How does invoice capture work?
1 - Collection
We will set up and manage a dedicated PO box for all incoming invoices from your suppliers. Once received, all mail items will be logged onto our internal tracking system.
2 - Scanning
Mail items will be opened, manually prepared (removal of paperclips/staples) and scanned to the required output (for example, PDF).
3 - Capture
Once scanned into a digital file, our team will begin the process of extracting key data from the invoices such as supplier name, date, invoice number & more.
4 - Delivery
Captured data will be formatted into a CSV/Excel file and transferred via SFTP. Alternatively, we can feed your back office finance system with the data (eg Sage, Oracle, Pegasus).
Invoice capture benefits
Dealing with challenges surrounding the accounts payable process can feel like a nightmare, but it doesn’t have to be!
With our invoice capture solution, you can rely on automated processes which can bring your business several benefits:
Streamlined process
We will handle the everyday tasks of importing data into Sage, Oracle or whichever financial system your company uses; meaning you can make payments to suppliers and generate reports without delay. We will even set up a PO box to receive incoming invoices from your supplier's on-going.
Improved accuracy
Outsourcing your invoice capture service to us removes the risk of overpayments and duplicating invoices, in addition to instilling confidence that compiled financial reports and statements are error-free. We continue to invest in the latest automated solutions, including OCR and ICR technology, to achieve accuracy levels up to 99.9%.
Enhanced Productivity
By leaving us to handle all basic accounting tasks, your employees can focus on important businesses activities. Achieving accounts payable productivity is a critical element in improving business operations and can help meet targets.
Invoice processing challenges
In today's digital society, we would expect simple accounting tasks such as invoicing to be replaced with accurate, automated processes such as Storetec’s invoice capture service.
However, in reality, thousands of businesses continue to employ staff to complete entry-level accounting tasks.
Not only is this a waste of financial resources, but it can also lead to several other challenges:
- No matter how reliable your workforce is, occasionally there will be cases of human error. Such mistakes could be overpayments or duplicating invoices; both of which could have a drastic impact on financial performance.
- Manually inputting data from invoices into accounts payable systems such as Sage can be extremely time-consuming and a drain of company resources which could be better used.
- Failure to pay invoices on time could cause mistrust and confusion between your business and the supplier; affecting future interactions and negatively impacting credit rating.
OCR invoice scanning
You may be thinking, how do Storetec capture specific data from invoices? The answer is that we use sophisticated OCR technologies to capture data from predetermined fields, such as supplier name, date, quantity, etc.
OCR is simply the recognition of printed or written text characters by a computer. In simple terms, OCR converts a page or picture into an electronic image. The engine will break down any potential letter shapes, character-by-character, analyse the electronic image, and then translate the character image into text characters. The result is a string of characters and spaces, matched from the database of different font characters held within the OCR software.
