Why Invoice OCR Software Beats Manual Entry
Manual invoice processing soaks up 10–15 minutes per document and introduces ~3.6 errors per 100 keystrokes—costing finance teams $12–$17 in rework on every invoice. SourceModern AI invoice processing tools complete the task in under one minute at 95–99% field accuracy. Source If your AP department handles 2,000 invoices a month, upgrading to automated invoice data extraction frees ≈250 staff-hours and cuts duplicate-payment risk by 80%.
