AI-supported incoming invoice workflow from the Microsoft Cloud

free-com solu­tions, an expert in doc­u­ment-dri­ven busi­ness process­es, uses Insid­ers’ tech­no­log­i­cal­ly lead­ing prod­ucts as pow­er­ful com­po­nents for clas­si­fy­ing, read­ing and val­i­dat­ing. Embed­ded in Microsoft 365 and eas­i­ly avail­able as SaaS (Soft­ware as a Ser­vice) from the Azure Mar­ket­place, SMEs in par­tic­u­lar, but also major cus­tomers, ben­e­fit from the solu­tion.
free-com solu­tions GmbH has been devel­op­ing and sell­ing solu­tions for doc­u­ment-dri­ven busi­ness process­es for medi­um-sized and large com­pa­nies in the DACH region for more than 20 years. Head­quar­tered in Vien­na, the provider auto­mates every­day check­ing, approval and fil­ing steps for impor­tant busi­ness doc­u­ments such as incom­ing invoic­es, trav­el and expense reports and pur­chase orders. In addi­tion to being intu­itive and easy to use, it is par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant to free-com solu­tions that solu­tions fit in well with the work process and enable effi­cient work by automat­ing rou­tine tasks and imple­ment­ing com­pli­ance require­ments inde­pen­dent­ly. This is espe­cial­ly true when it comes to details or indi­vid­ual cas­es – this is how a good solu­tion becomes the best solu­tion on the mar­ket.Thank you for read­ing this post, don’t for­get to sub­scribe!

For the intel­li­gent, AI-sup­port­ed pro­cess­ing of doc­u­ments, free-com solu­tions has been using Insid­ers prod­ucts for many years – such as smart INVOICE for opti­mized incom­ing invoice pro­cess­ing. The solu­tion impress­es with an end-to-end dig­i­tal process from invoice receipt to archiv­ing, with par­tic­u­lar­ly high flex­i­bil­i­ty in the design of the approval process and the inte­gra­tion option for many com­mon finan­cial account­ing sys­tems such as BMD, DATEV, Microsoft Dynam­ics 365 and SAP in all cur­rent ver­sions.

Oth­er prod­ucts from the Insid­ers port­fo­lio are also used by free-com solu­tions for oth­er cus­tomer appli­ca­tions. smart ORDER, for exam­ple, is used in the O2C area for order accep­tance at com­pa­nies in the paper indus­try and logis­tics, while oth­ers use smart ORDER CONFIRMATION for order con­fir­ma­tions or smart DELIVERY NOTES for pro­cess­ing deliv­ery bills.

“free-com solu­tions rec­og­nized the trend towards cloud-based solu­tions for the automa­tion of busi­ness process­es ear­ly on,“

says Dr. Alexan­der Swien­ty, Head of Chan­nel Man­age­ment at Insiders.“Our joint cus­tomers there­fore ben­e­fit in par­tic­u­lar from the com­bi­na­tion of free-com solu­tions’ work­flow engine and the auto­mat­ic invoice recog­ni­tion in our smart CLOUD.”

free-com solu­tions rec­og­nized the poten­tial of the cloud mod­el for its cus­tomers ear­ly on. Small and medi­um-sized end cus­tomers in par­tic­u­lar do not have to wor­ry about the cost­ly and labor-inten­sive oper­a­tion of their own infra­struc­ture for the solu­tion. The appli­ca­tion is also very easy to put into oper­a­tion with low ini­tial invest­ment and can be scaled flex­i­bly. This is why free-com solu­tions offers its cus­tomers the choice of deploy­ment: as a SaaS solu­tion from the cloud or on premis­es. As a cloud ser­vice, the solu­tion runs in Microsoft Azure and is par­tic­u­lar­ly easy to obtain from the Microsoft Azure Mar­ket­place. With Insid­ers, free-com solu­tions has a part­ner at its side that imple­ments a clear cloud strat­e­gy itself and offers the com­po­nents both on premis­es and as a cloud ser­vice.

In par­tic­u­lar with regard to its own claim to excel­lence — espe­cial­ly in cus­tomer-ori­ent­ed detail – free-com solu­tions con­sis­tent­ly uses the best com­po­nents and, with more than 20 years of expe­ri­ence in the field, knows the mar­ket and the per­for­mance of the providers very well.

“There are many com­po­nents that can read infor­ma­tion from doc­u­ments, but Insid­ers is unmatched by the com­pe­ti­tion in terms of the qual­i­ty of the results and auto­mat­ed check­ing and val­i­da­tion, as well as the user-friend­li­ness of the ver­i­fi­ca­tion process, and is con­stant­ly inno­vat­ing. Our cus­tomers clear­ly ben­e­fit from this qual­i­ty,“

explains Chris­t­ian Cerny, Man­ag­ing Direc­tor at free-com solu­tions.
