If you've ever dealt with traditional OCRs for invoice processing, you know the pain. Weeks (sometimes months) of training. Thousands of invoices pushed through a model just to teach it what a "vendor name" or "PO number" looks like, and that's per format. Change suppliers, change formats, start over.
We took a completely different approach.
Introducing APO's Invoice Data Extraction Skill, powered by the LLM of your choice, not legacy OCR. Instead of training a model to recognize patterns across mountains of documents, you simply tell the LLM what to look. Want the invoice number, line item totals and payment terms? Describe it. The model goes and finds it regardless of how the invoice is formatted.
Why this matters:
- No training data required. Zero. You are not feeding thousands of invoices into a pipeline hoping it generalizes. You are having a conversation with intelligence.
- Format agnostic out of the box.
- Fast to deploy. What used to take months of model training now takes a configuration conversation. Define your fields, go live.
- Flexible and extensible. Need to capture a new field? Add it. No retraining cycle.
This is what modern document intelligence looks like, and it's available right now with Accounts Payable Operations.
