😤

The Problem

Manual invoice processing costs $12-15 per invoice when you factor in data entry time, error correction, and approval chasing. At 200 invoices per month, that's $2,400-3,000 wasted on a process that's 80% repetitive. Errors lead to duplicate payments, missed discounts, and vendor frustration.

✨

The Solution

This agent crew extracts data from any invoice format (PDF, image, email), validates against POs and contracts, assigns GL codes, routes for approval, and schedules payments. Processing drops from 15 minutes to 30 seconds per invoice.
