Why traditional accounting is no longer sufficient

For a long time, accounting was based on manual processes, spreadsheets, and rigid software solutions. However, with increasing demands for compliance, speed, and accuracy, traditional systems are reaching their limits.

Typical challenges in invoice processing:

  • Manual data entry: Finance teams need to review invoices, make entries, and transfer data.

  • Lack of automation: OCR solutions extract data but do not understand accounting logic.

  • High time consumption: Long approval processes and lack of interfaces slow down accounting.

  • Prone to errors: Typographical errors, incorrect entries, and missing invoice allocations cost companies time and money.
