A logistics company in Tennessee was burning 15 hours weekly categorizing 400+ vendor invoices. Their accounting team manually read each line item to assign the right GL codes. Half the invoices had multiple line items spanning different categories.
We built a custom AI system that reads invoice PDFs, extracts line items, and assigns GL codes based on their existing categorization rules. The system achieves 94% accuracy and flags uncertain cases for human review.
Result: Invoice categorization dropped from 15 hours to 2 hours weekly. At $22/hour for accounting labor, that's $28,600 in annual savings. They reinvested those 13 hours into supplier payment negotiations, which recovered another $45,000 in early payment discounts.
