What is Emailed Invoice Capture?

Emailed invoice capture refers to the process of automatically extracting and processing invoice data received via email. This involves using AI and machine learning technologies to identify, extract, and validate key invoice details such as vendor information, invoice numbers, and amounts. Within the procurement ecosystem, this process is critical for maintaining accurate financial records and ensuring timely payments. The evolution of this technology has been driven by the need for increased efficiency and accuracy in accounts payable operations. According to industry research, organizations using automated invoice capture report a 75% reduction in processing time and a 90% decrease in errors.
