The Accounts Payable Bottleneck

In distribution, healthcare chains, and construction firms, finance teams process hundreds of incoming vendor invoices monthly. Every invoice comes in a different format — some as digital PDFs, others as scanned receipts or physical paper.

Manually entering invoice numbers, line items, tax breakdowns (CGST/SGST/IGST), and HSN codes into Tally or ERP software takes hundreds of staff hours and leads to human entry errors.

Production AI Infrastructure in Action

Simb Technologies deploys an Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Engine that automates accounts payable entry.

[ Incoming Invoice PDF/Image ] ──► [ AI OCR & Parser ] ──► [ Tax & HSN Validation ] ──► [ Draft Voucher in Tally/Zoho ]

How It Works:

  1. Document Ingestion: Invoices are automatically captured from a designated upload portal, WhatsApp document, or folder.
  2. AI Line-Item Extraction: LLMs and specialized OCR extract header details, line items, unit prices, tax rates, and total amounts — regardless of the invoice layout.
  3. Automated Purchase Voucher Posting: Verified invoice data is pushed directly into Tally Prime or ERP ledgers as a draft purchase voucher.
  4. Human-in-the-Loop Review: Only invoices with price discrepancies or unverified vendor details are flagged for manager approval.

ROI & Payback Timeline

  • 90% Reduction in Processing Time: Invoice processing drops from 12 minutes per bill to under 30 seconds.
  • 100% Tax Audit Accuracy: Correct HSN and GST input tax credit matching prevents costly tax reconciliation penalties.
