Stop wasting time on manual invoice entry. Swiftask connects PDF.co to your tools to extract, structure, and process your data instantly.

Result:

Eliminate entry errors and drastically speed up your accounting processes.

Manual invoice entry slows down your accounting

Supplier invoice processing is a tedious, repetitive, and error-prone task. Copying amounts, dates, and references from PDFs into your ERP or spreadsheet keeps your teams stuck on low-value work.

Main negative impacts:

  • Costly entry errors: Fatigue and volume lead to typos on amounts or invoice numbers, impacting your bank reconciliation.
  • Processing delays: Time spent on manual entry creates bottlenecks, delaying supplier payments and accounting close.
  • High operational costs: Assigning qualified personnel to copy-paste tasks represents a major hidden cost for your organization.

Swiftask automates data extraction from your PDF invoices via PDF.co. The AI agent identifies key fields (Total, Tax, Vendor, Date) and sends them directly to your business apps.
