The Problem

Office manager types 20-50 invoices per week into QuickBooks. Price hikes from suppliers go unnoticed until you are mid-job and over budget. This automation extracts invoice data with OCR, cross-checks against historical pricing, and flags duplicates, errors, and price increases.

How It Works

Input

Supplier invoice PDFs (email or photo) + historical pricing

Transformation

AI extracts vendor, items, quantities, prices, totals. Cross-checks history. Flags duplicates, errors, price increases.

Output

Batch import for QuickBooks. Exception report. Price alert: 'Ferguson up 12% on copper fittings.'
