Invoice matching

Supplier invoices are read from the inbox, matched to the job’s purchase order and queued for approval, with differences flagged.

Illustrative workflow with fictional data. Nothing is sent, no accounts are connected and no AI service is called.

A supplier invoice arrives by email. It is checked against the job before anyone pays it.

The brief

A fictional contractor pays dozens of supplier invoices a month. Each one is checked against a purchase order by hand, and overcharges are easy to miss.

Design goals

  1. Catch differences early

    Every line is compared with the purchase order, and anything that does not match is flagged.

  2. Pay with confidence

    Bills are prepared, but nothing is paid until someone in accounts approves it.

  3. Know your job costs

    Approved invoices update the job’s costs, so margins are visible while the work is underway.
