At the recent ERPALOOZA user conference in Texas, Cetec ERP unveiled two major AI-powered automation tools – Document Scan & Attach and AP Automation – designed to eliminate manual paperwork and accelerate back-office operations for manufacturers. Together, these features advance Cetec ERP’s mission to give manufacturers full control over their systems by reducing friction, improving accuracy and centralising operations within a single integrated platform.

The new Document Scan & Attach feature automatically files paperwork like receipts, work order packets and vendor documents directly into Cetec ERP. Using OCR and AI, the system reads scanned PDFs, intelligently matches them to the correct records and attaches them automatically. Any documents that cannot be matched are routed to a review queue for quick follow-up.

The new AP Automation tool streamlines invoice processing by turning emailed or scanned vendor invoices into vouchers automatically. Invoices are read with OCR and AI, then matched against purchase orders and receipts for a complete three-way match. When matches are verified, vouchers are automatically approved. Any discrepancies are flagged for review.

Starting at $250 per month, the AP Automation feature increases the capacity of accounting departments at small manufacturing companies by reducing administrative overhead and data entry. It also provides improved visibility into accounts payable operations without removing control of cash flow.

“These features take tedious, error-prone work off people’s plates and increase their capacity for more value-added work,” says Scott Ryan, senior consultant at Cetec ERP. “We want to make daily processes simpler, faster and more reliable for our customers.”

Built as a modern, cloud-native solution, Cetec ERP is a complete ERP platform – fully integrated, from quote to cash – for the complex realities of today’s manufacturing.
