Put An End To Manual Checks

The project team at Bühler AG took a close look at three OCR solutions and saw them in action at the offices of each vendor's reference customers. After analyzing all relevant points, the team decided unanimously on AnyDoc®INVOICE. The decision was based on a wide range of criteria, all of which AnyDoc®INVOICE fulfilled, without exception. One of these was AnyDoc®INVOICE's system architecture, which offered top-flight data and document security as well as a high level of flexibility for the integration with SAP and SAP Business Workflow. Another reason for the decision was the product's versatility in being able to automatically capture header data and line items in different languages with its free-form capture capability, and check them against purchase order data.

"With template-based solutions you have to spend a lot of time defining document formats, whereas AnyDoc's freeform capability more or less adapts itself," says Armando Müller.

This is a decisive advantage for the group, which makes production machinery for the food, paint, laminates, and high-pressure die-casting industries and supplies them all over the world. Although head office receives a lot of standardized invoices from the largest suppliers, Müller says there are a huge number that are all different from one other. Some arrive by fax, but most come in the mail. "We want to introduce electronic invoices too," he confides.
