Invoice Automation FAQ

Which accounting systems do you support?

We integrate with your existing accounting platform—whether that's Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, or others. Our approach is platform-agnostic.

How accurate is the automated processing?

Most structured invoices achieve 95%+ field accuracy. When confidence is lower, items are routed for human review before posting.

Can we maintain our approval workflows?

Absolutely. We configure approval routes and business rules specific to your organisation with full audit trails.

How long does implementation typically take?

After initial discovery (2-3 weeks), most implementations are live within 6-8 weeks, with phased rollout to manage risk.

What about security and compliance?

We follow privacy-focused design principles with encrypted data handling and limited access permissions to your financial systems.

What's the typical ROI timeline?

Most clients see time savings within the first month, with full ROI typically achieved within 3-6 months depending on invoice volume.
