A chemical business operating in countries across Europe and Asia was manually extracting data from invoices and comparing with shipping data. Documents were received in both electronic and handwritten formats, written in various languages and contained multiple taxes making the processing of invoices slow, labour intensive, and prone to error.

Using software robots, the business automatically extracted invoice data, compared it to shipping data and updated the business systems. When invoices were complex or critical validation was required, a human was automatically looped into the process.

Thousands of invoices are now automatically processed every month, saving tens of thousands in printouts each year.
