About

Pay every supplier once, on time, for what you ordered and received, and take the early-payment discounts that are worth it.

What it does

  • Reads supplier invoices from your inbox or files into a payables register, line items included
  • Catches duplicates, including the same invoice resent under another number
  • Checks suppliers' VAT and tax numbers against public registers such as VIES
  • Matches each invoice to its purchase order and what was received, and shows what you would overpay
  • Classifies each invoice payable or on hold, with the reason and the next action
  • Proposes the payment run, with the early-payment discounts worth taking and their annualised return

What you need

  • Nothing to start: try it on a sample batch, then share your invoices
  • Gmail, to collect invoices from your inbox (another email works too)
  • QuickBooks, to check what is already recorded and enter the bills you approve (other accounting software works from exports)

How setup works

A sample batch is processed in the first minutes. Along the way it learns where invoices arrive, your approval rules and payment day, connects your inbox and books, and confirms the weekly run.

What stays in your hands

  • It never pays, enters a bill in your books or contacts a supplier without your go-ahead

What you will need

  • Gmail

  • Intuit QuickBooks

Frequently asked questions

Can it extract data from PDF invoices?

Yes. It reads PDF and image invoices in full, line items included, recomputes the totals and saves every field to its payables register.

How does it detect duplicate invoices?

It compares each invoice with the register and the batch: same supplier and number, or same supplier, amount and close dates under another number. A possible duplicate is put on hold, never paid.

Does it check supplier VAT numbers?

Yes. It checks the format, then the public register that applies, such as VIES for EU VAT numbers, and records the result with the date. It also flags changed bank details.

Will it pay suppliers automatically?

No. It proposes the payment run and can prepare a payment file, but you approve and pay. It then records what was paid.

Do I need QuickBooks?

No. It keeps its own payables register and works with exports from any accounting software. With QuickBooks connected, it can enter the bills you approve.

How much does it cost to run?

The template is free. Each run uses Rerun credit, like any coworker.
