Imagine a world where invoices process themselves, and you're free to sip your coffee while the computers do the heavy lifting. Sounds like a dream? Well, buckle up, because with AI, that dream is about to get real!

The old-school way vs the AI way

Okay, so if you've been reading our previous articles, we've discussed a lot about how traditional invoicing is not an effective method, and I'm not going to bore you again.

We all agree that, as an accountant or a business owner, going through countless quotations and invoices is no fun.

It's a journey that can make even the most patient people reconsider their life choices.

The AI way is always the best

With the power of artificial intelligence, invoice processing becomes a seamless process. AI can make your invoice nightmares disappear.

Aspect Traditional invoicing AI invoicing
Data entry Manual Automatic
Processing time Time consuming Time saving (up to 73%)
Accuracy Low to Medium due to human errors Medium to High
Cost efficiency Labor intensive Cost-effective (up to 81% cheaper)
Integration with other apps Limited integration Seamless integration

What is the role of AI in invoice extraction?

AI plays a crucial role in invoice extraction by automating the process of capturing relevant information from invoices.

  • It understand any type of invoice even if it has a different layout or format.
  • It easily recognizes invoice characters and extracts information such as invoice date, invoice number and line items.
  • It helps to reduce errors as data is processed with a high level of accuracy.
  • It can also be trained to extract only specific invoice data that you need.

AI-powered invoice extraction solutions can seamlessly integrate with other business systems, such as accounting software and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.

AI lowers processing costs by 81% and speeds up processing times by 73%.

The best AI tool to extract data from invoices

AI-based invoicing tools are everywhere. The question is, "Which is the correct one for your business?"

Well, it depends on your requirements:

  • How many invoices do you process on a daily and monthly basis?
  • Do you need a tool that can process large amounts of data quickly?
  • Are you tech-savvy or not?
  • Do you need to send data to an accounting system or ERP?

If you receive only 1 or 2 invoices per month, the traditional method will work. But if you are a mid-sized or large company, it's time that you get a new friend to support you along the way.

Who will be your invoicing friend? Parseur, of course!
