Invoice processing and AP automation
Accounts payable teams spend most of their month on the same repetitive work: pulling data from invoices, matching to purchase orders, routing for approval, and chasing exceptions.
AI reads each invoice, matches it against the corresponding PO and goods receipt, applies your approval rules, and routes only genuine exceptions for human attention.
- 01
Invoices arrive by email, portal or scan. The system extracts line items, VAT, supplier details and PO references.
- 02
Each invoice is matched against the PO and goods receipt note in your ERP.
- 03
Approval routing is applied automatically based on supplier, amount and cost centre.
- 04
Straight-through invoices post directly; exceptions are routed to a human with the mismatch highlighted.
- 05
A full audit log captures every decision, every override, and every approver.

“At 1,000 documents a month and a loaded monthly cost of ₹1,50,000 per person, invoice processing and ap automation would typically save ₹11 L to ₹14 L a year.”
Range uses this use case’s typical automation rate (70 to 90 percent) against the baseline time per task for documents work, with your cost per person converted at 160 working hours a month.

All use casesInternal knowledge-base AI search
Organisational knowledge lives in five to ten different systems. Staff spend 30 to 60 minutes a day searching for information that already exists somewhere in the stack.
Supply-chain document reconciliation
Purchase orders, goods receipts and invoices routinely disagree. Payment delays, supplier disputes and reconciliation work consume operations time every month.
AI opportunity prioritisation
Organisations run too many AI pilots in parallel. Few reach production. There is no shared logic for deciding which bets to fund, which to park, and which to kill.
