Finance Trends – Automatic Invoice Scanning with OCR Software

Invoice scanning processes can now be a simple and easy process with the advantage that once invoices are converter into a digital format you can use OCR technology to automatically extract all the necessary data from them. A new trend among Finance Professionals who until recently we struggling with the increasing number of documents received that had to be processes and authorized across different departments and multiple locations.

The challenge so far was not so much to have relevant data automatically extracted from the invoices but how to upload that data onto the accounting software being used by the company. That is where Sage users got a real advantage thanks to the document management solution created by Sage Platinum Developer Partner, PaperLessEurope, who developed a powerful invoice scanning software that manages all accounts related paperwork from scanning and adding electronic documents to processing them in Sage 50c, Sage 200c, Sage 200 Standard Online or Sage 200 Extra Online.

PaperLess uses the latest methodology Capture>Process>Archive to capture data at the start of the document workflow process so that all accounting documents can be digitised and handled more efficiently online.

How does PaperLess Invoice Scanning for Sage work?

PaperLess invoice scanning digitises your paperwork as early as possible in your business processes saving time and money.

The PaperLess edit TIF functions enable businesses to merge, split and re-organise documents electronically so working through a batch of paper documents is quick and easy.

Efficient document scanning software makes better workflow management. When businesses add a document to PaperLess, the document also has a unique number, which means your colleagues can easily locate a document at a later stage by entering this document’s unique number. Businesses can use the Scanning menu to add one or more documents at a time and control the scanner from PaperLess. Any twain compatible standard scanner at 300 DPI will work with PaperLess.

PaperLess document scanning software uses two layers of OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology to extract the relevant data from your invoices by using Automatic Invoice Recognition. PaperLess handles multiple suppliers with multiple document formats, and also supports XML invoices. Automatic Invoice Recognition saves time and reduces manual errors so workflow management in your organisation is more efficient.
