Supplier Invoice Intake
Supplier invoices emailed to your bills mailbox are read by AI, saved in the supplier's folder and added to a Bills list. Bills over your limit go to the owner to approve in Teams, smaller ones are approved automatically, and once a week the approved bills arrive as a file ready to import into your accounting software.
