The Challenge

Common invoice processing automation challenges facing trades & construction businesses.

Field crews and subbies submit paper invoices and handwritten dockets that pile up in the office for weeks

Material costs are posted to the wrong job codes, making project profitability reports unreliable

Supplier statements do not match internal records because invoices are lost between site and admin

Late payments damage supplier relationships and forfeit early payment discounts on materials

Implementation

How we implement invoice processing automation for your trades & construction business.

Supplier Invoice Capture from Site and Office

Invoices from materials suppliers, hire companies, and subcontractors are captured from email, photographed dockets, and supplier portals using AI-powered OCR.

✓ Tools: Xero, Google Drive, Make

Purchase Order and Delivery Docket Matching

Extracted invoice data is matched against purchase orders and delivery dockets to verify quantities, unit prices, and job allocations before approval.

✓ Tools: Make, Google Sheets, Xero

Job Cost Allocation and Approval Routing

Each invoice line is allocated to the correct job or project code, then routed to the site supervisor or project manager for approval based on amount thresholds.

✓ Tools: ServiceM8, Slack, Make

Payment Scheduling and Supplier Reconciliation

Approved invoices are batched for payment runs aligned with supplier payment terms, and reconciliation entries are created automatically in your accounting platform.

✓ Tools: Xero, MYOB, Make
