Four ways to cut invoice data entry, from e-invoices to AI that reads every line, and why checking a simple invoice can take seconds instead of minutes.

How do you stop typing supplier invoices into your accounting software? A simple invoice takes a few minutes to key in: the supplier, the date, each line, the VAT and the total. At three hundred invoices a month, that is about twenty hours of typing.

There are four ways to cut it. Ask suppliers for e-invoices, which arrive as data instead of paper. Use your accounting software's built-in scanning for simple bills.

Use a capture tool that reads scans and PDFs. Or use AI that reads every line, checks it, and posts the bill for you. With line-level AI, the job becomes read, check, post.

It fills in every line with its code and VAT, and flags anything it isn't sure about. You check the supplier, the date and the total, then register the bill. Checking a simple invoice takes seconds, not minutes.

So twenty hours of typing becomes two or three hours of review. Try it on your own invoices. The first twenty are free, at invoreg.com.
