Where it goes wrong today.

Retyping every invoice

Someone keys supplier, lines and totals from a PDF into the accounts, one invoice at a time.

Paying for what never arrived

Invoices get paid without checking them against the PO and what the warehouse actually received.

Invoices lost in inboxes

Bills sit in someone's email or a WhatsApp chat until the supplier calls.

Coding depends on who does it

The same supplier ends up in three different accounts depending on who entered it.

What's included

Accounts Payable, the way your business runs it.

01

Capture from anywhere

Email, WhatsApp or upload — PDFs and photos read automatically.

02

3-way matching

Invoice checked against the PO and goods receipt, including partial deliveries.

03

Variance checks

Price and quantity differences outside your tolerance go to a person.

04

Approval routes

Routed by amount, supplier or department — approved from anywhere.

05

Coding from your history

GL and tax codes based on how you have coded that supplier before.

06

Duplicate detection

The same invoice sent twice is caught before it is paid twice.

Configured around how you work — and where your process is unusual, we build it.

Why us

We run accounts payable this way in our own business.

Merchaint runs our own $20M distribution business. We built this workflow because we needed it — and we’ve hit the problems that only show up once real orders, suppliers and customers are involved.

So we won’t ask you for a requirements list. We’ll map how you work, tell you what you need, and keep improving it after go-live as your team finds what it needs next.

FAQ

Common questions.

What documents can it read?

PDF invoices, scanned copies and photos, from email, WhatsApp or upload.

What about partial deliveries?

The invoice is matched to what was actually received. The rest of the PO stays open until it arrives.

Do we need separate accounting software?

Not necessarily. Approved invoices can post to accounting built into your system, or to the accounting software you already use.
