Why invoice line recognition revolutionizes your administration

Invoice line recognition transforms complex consolidated invoices into structured booking proposals. Dutch administrations process invoices with dozens of lines daily – from lease cars with fuel costs to subscriptions with variable components. Our AI-driven line recognition automatically analyzes each invoice line and links it to the correct cost center.

EasyData’s invoice line recognition technology combines 25+ years of Dutch expertise with modern machine learning. Our system not only recognizes standard invoice layouts but also learns from organization-specific patterns. The result: 98% accuracy in assigning invoice lines to ledger accounts, even with complex line discounts and varying formats.

From a single invoice line with 10% discount to complete consolidated invoices with different VAT rates – invoice line recognition makes it all automatically processable. Saves your organization 75% processing time and eliminates human input errors that often lead to costly corrections.
