Eliminate manual data entry reduces invoice processing costs
SOURCECORP will transform your labor-intensive, error-prone, and costly accounts payable processes into a streamlined operation. Unlike traditional data capture solutions that are template and keyword-based, our process excels by using advanced learning technology to "read" and "interpret" documents for sorting and data extraction. SOURCECORP can process multiple and changing invoice types, extract critical data and line item detail, and export data to existing financial, workflow, and enterprise content management (ECM) systems— significantly reducing the costs associated with document sorting, manual data entry, and validation.
Reap immediate cost reduction benefits
What makes our process unique is its ability to fit into your existing A/P process and provide immediate cost reduction. SOURCECORP will receive all incoming vendor invoices via PO Box, scan and capture the invoice details up front, so that appropriate data can be passed to all relevant areas within your organization. This eliminates redundancy and duplicate efforts while preserving your existing investment in line of business systems and critical business processes.

Through an easy-to-use, point and click interface, SOURCECORP "teaches" the system to sort documents and extract an unlimited number of data fields such as PO number, invoice date, invoice total, and line item detail. Our system understands and internalizes key data attributes such as format, position, and context, and can automatically process all future invoices that look the same or similar. With supervised learning capabilities, we can significantly accelerate time to production, typically within 90-days.
Typical Data Field Extraction Includes:
Invoice Number
Invoice Date
Invoice Amount
Vendor Name
PO Number
Easily Extract Line Item Detail
Our table analysis and extraction engine eliminates the need for complex coding and scripting. Through the "Advanced Verifier" interface, users simply click on the table in the scanned image and then map column data to appropriate column headings. The next time a similar invoice is presented, all of the information, including the line item detail, is quickly and accurately extracted−eliminating manual data entry. Accurate extraction of line item detail significantly reduces labor costs and makes it possible to automatically compare and validate line item data from the invoice against information in your ERP system.
Typical Line Item Data Extraction Includes:
Quantity
Description
Product Code
Unit Price
Line Total
Verified Data is Securely Delivered to You
Once the extracted data is scrubbed and verified for accuracy, we will securely delivery the data to you usually with 24 hours of receipt of the invoices. The data can then be imported into any ERP system, workflow engine or ECM document management system.
