Document capture and coding by artificial intelligence

This is the feature everything else starts from: a document comes in as an image or a file, and leaves as a full set of data ready to post.

What it does

SaldeoSMART reads a document from a PDF, a scan, a photo taken on a phone, an e-mail or from KSeF, Poland's National e-Invoicing System, and pulls the data out of it: the counterparty, the number, dates, amounts, VAT rates and, with the right configuration, line items and barcodes too. On that basis artificial intelligence suggests a category, dimensions and a document type.

A person is left with what needs a decision: checking the suggestion, correcting the exception, approving it. No retyping.

Adding an invoice for capture: pick the month and the document type, OCR does the rest. (Polish interface) SaldeoSMART material
After capture you see straight away how much the system filled in on its own, and what still needs a check. (Polish interface) SaldeoSMART material
Comes in A document
  • PDF and scan
  • photo from a phone
  • e-mail
  • invoice from KSeF
Capture Data from the document
  • counterparty and number
  • dates and amounts
  • VAT rates
  • line items and codes (optional)
1 credit = 1 page
Coding by AI Category, dimension, type
  • a suggestion, not a decision
  • it learns your patterns
1 credit = 1 invoice from KSeF
A person Checks and approves
  • corrects the exception
  • does not retype
The route a document takes from arrival to approval. Credits are used in two places only: reading a page, and having the AI code an invoice from KSeF.

How this looks day to day

In an accounting firm documents arrive from clients in batches: through the portal, by e-mail, from the mobile app. Once they are captured, the accountant sees a list of items ready to check instead of a pile of scans. The more documents from the same supplier, the fewer corrections, because the system learns the pattern.

In a company it is usually cost invoices: they come in from e-mail and from KSeF, they code themselves, and the person who knows what the spend was for gets them for approval with the category and dimension already on them.

Worth knowing up front

Capture is very good. It isn't magic. A document the system sees for the first time (an unusual layout, a poor scan, a foreign supplier with a template of its own) needs a correction. After a few of the same kind, the corrections stop. We have been setting this up for clients since 2015, so most odd layouts are ones we have met before.

The second thing: capture quality starts at the scanner. A crooked photo taken in a hurry costs more time than it saves. It's one of those small matters we sort out with the team during implementation.

What we set up

Categories and dimensions to fit your chart of accounts, rules for the AI, counterparty recognition, coding schemes, and which documents should go through the AI at all and which straight to a scheme. That last decision has the biggest effect on the monthly credit bill.

The easiest way to judge this is on a document of your own. Send us a few of your invoices or book a demo, and we'll show you what the system makes of them before you buy anything.

The person who runs the demo is the one who later does the implementation and stays with you for ongoing support. Prefer to call? 513 805 506
