AI 3-Way Invoice Matching: Catch Supplier Overbilling, Short Shipments & IBAN Fraud in 10 Seconds
Stop losing 3%–5% margin to silent supplier billing creep and short shipments. Match every Invoice against your PO and signed Delivery Note in 10 seconds.
Automated AI 3-way invoice matching verifies three documents line-by-line before payment: the approved Purchase Order (agreed unit price), the signed Warehouse Delivery Note (actual quantity received), and the Supplier Invoice (billed total and bank IBAN). Any rate creep, quantity shortage, or unverified bank change triggers an immediate Hold-Bill alert.
