Step map
Instead of relying on a single generic AI model, this pipeline connects specialized tools to maximize quality. First, you'll use Microsoft Power Automate to incoming documents are automatically captured, classified, and routed for invoice processing and data extraction. Then, you pass the output to AvidXchange to invoices are automatically processed, with key fields extracted and verified for further use. Then, you pass the output to Dext to document data is extracted and structured, ready for integration into the document workflow engine. Finally, Docyard is used to documents are automatically routed, processed, and archived according to predefined business rules.
