    Manual data entry

    Your team shouldn't be typing data that already exists

    Every invoice, receipt, form, and PDF that hits your business contains valuable data. But someone has to type it into Xero, your CRM, or a spreadsheet. That's hours of manual work, prone to errors, and frankly boring.

    AI document processing reads your documents, extracts the data you need, validates it, and pushes it directly to your systems. Invoices flow into Xero. Receipts become expense records. Forms populate your CRM. All automatically, all accurately.

    We build custom document processing workflows that fit your exact needs - from simple invoice capture to complex multi-document workflows with approval steps and data validation.

    What to expect:

    • A review of your current document workflows and pain points
    • 2–3 automation approaches with accuracy and time-saving estimates
    • Transparent pricing: setup cost + monthly processing fee

    From invoices to contracts - if it's a document, we can process it

    Invoices & Bills

    Automatically extract supplier name, invoice number, date, line items, totals, and GST - then push directly to Xero or MYOB for approval and payment.

    • Supplier invoices → Xero/MYOB
    • Purchase orders → ERP systems
    • Delivery dockets → inventory systems
    • Utility bills → expense tracking

    Receipts & Expenses

    Capture receipt data from photos or PDFs, categorise expenses, extract GST, and create expense records automatically.

    • Staff expense claims
    • Petty cash receipts
    • Fuel and travel expenses
    • Client entertainment receipts

    Forms & Applications

    Extract data from customer forms, applications, surveys, and submissions - then route to the right system or team member.

    • Customer onboarding forms → CRM
    • Insurance applications → policy systems
    • Job applications → HR systems
    • Service request forms → ticketing systems

    Contracts & Legal Documents

    Extract key terms, dates, parties, and obligations from contracts, NDAs, and legal documents for tracking and compliance.

    • Contract expiry tracking
    • Lease agreement data extraction
    • NDA and confidentiality tracking
    • Supplier agreement terms

    Emails & Attachments

    Process data from emails and their attachments, including order confirmations, booking details, and customer communications.

    • E-commerce order confirmations → ERP
    • Booking confirmations → calendar/CRM
    • Customer enquiries → support tickets
    • Delivery notifications → inventory systems

    ID Documents & Verification

    Extract and verify data from driver's licences, passports, and other identity documents for KYC and compliance.

    • Customer identity verification
    • Staff onboarding documentation
    • Contractor verification
    • Age verification for restricted products

    Four steps from document to data

    Capture

    Documents arrive via email, upload portal, mobile app, or direct integration. We accept PDFs, images, scans, and even photos taken on phones.

    • Email forwarding (forward invoices to a specific address)
    • Upload portal (drag and drop interface)
    • Mobile app (snap a photo)
    • Direct integration (from your systems)
    • Bulk upload (process historical documents)

    Extract

    AI reads the document, identifies the type, and extracts relevant data. Our models are trained on NZ documents and understand local formats, GST, and business terminology.

    • Text and numbers (amounts, dates, codes)
    • Tables and line items
    • Checkboxes and selections
    • Signatures and stamps
    • Relationships (which line items belong to which invoice)

    Validate

    Data is validated against your rules: Does the GST add up? Is the supplier in your system? Is the amount within expected range? Flagged items go to a human for review.

    • Mathematical checks (totals, GST calculations)
    • Business rules (approved suppliers, budget limits)
    • Format validation (dates, account codes)
    • Duplicate detection
    • Anomaly detection (unusual amounts or patterns)

    Deliver

    Clean, validated data flows directly to Xero, MYOB, your CRM, or any system with an API. You get notifications, reports, and a complete audit trail.

    • Xero (invoices, bills, expenses, contacts)
    • MYOB (sales, purchases, inventory)
    • HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce (contacts, deals)
    • Custom databases and systems
    • Webhooks for custom workflows

    Where document automation fits

    Packaging Products: E-commerce Order Intelligence

    Challenge: All web sales from Custom Box flowed into a single account in their ERP, making it impossible to track individual customers, identify trends, or target high-value buyers for rep follow-up.

    Solution: AI scrapes order confirmation emails as they arrive, extracts customer details, order values, product types, and frequency. Creates individual customer records, generates reporting dashboards showing trends and high-value customers, and builds a fresh marketing database.

    Result: Unlocked visibility into web customer behaviour, identified high-value customers for rep outreach, enabled targeted marketing campaigns, and provided trend analysis that was previously impossible.

    Order confirmation emails → Customer database + reporting dashboards

    Example: Accounting Firm Invoice Processing

    Challenge: Hundreds of supplier invoices a month across multiple clients, all typed into Xero by hand.

    Solution: AI extracts invoice data (supplier, date, amounts, line items, GST) from emailed PDFs, validates against client rules, and creates draft bills in Xero for approval.

    Result: Invoice entry becomes a review-and-approve step instead of retyping, freeing staff for advisory work.

    Supplier invoices (PDF) → Xero bills (draft for approval)

    Example: Clinic Patient Form Processing

    Challenge: New patient forms filled out on paper, then manually typed into practice management system - creating delays and errors.

    Solution: Patients complete forms on tablets or paper (scanned). AI extracts patient details, medical history, contact information, and consent. Data flows directly to practice management system.

    Result: Less retyping of patient details, fewer transcription errors and faster patient onboarding.

    Patient intake forms → Practice management system

    Example: Construction Receipt & Expense Management

    Challenge: Field staff submit hundreds of receipts monthly (fuel, materials, meals). Manual processing takes days and often has missing or incorrect information.

    Solution: Staff snap photos of receipts via mobile app. AI extracts merchant, date, amount, GST, and category. Creates expense records in Xero with receipt images attached.

    Result: Expenses tracked as they happen, with receipt images and GST captured for each claim and faster reimbursements for staff.

    Receipt photos → Xero expense claims
