compliance.
3. Refining the analysis of expenditure
Beyond simple data extraction, this in-depth search capability opens the door to a more granular analysis of your spending. You can identify trends, spot anomalies or gain a better understanding of your operational costs based on details that were previously inaccessible without a tedious reading of each invoice line.
