Document Automation Success: How AI Reduced Invoice Processing Time by 94%

Document Automation Success: How AI Reduced Invoice Processing Time by 94%

The Challenge

FinServCo, a medium-sized financial services firm, was drowning in paperwork. Their accounts payable department processed over 2,000 invoices monthly, with each invoice requiring:

• Manual data entry into their accounting system
• Cross-verification with purchase orders
• Approval routing to appropriate managers
• Classification for tax and reporting purposes

This process consumed approximately 4 hours daily of dedicated staff time, created frequent bottlenecks, and was prone to human error. During month-end closing periods, the team often worked overtime to handle the increased volume.

Our Solution

Prisma Labs implemented a comprehensive AI document automation solution that:

1. Automated Data Extraction: Using advanced OCR and machine learning to extract key information from invoices regardless of format or structure
2. Intelligent Validation: Automatically cross-referencing extracted data with purchase orders and flagging discrepancies
3. Automated Classification: Categorizing invoices by department, vendor, and expense type without human intervention
4. Dynamic Routing: Creating intelligent approval workflows based on invoice amount, department, and company policies

The system integrated seamlessly with their existing accounting software and provided a simple dashboard for monitoring the process and handling exceptions.

The Results

After implementing our document automation solution, FinServCo experienced:

• 94% reduction in processing time: The 4-hour daily task now takes just 15 minutes of staff time to handle exceptions
• 99.3% accuracy rate: Higher than the previous 92% achieved with manual processing
• Zero backlog during month-end: The system scales effortlessly to handle volume spikes
• Improved vendor relationships: Faster payments and fewer disputes
• Better staff utilization: AP staff now focus on value-added analysis and supplier negotiations
• Enhanced visibility: Real-time reporting on invoice status and financial obligations
