Invoice processing and data capture that takes the keying off your finance team.

Supplier invoices arrive by post, email and portal — and someone has to key every one. We scan, capture, validate and post them for you: header and line data read to your codes and delivered into your finance system, in the UK, under ISO 27001.

Supplier invoice data captured and posted to a finance system
The problem

Accounts payable, without the data entry.

Every supplier invoice that lands has to be opened, read, coded and keyed before it can be approved and paid. It's slow, it ties up skilled finance people, and manual keying is where errors and duplicate payments creep in.

We take that whole step off your team. Invoices are captured to your fields and codes, checked against your rules, matched to purchase orders where you want it, and delivered into your ledger as clean data ready to approve.

You keep full control of approval and payment. We just make sure the data going in is accurate, coded and on time — for posted and emailed invoices alike.

What we capture off every invoice

Header, totals and line detail.

Supplier & invoice number

The supplier, invoice number and payment reference, matched to your supplier records.

Dates

Invoice date and due date, read consistently whatever format the supplier uses.

Net, VAT & gross

Totals captured and cross-checked so the figures posted actually add up.

Purchase-order number

PO numbers captured and, where you supply the data, matched to your orders.

Line items

Item codes, descriptions, quantities and values read row-by-row, across pages if needed.

Account & nominal codes

Coded to your chart of accounts so invoices post to the right place.

Frequently asked questions

Invoice processing FAQs

What is outsourced invoice processing?

We take your incoming supplier invoices — by post, email or upload — scan them, capture the data your finance team would otherwise key, validate it, and deliver it into your accounts or ERP system. Your people approve and pay; we take out the data entry.

Which fields do you capture from an invoice?

Supplier name, invoice number, invoice and due dates, net, VAT and gross totals, purchase-order number, account or nominal codes and payment references — and full line-item detail where you need it.

Can you capture invoice line items and tables?

Yes. Line-level capture is one of our specialisms: item codes, descriptions, quantities and values are read row-by-row, including where a line wraps across two rows or an invoice runs over several pages.

Can you match invoices to purchase orders?

Yes. Where you supply PO data, we can match captured invoices to purchase orders and flag exceptions — mismatches, missing POs or duplicates — for your team to review rather than chase.

Can you post the data into our finance system?

Yes. We deliver in the layout your finance or ERP system imports, or by secure file transfer, indexed to your supplier and nominal codes. Your approval and payment workflow stays exactly as it is.

Do you handle both posted and emailed invoices?

Yes. Paper invoices are collected or posted to us; emailed and PDF invoices come in through your digital mailroom or a dedicated inbox. Both are captured the same way, into one clean data feed.

Is invoice processing done in the UK?

Yes. Every invoice is handled by our own staff in our ISO 27001-certified UK facilities, with a full audit trail. Nothing is subcontracted or sent offshore.
