how Dost solves it
AP automation
for manufacturing
From document chaos to clean, automated AP reconciliation
END-TO-END FINANCE AUTOMATION IN MANUFACTURING
Manufacturing finance teams face a constant flow of invoices, delivery notes, and order processing across multiple suppliers and logistics hubs. Complex technical data, varied units, and inconsistent references make manual handling a source of delays, errors, and margin loss — putting supply chain finance at risk.
Where manual processes, fragmented data and margin pressure quietly drain your team's time and accuracy.
Discrepancies in quantities, SKUs or pricing are common. Manually validating each document is slow and error-prone, delaying payments and straining supplier relationships. Automating the 3-way match — order, delivery note, invoice — is the standard for manufacturing finance teams that want to stay in control.
Manufacturers often operate across several plants or warehouses. Without centralised access, financial data becomes fragmented — making traceability, month-end closing and inventory invoice software reconciliation unnecessarily complex.
Every supplier uses its own format — PDFs, scans or paper — and its own product codes. This lack of standardisation makes it hard to automate document matching or integrate data into ERP systems. A capable purchase order processing software must handle this variety without manual workarounds.
Errors in cost allocation by plant, product line or cost centre have a direct impact on profitability. Manufacturing finance teams need detailed control and full traceability over every expense.
From document chaos to clean, automated AP reconciliation
Dost automatically identifies, cross-references and validates the data in delivery notes, purchase orders and invoices — with duplicate detection and real-time discrepancy alerts.
Powered by LLM AI, Dost processes documents in any format, language or structure, extracting the key data without errors — regardless of how each supplier sends them.
Dost maps supplier-specific product codes to your internal references, enabling accurate 3-way match across purchase orders, delivery notes and invoices — fully integrated with your ERP.
A single platform to check the status of all invoices and associated documents, with full traceability from receipt to accounting entry. Audit-ready at any time.
