Automated Invoice Processing with Power Automate

Stop re-keying invoices by hand. Extract, match, and route invoice data automatically using Power Automate and Azure Document Intelligence.

The Problem

Most businesses still process invoices the same way: someone opens each email attachment, reads the totals, and keys them into a spreadsheet or accounting system by hand. At 200+ invoices a week, that's easily 15 hours of admin — and manual entry means typos, missed invoices, and no real visibility over what's outstanding until someone goes looking for it.

The Solution

We build a Power Automate flow that picks up invoices from email, extracts every line item and total using Azure Document Intelligence, and checks the numbers against what you're expecting. Anything that matches gets logged automatically; anything that doesn't gets flagged for a human to look at. A live Power BI dashboard gives finance real-time visibility without anyone compiling a report by hand.

How It Works

Extract

Azure Document Intelligence reads invoices from any PDF format or layout — no need to standardise supplier templates first.

Route & Match

Power Automate matches line items and totals against your records, flags mismatches, and routes anything unusual for review.

Update & Report

Approved invoices update your Excel tracker or ERP automatically, and a live Power BI dashboard keeps finance across outstanding amounts.
