Why enaio® classify-pro SaaS is worthwhile for you

Invoice portals will become increasingly important in the future: They enable the creation, submission and management of e-invoices via web forms. Platforms such as ZRE or Peppol are becoming increasingly important for digital invoice exchange, which makes the use of cloud systems necessary. With our modern classification solution, you are always equipped for this.

Receiving and sending e-invoices in Europe is governed by national legislation and requires continuous system updates. As on-premises solutions cannot efficiently map these changes, the cloud offers faster provision of technical updates for many customers at the same time. This ensures that your system is always up to date. And you save valuable resources.

A SaaS-based classification solution offers numerous optimization opportunities for customers in the long term. For example, through deep learning OCR: This extension allows you to efficiently capture and process invoices and documents. Or you can use the potential of AI-based auto account assignment for the automatic allocation of cost centers, cost units and accounts—a considerable relief for accounting. The possibilities are particularly diverse thanks to SaaS.

  • Processing of electronic invoices and other invoices in one solution

  • XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, FatturaPA and other formats available

  • Seamless connection to (inter)national e-invoicing and vendor portals

  • Conversion to any electronic invoice format

  • Reliable data validation and enrichment

  • Creation of view documents from XRechnung

  • Expansion ensured by AI technologies (see OCR, green voting, auto-assignment)

enaio® classify-pro (on-premises)

enaio® classify-pro (on-premises) includes the optimization and automation of invoice management for electronic and other invoices on an on-premises basis. The system differentiates between electronic and other invoices. The system also has learning mechanisms that allow the field detection rate to be optimized.

The intelligent analysis system (invoice reader) enaio® classify-pro-invoice processes incoming invoices with and without order reference and reads the essential header data (e.g., vendor, invoice date, invoice number, final invoice amounts, etc.) as well as item tables in the standard commercial invoice format from incoming invoices and makes them available for further data processing.

With comparison data from an ERP system and integrated plausibility checks, it ensures the readout quality and the invoice document is indexed with validated data.

It is possible to compare the item data with ERP order and goods receipt data. enaio® classify-pro-invoice has XML interfaces to enaio® capture-pro (scan component) and enaio®. This makes it very easy to transfer data to an invoice receipt workflow in enaio®. It can also be easily integrated with existing ERP, archive, DMS and workflow environments independently of enaio®. In addition to scanned image data, electronic documents (PDF) can also be processed, which enter the company via a central invoice inbox, for example. Other data sources can also be connected.
