What is invoice capture?

Invoice capture replaces the traditional method of manually handling and processing invoices with a technology-driven approach which ultimately relieves the burden from your accounts team, therefore saving money and driving efficiency. 

It is the process of capturing data from invoices and either feeding it directly into your finance system or outputting it into a bespoke format to suit your needs. The solution aims to fully automate your accounts payable process, reducing the risk of error and saving time and resources.

You may be asking, how do Storetec capture specific data from your invoices? We use industry-leading Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to capture data from predetermined fields, such as name, date, invoice number, etc. 

OCR is the recognition and conversion of typed or printed text into machine-encoded text. Put simply, it converts an image of text into actual electronic text that can be used freely in a digital format. 

Captured data can then be transferred back to you via your preferred method, or Storetec can feed this data directly into your finance system, such as Sage, Oracle, or Pegasus.
