Integration Hub · AI Documents

Turn supplier invoices, contracts and PDFs into structured data your business can use.

AI invoice capture, document extraction, RAG knowledge search and estimating support — wired straight into the accounting platform, inventory system and approval workflow your business already runs on.

AP shouldn't be half a person's full-time job. Contracts shouldn't be searched folder-by-folder. Product master data shouldn't live in five inconsistent versions. Estimators shouldn't spend two days copying numbers from PDFs.

AI Document & Invoice Hub fixes the document-shaped gap between the world (PDFs, scans, emails, spreadsheets) and the systems that need structured data. Fixed-price, staged delivery, first results inside the first month.

Six common situations we work in. Pick the one that lands closest — we'll show you how we typically untangle it.

AI extracting invoice details and pushing them into accounting
Accounts payable is half a person's full-time job

Accounts payable is half a person's full-time job

Two hundred supplier invoices a week. Every one of them keyed in by hand — supplier, ABN, invoice number, line items, GST, totals. The same person types the same fields, every day, into Xero, MYOB or NetSuite.

That is half a salary, every year, spent on a task software has been able to do for five years.

We deploy AI invoice capture that reads the supplier PDF, extracts the fields, matches to the right supplier and purchase order, and stages a draft bill in your accounting platform. The AP clerk reviews, not types. Volume that took a full week is processed in an afternoon.

How it connects

PDFs and emails in. Structured data out.

Supplier invoices, scanned documents, product catalogues and contracts come into the Hub in their messy original form. AI extracts, validates and routes. Your accounting, inventory and knowledge systems receive structured data with confidence scores and a full audit trail.

AI cannot hallucinate beyond what is in the source documents — every extracted field is auditable back to its origin in the PDF.
What we build

The five things we run in this Hub

Each tab is a distinct engagement type. AP automation is the most common entry point; the others extend the platform as the document landscape grows.

AI invoice capture wired straight into your accounting platform

What gets captured. Supplier name, ABN, invoice number, invoice date, due date, line items, line-item GST, totals, tax invoice flag. Plus your specific custom fields — project codes, cost centres, purchase-order references.

How it gets there. Suppliers email invoices to a dedicated address (or upload via a portal). The AI extracts fields, matches against supplier and PO records, stages a draft bill in Xero, MYOB or NetSuite. AP reviews the exception queue (typically 5–10% of volume), not the routine.

What changes for the team. Processing time drops 70–90%. Late-payment fees disappear. Suppliers get paid on time. AP clerk moves from data entry to exception handling and supplier relationships — the work that actually requires a person.

One clean product master from five messy sources

The sources. Supplier catalogues (PDF, CSV, web). POS exports. Online-store product lists. Inventory system dumps. Spreadsheet imports. All in different formats, with different field names and inconsistent descriptions.

The work. AI parses each source, normalises the schema (brand · family · size · colour · variant · SKU), clusters near-matches that are actually the same product, and flags the edge cases for human review. We push the clean master back into your inventory and online platforms.

What the business gets. Accurate stock levels. Sales reports that aggregate by real product, not five duplicates. Margin analysis you can trust. New-supplier onboarding in hours instead of weeks.

Staff ask questions; the documents answer

The library. Contracts, policies, SOPs, maintenance manuals, training material, project files. Anything in PDF, Word, PowerPoint or scanned form. Stored in SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox or a custom DMS.

The capability. Staff ask plain-English questions ("what is our remediation obligation under the Acme contract?"). The AI answers from the documents and shows the source paragraph with a deep link to the original document. RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) — the AI cannot hallucinate beyond what is in the documents.

Where it helps most. Customer support reading from policy. Field teams reading from SOPs. New starters during onboarding. Compliance teams under audit. Sales teams pulling capability statements from past proposals.

Structured approvals that finish in hours, not days

The routing. Invoices route to the right approver based on supplier, project, amount, cost centre or your custom rules. PM approves jobs invoices on the mobile app from site. Manager approves consumables on email. Director approves above-threshold amounts.

The escalation. Invoices not actioned within the SLA escalate automatically — to the deputy, then to the manager. No more invoices forgotten in someone's inbox during annual leave.

The audit trail. Every approval, rejection, comment and route captured against the invoice. When the auditor asks "who approved this and when?", the answer is one click away — not a half-hour archaeology dig through email folders.

Estimating from supplier PDFs in minutes, not days

For who. Construction, engineering, fabrication, electrical contracting, mechanical services — any business where estimates are built from supplier price lists, drawing schedules and structured spec documents.

What gets extracted. Line items with quantities, units, prices and notes. Drawing-schedule items linked back to the drawing reference. Supplier-specific assemblies. Discount and bracket pricing applied per supplier.

What changes. The estimator stops being a data-entry clerk and starts being an estimator. Estimate turnaround drops from days to hours. Win rate lifts because faster quotes win more. See AI Estimating Software for the deeper capability page.

Case study

AI invoice processing for a high-volume distributor

A national distributor processing 8,000+ supplier invoices a month across three entities and four ERP destinations. We wired AI extraction (custom-tuned on their supplier mix) into MYOB Exo and NetSuite, with PO matching, structured approval routing and a real-time exception dashboard. AP processing time dropped from a full week per cycle to a working day; the AP team moved from data entry to supplier-relationship work.

What it looks like in practice

Three scenarios we run most often

Actual document journeys — concrete timing, real handoffs.

  1. Supplier invoice → posted bill

    From inbox to draft bill in under two minutes

    • 0sSupplier emails invoice PDF to ap@yourbusiness
    • 15sAI extracts supplier, ABN, line items, GST, totals
    • 20sMatched to existing supplier record and open PO
    • 30sConfidence scores all above threshold — draft bill posted to Xero
    • 35sProject manager notified via mobile app for approval
    • +2hPM approves on site between jobs
    • +2hBill moves from draft to awaiting-payment; supplier paid on terms
  2. Product catalogue cleanup

    From five messy sources to one clean master in a fortnight

    • Day 1Sources ingested: supplier PDFs, POS exports, online store catalogue, inventory dump
    • Day 2AI normalises schema across all sources
    • Day 3AI clusters near-matches; identifies probable duplicates
    • Day 5Edge cases (typically <5%) routed to product team for review
    • Day 8Review complete; canonical product master finalised
    • Day 10Clean master pushed to Cin7 / Shopify / POS
    • Day 14Sync flows turn on; ongoing imports stay clean automatically
  3. Engineering estimate from supplier PDFs

    An estimate that took two days now builds in two hours

    • 0:00Estimator drops 12 supplier PDFs into the extraction portal
    • 0:08AI extracts line items, quantities, units, pricing, notes
    • 0:15Items matched against the assembly library; missing items flagged
    • 0:30Estimator reviews and adjusts (the actual estimating work)
    • 1:00Margins and contingencies applied; alternative options drafted
    • 1:45Estimate exported to client-ready quote document
    • 2:00Quote out to client same day instead of next week
Where the return comes from

What changes in the first 90 days

Most AI Document Hub engagements pay back the engagement cost inside one to three months — usually through AP processing time alone. The other wins compound over the following quarters.

AP processing time drops 70–90%

AI extraction handles routine invoices end-to-end; the AP team reviews exceptions, not every line. A full week of work compresses into an afternoon.

Late-payment fees disappear

Bills get into the accounting platform same-day rather than after a weekly batch. Suppliers paid on schedule. Goodwill and early-payment discounts both improve.

Clean product master data

Five messy product sources clustered into one clean master. Stock levels, sales reports and margin analysis all become trustworthy. New supplier onboarding takes hours, not weeks.

Documents answer questions

RAG-based knowledge search means contracts, SOPs and manuals become a Q&A interface instead of a folder system. Customer support, compliance, onboarding and field teams stop searching.

Approvals in hours, not days

Structured workflows route invoices to the right approver and escalate when SLAs slip. No more invoices waiting in someone's inbox while they're on annual leave.

Estimates faster, more accurate

AI extraction from supplier price lists, drawing schedules and spec sheets means estimators focus on judgement, not data entry. Faster quotes win more work.

Packages

Three ways into the AI Document Hub

AP automation is the most common entry point — clear ROI, contained scope. Larger custom platforms add RAG, product master, estimating extraction and bespoke document types in stages.

Starter Hub — invoice capture wired to one accounting platform

For: SMBs processing 50–500 supplier invoices per month into Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks. Currently entered by hand or via brittle OCR.

What you get: AI invoice capture (Rossum or custom) connected to one accounting platform. Supplier and PO matching. Exception queue with confidence scores. Posting to draft bills. Audit trail.

Timeline: 3 to 5 weeks. Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call. First batch of automated invoices typically flows within the first fortnight.

AP Automation Hub — full extraction → approval → posting → audit

For: mid-size operations (500–5,000 invoices per month) needing structured approval workflows, multi-entity routing or PO matching at scale.

What you get: Invoice capture + approval workflow + PO matching + multi-entity routing + exception handling. Plus initial RAG layer over your supplier-contract library if relevant. Reporting on AP throughput and exception rates.

Timeline: 8 to 12 weeks delivered in stages. Highest-value piece (invoice capture) live inside the first month. Fixed-price.

Custom AI Document Platform — RAG, product master, estimating, bespoke documents

For: document-heavy operations needing more than AP — RAG knowledge search over thousands of contracts, product master from messy sources, estimating extraction from supplier PDFs, bespoke document types (insurance claims, medical forms, engineering drawings).

What you get: Bespoke document AI platform tuned to your specific document types. RAG layer with citation. Product master deduplication and sync. Estimating extraction pipelines. Custom approval workflows. Compliance audit trail.

Timeline: 3 to 6 months in clearly defined stages. Each stage delivers measurable value before the next begins. Fixed-price per stage, with an ongoing support agreement once live.

Bespoke AI document platform with RAG, product master and custom workflows

We were processing 200 supplier invoices a week by hand. AP was permanently behind, suppliers were chasing for payment, late-payment fees were a line item. HELLO PEOPLE deployed AI extraction tuned to our top 30 suppliers in the first six weeks, then rolled out to the long tail. The AP clerk moved off data entry within two months — she now manages supplier relationships and resolves the genuine exceptions. Late-payment fees disappeared in the first quarter.

FAQs

Common questions about AI Document & Invoice Hub

We already tried Rossum / Hubdoc / Dext. How is this different?

Off-the-shelf document AI tools do good extraction but the value comes from what happens to the data afterwards — matching to the right supplier and PO, routing to the right approver, posting cleanly into your accounting platform, handling exceptions intelligently. We wire the AI extraction into your specific workflow, not as a standalone tool. The team that previously used Hubdoc as a glorified export step gets a connected workflow that posts to the accounting platform automatically.

Will the AI make mistakes that cost us money?

Every extracted field gets a confidence score. Fields below your threshold go into an exception queue for human review before anything posts. Fields above the threshold post as drafts that AP confirms — they do not post to the live ledger directly until reviewed. Combined accuracy on properly-tuned setups is typically 95–99% on the routine 80% of supplier invoices, with the long tail flagged for human review.

Can we handle high-volume AP?

Yes. The architecture scales — we have clients processing tens of thousands of invoices per month. The constraint usually becomes approval throughput rather than extraction throughput, which is why we typically pair AI extraction with structured approval workflows in the same engagement.

Will sensitive documents leave our network?

Depends on what you require. We can deploy AI extraction in a cloud environment under our standard security posture (encryption, access controls, audit trail). For organisations with stricter requirements — government, health, legal — we deploy in your own AWS or Azure tenancy where data never leaves your control. The RAG knowledge-search layer is particularly often deployed this way.

How does the product parsing work?

We ingest your messy product sources (supplier catalogues in PDF/CSV, POS exports, online store catalogues, inventory dumps). AI normalises the schema, clusters near-matches that are actually the same product, identifies the canonical record, and flags edge cases for human review. A two-week engagement typically clusters tens of thousands of product records into a clean master that can then sync forward to your stock and online systems.

What about complex multi-page contracts and specifications?

Handled. We deploy document-aware AI that understands page structure, headers, tables and cross-references. For contracts specifically — late-delivery clauses, payment terms, indemnity, renewal triggers — we build a structured extraction tuned to the contract types you handle most. The RAG layer makes the rest of the contract searchable in plain English.

How are projects priced?

Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call followed by a deeper requirements session. Larger Custom AI Document Platform engagements are priced per stage so you can adjust scope between stages. No hourly billing that drifts. You know the cost before any work starts. Cloud and API costs (e.g., Rossum subscription, AWS usage) are typically billed at cost separately.

Can we extend this for other document types later?

Yes. Most engagements start with one document type (AP invoices is by far the most common entry point) and extend over time to other document types — receipts, expense claims, contracts, insurance documents, medical forms, engineering drawings. The underlying platform supports it; the extension is a scoped piece of work, not a rebuild.
