Interactive demo

Every invoice checked against what you ordered — and what actually arrived.

Invoices arrive as PDFs and email attachments. They get read, matched against the purchase order and the receiving record, coded to an account, and queued for payment. Anything that doesn't line up stops before the check goes out.

This demo processes fictional sample invoices with scripted results, right in your browser. In a real deployment it's your vendors, your PO data, your accounting system.

Under the hood

Four checks before anything is queued to pay.

01 — Extraction

Reads the invoice, not a template

Invoice numbers, vendors, dates, terms, line items — pulled from whatever layout each vendor sends. No templates to build, and no re-work when a vendor changes their format.

02 — Three-way match

Invoice vs PO vs receiving

What you were billed, what you agreed to pay, and what actually came off the truck — reconciled line by line. Price creep and short shipments surface with the exact dollar amount attached.

03 — Duplicate check

Catches the same invoice twice

Matched on vendor, invoice number, amount and date — not filename. A re-sent invoice or a second scan of the same document gets blocked instead of paid again.

04 — Coding & approval

Suggests the account, then waits for a person

Each invoice is coded against your chart of accounts based on the vendor and what was bought, with a confidence score attached. High-confidence, fully-matched invoices are one click from posted. Everything else routes to whoever should look at it. Nothing posts on its own.

What the industry research says

Ardent Partners' State of ePayables 2024 found that organizations it classifies as best-in-class process an invoice for about $2.78, against roughly $12.88 for everyone else — and in about 3 days rather than 17, with exception rates less than half as high.

These are published industry benchmarks from Ardent Partners' research, not Alpine's own measured results, and they describe organizations of all sizes. What automation is worth in your operation depends on your invoice volume, your vendor mix, and how much of your process is manual today — which is exactly what the free audit is for.
