AI extraction & matching for invoices, POs & delivery notes

Typelens is an AI-powered document automation platform designed to extract, interpret, and process structured and unstructured data from business documents including purchase orders, invoices, delivery notes (DDTs), and demand forecasts. It integrates directly with enterprise resource planning (ERP) and accounting systems to automate data entry and validation workflows. Typelens targets mid-sized manufacturing companies, distributors, and logistics providers seeking to reduce manual document handling while maintaining high accuracy and contextual understanding of their operational data.
Unlike traditional OCR-based tools, Typelens uses contextual AI models trained on domain-specific business language and processes. It does not require rigid templates or pre-defined layouts, enabling robust performance across diverse supplier formats, handwritten annotations, scanned PDFs, email bodies, and Excel files. The system operates on a human-in-the-loop model: AI handles routine extraction and matching tasks, while users review only exceptions—significantly reducing cognitive load and error rates.
Typelens ingests documents from multiple sources—including email attachments (PDF, images, Excel), PEC, and uploaded files—and applies multi-stage AI processing. First, it performs layout-aware text recognition and segmentation. Then, using fine-tuned natural language understanding models, it identifies semantic entities (e.g., vendor name, line items, quantities, dates, tax amounts) and resolves them against the customer’s internal catalog and business logic. Matching is performed contextually: for example, reconciling delivery notes with open purchase orders by cross-referencing item codes, variants, and partial shipment rules.
User interaction occurs exclusively through a validation dashboard where operators review ambiguous extractions, correct misclassifications, and approve submissions. Each correction is fed back into the model, enabling continuous adaptation to the organization’s specific terminology and document patterns. The validated data is then pushed automatically to the connected ERP or accounting system—requiring no manual re-entry. Integration is configurable per use case (e.g., order-to-cash, procure-to-pay) and supports both real-time and batch synchronization.
Typelens delivers measurable operational improvements across key finance and supply chain functions:
| Use Case | Input Document | Automation Outcome | Time to Production |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer Orders | Email + PDF/Excel attachments | Extracts order details, matches products to internal catalog, creates sales orders in ERP | 3 weeks |
| Delivery Notes (DDTs) | Scanned PDFs or images | Identifies goods, handles partial deliveries and unit conversions, links to purchase orders | 3 weeks |
| Forecast Updates | Periodic Excel forecasts | Compares new vs. existing forecasts, calculates deltas, updates MRP inputs | Available soon |
| Invoices & Credit Notes | PDF invoices | Extracts supplier, line items, VAT, due dates; reconciles against open purchase orders; proposes journal entries | 3 weeks |
Beyond these standardized scenarios, Typelens supports custom workflow configuration for unique document types or business rules—enabling organizations to extend automation beyond off-the-shelf use cases without requiring developer resources.
