What the AI did

Reads supplier invoices, checks them against purchase orders and company records, flags discrepancies for review and tracks each invoice from receipt to payment. Hooked into the firm's DELMIAWorks ERP.

The result

The software is expected to save more than 60 hours of admin a month.

Check before trusting

The 60 hours is a forecast made at the grant stage, so ask the supplier for measured hours from a live customer.

Prompt to try it

Test the job on your own material before buying anything. Replace the highlighted brackets.

I run accounts payable at a [INDUSTRY] firm with [NUMBER] staff. Here is a supplier invoice: [PASTE INVOICE TEXT]. Here is the matching purchase order: [PASTE PO TEXT]. Compare them line by line. List every difference in quantity, price, VAT or supplier details. Then tell me whether this invoice is safe to approve or needs a query, and draft a short query email to [SUPPLIER NAME] if it does.
