Manual Invoice Entry Is Killing Your Admin Team

Construction businesses process dozens to hundreds of supplier invoices per month. Every one that gets entered manually is time your team isn't spending on billable work — and every manual step is a chance for an error.

Manual Invoice Processing

  • Receive invoice by email or post
  • Open PDF, read through line items
  • Manually type into Xero, MYOB, or spreadsheet
  • Match to purchase order by hand
  • File the original — hope nothing was missed
  • Errors, delays, re-entry. Every. Single. Invoice.

✓ With AI Extraction

  • Invoice arrives by email or upload
  • AI reads and extracts all data instantly
  • Line items, totals, GST, supplier details captured
  • Matched to purchase orders automatically
  • Pushed into Xero or your system — ready to approve
  • Minutes of work. Near-zero errors.

How AI Invoice Extraction Works

The system slots into your existing invoicing workflow. No change to how suppliers send invoices — the automation handles everything on your end.

1

Invoice received

Supplier sends invoice by email or you upload a PDF. The system picks it up automatically.

2

AI reads and extracts

Supplier name, ABN, line items, quantities, prices, GST, and totals extracted in seconds.

3

Matched and validated

Cross-referenced against purchase orders. Discrepancies flagged for human review.

4

Pushed to your system

Data entered into Xero, MYOB, Excel, or your job management software — ready to approve and pay.

What the System Handles

Real Example

A construction company processing 80–100 supplier invoices per month was spending 8–10 hours on manual entry. After implementing AI extraction, that dropped to under 30 minutes of review time. The bookkeeper now handles twice the invoice volume without additional hours.

"We used to spend half a day every week just entering invoices. Now it's 20 minutes of checking. The system catches errors we used to miss."

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with Xero?

Yes. We integrate directly with Xero's API. Extracted invoice data is pushed as draft bills, ready for your approval before payment. We also support MYOB, Google Sheets, and custom systems.

What happens if the AI misreads an invoice?

Low-confidence extractions are flagged and routed to a review queue. You approve before anything is entered. The system learns from corrections over time.

Can it handle invoices from different suppliers with different formats?

Yes. The AI handles variable invoice layouts — it reads semantically rather than relying on fixed templates. Works for most PDF formats, including scanned documents.

Does it handle Australian GST requirements?

Yes. The system identifies and separates GST from line items and totals, consistent with ATO requirements and Xero's bill structure.

What's the setup cost?

We start with a free 30-minute audit. Focused implementation starts from $1,000, with the final scope depending on your accounting system and invoice volume. Most businesses recover this within the first month of time saved.
