Gravity Software has launched a new AI technology to transform accounts payable processes. This transformative solution uses the Microsoft Cognitive Services AI engine to convert PDFs of vendor bills into Gravity Vouchers, significantly reducing the need for manual data entry or corrections.

Accounts payable departments spend over one-third of their time on manual vendor bill data entry within their accounting systems, with additional valuable time allocated to obtaining management approvals for timely bill payments. By integrating Microsoft’s Power Automate workflow engine for approvals with its AI-driven data entry capabilities, Gravity substantially boosts the operational efficiency of accounts payable departments.

One of the standout features of Gravity’s enhanced solution is the provision of a dedicated email address for vendors to conveniently submit invoices. This not only simplifies the invoice submission process but also ensures a smooth and efficient transition to the Gravity Voucher system. Users can review and make any necessary adjustments to the extracted data, ensuring precision and accuracy at every step.
