Invoice Capture Process

  1. Automated Invoice Collection: Our system starts by gathering invoices from various sources, including email attachments, cloud storage, and physical documents via scanning. This ensures that all your invoice data is consolidated into one manageable platform.
  2. Advanced Data Extraction: Leveraging state-of-the-art Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), our service accurately extracts data from each invoice, regardless of format or layout. Our AI models are trained to understand the nuances of different invoice designs, ensuring high precision in data capture.
  3. Data Validation and Integration: After extraction, the data undergoes a rigorous validation process to ensure accuracy. It is then seamlessly integrated into your existing Accounting or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. This integration facilitates real-time data flow, enhancing financial operations and decision-making.
  4. Continuous Learning: Our AI models continuously learn from each invoice processed, improving their accuracy over time. This means the more you use our service, the smarter and more efficient it becomes at data capture.

Comments from our clients

Thanks for completing the job on time and with so much care and attention. These are our archive documents that told the Anglian Water story from over 40 years ago; it was really important that they were scanned well and returned to us in the same condition. Pearl kept me up to date with progress of the project and return dates.

Anglian Water Services

The process from start (requesting a quote) to finish (receiving the deliverables) with Pearl Scan Solutions was a quick and efficient process. Grateful that we were kept updated with the progress. In addition, as we were unsure of our initial requirements they were able to talk through the options and assist in ensuring we weren't going to end up paying more than we needed to! Great service, that we'll certainly use again.

Digital Barriers services Ltd

After we were let down by our previous supplier Pearl took over our project quickly and efficiently. They were a great team to work with, and deadlines were always met and even exceeded! Pearl are always professional and all of the data provided was to a high quality. We look forward to working with them again in the future.
