ELO Invoice: Intelligent Processing Automation for Invoices

Looking for a way to accelerate incoming invoice approvals? ELO Invoice digitizes the entire process from invoice receipt and workflow to accounting and secure archiving.

What is ELO Invoice?

Today, incoming invoices arrive in various formats—via email as PDF, as electronic invoices, or still in paper form. Their manual processing, data transcription, approval, and subsequent transfer to the accounting system represent a time-consuming process that can lead to unnecessary errors, delays, and higher operating costs.

ELO Invoice is a ready-to-use solution for automated incoming invoice processing (Invoice Management) built on the ELO ECM Suite platform. It covers the entire invoice lifecycle, from receipt and intelligent data extraction through automated approval workflows to accounting in the ERP system and secure digital archiving.

Thanks to pre-configured processes, an open architecture, and wide integration capabilities, ELO Invoice can be easily connected with enterprise applications such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Microsoft 365, or other ERP systems. Organizations thus gain a modern solution that accelerates invoice processing, increases visibility over the entire process, and establishes a reliable foundation for the further digitization of financial processes.

Key Features of ELO Invoice

ELO Invoice covers the entire incoming invoice processing workflow, from receipt through intelligent data extraction, approval, and posting to secure archiving. Thanks to pre-configured workflows, an open architecture, and integration with enterprise systems, it helps organizations accelerate invoice processing, reduce manual work, and gain visibility over the entire process.

Automated Processing of Incoming Invoices

ELO Invoice digitizes the entire incoming invoice processing workflow, regardless of whether documents arrive via email, as a PDF, an electronic invoice, or in paper format. The solution consolidates document receipt into a single pipeline and prepares them for subsequent automated processing.

Intelligent Invoice Data Extraction

The solution automatically recognizes key invoice details such as the supplier, invoice number, due date, amounts, or variable symbol. The extracted data is subsequently utilized for approval, verification, and transfer to the ERP system.

Invoice Cockpit

The Invoice Cockpit provides a comprehensive overview of the entire invoice processing workflow. Users have instant access to the status of individual invoices, approval steps, deadlines, and processing history, facilitating oversight and the daily operations of the accounting department.

Invoice Approval Workflow

Pre-configured workflows automatically route invoices to the correct approvers based on defined rules. The system supports multi-level approvals, notifications, delegation, escalations, and real-time tracking of each invoice's status.

Integration with ERP Systems

ELO Invoice integrates seamlessly with ERP systems such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, and other information systems. Data and documents are synchronized between systems, thereby eliminating manual data re-entry.

Analytics and Reporting

Built-in reports and dashboards provide insights into processed invoice volumes, approval times, approver workloads, and other key metrics. Organizations thus gain data inputs for process optimization and better management of financial operations.

Mobile Approval

Invoice approval is not restricted to the office. Managers can review and approve invoices via mobile devices or a web interface, which accelerates the entire approval process even when working remotely.

Digital Invoice Archiving

Once the process is complete, the invoices are securely stored in a digital repository, complete with a full audit trail. The documents can be quickly retrieved at any time, allowing you to track their history and ensure compliance with long-term archiving and regulatory requirements.

Intelligent AI-Powered Invoice Data Extraction

Automatic data extraction represents one of the core components of the entire invoice processing workflow. ELO Invoice utilizes ELO DocXtractor technology, which enables automated recognition of invoice content, data extraction, and preparation for subsequent processing within the approval workflow.

In cases where organizations need to extract a broader spectrum of documents or leverage advanced AI scenarios across multiple systems, the solution can also be expanded with DocumentExtract by Aricoma. This brings a modern AI approach to document extraction, support for various document types, and integration capabilities with ELO as well as other ECM or ERP platforms.

Electronic Invoice Support

Electronic invoices are no longer an alternative, but are becoming the new standard in corporate communication and accounting. With the development of European legislation, standards such as PEPPOL, and the growing digitalization of business processes, an increasing number of organizations are transitioning from PDFs and paper documents to structured electronic invoices. ELO Invoice is prepared for this evolution, supporting the processing of common Czech and international electronic invoice formats and enabling their automated receipt, data extraction, approval, and secure archiving within a single integrated process.

PEPPOL

PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is a European network for the secure exchange of electronic business documents. It enables standardized delivery of electronic invoices between organizations and public administration, and is gradually becoming the foundation of electronic invoicing throughout Europe.

ISDOC

ISDOC is a Czech electronic invoice standard based on the XML format. It is used across various accounting and ERP systems, enabling the automated transfer of invoices without the need for manual data entry. ELO Invoice supports its processing as part of an automated workflow.

ZUGFeRD, Factur-X, and Other European Standards

ELO Invoice also supports other commonly used electronic invoice formats, such as the German ZUGFeRD standard or the Franco-German Factur-X, which combine a human-readable PDF document with structured XML data. This enables the solution to be easily deployed in international business environments.

Who is ELO Invoice suitable for?

ELO Invoice is primarily designed for medium and large enterprises seeking to accelerate incoming invoice processing, minimize manual administration, and gain tighter control over the approval workflow. Thanks to its out-of-the-box readiness, electronic invoice support, and seamless integration with enterprise systems, it suits organizations looking for a modern, scalable platform for automated accounting processes.

It represents a balanced choice for companies pursuing an optimal trade-off between functionality, implementation speed, and total cost of ownership. It is particularly valuable for businesses that do not require an overly complex enterprise solution for highly convoluted workflows, yet need capabilities that go beyond Microsoft 365-based setups.
