Extract invoice numbers, line items, amounts, tax details, and payment terms from vendor invoices—any vendor, any format—for accounts payable automation.
Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.
Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.
The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.
Get structured output in Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API for direct integration into your systems.
“We process 1,200 vendor invoices per month. Automating data capture freed our AP team to focus on exception management and vendor relationship work instead of keying data all day.”
“We were missing early payment discounts because invoices sat in the data entry queue for days. OCR processing on arrival means invoices hit the approval workflow the same day they arrive.”
“Three-way matching was impossible to do comprehensively with manual entry. Now that every invoice line item is extracted automatically, we match 100 percent of invoices against POs and receipts.”
Accounts payable departments process vendor invoices as their core daily workflow. Every invoice that arrives—whether by email, mail, or supplier portal—must be captured, coded, approved, and paid. For organizations receiving hundreds or thousands of vendor invoices per month, the data capture step alone consumes significant labor hours. Vendor invoice OCR automates this first and most time-consuming step by extracting structured data from invoice documents without manual keying.
The vendor invoice OCR challenge is driven by format diversity. Every vendor sends invoices in their own format, and businesses with large vendor bases encounter enormous layout variation. A company with 500 active vendors will see 500 different invoice layouts, each with different positions for invoice number, date, line items, tax amounts, and payment terms. Template-based approaches require building and maintaining a separate extraction template for each vendor, which is expensive and brittle. AI-powered vendor invoice OCR reads each invoice contextually, adapting to any vendor format on the first document.
Beyond data entry savings, vendor invoice OCR enables faster payment cycles and better cash management. When invoice data is captured immediately upon receipt, approval workflows start sooner, early payment discounts can be captured, and late payment penalties are avoided. Lido processes vendor invoices in seconds, extracting header fields, line items, tax calculations, and payment terms into structured output that feeds directly into AP automation platforms.
AP teams evaluating vendor invoice OCR should consider extraction accuracy on dollar amounts, support for international invoice formats and multi-currency documents, line-item detail extraction, and integration with AP automation and ERP systems. Lido handles invoices from vendors worldwide, provides confidence scores on every extracted field, and supports output in Excel, CSV, JSON, and direct API integration.
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.

Vendor invoice OCR is the automated extraction of data from vendor invoices—invoice numbers, dates, line items, amounts, tax details, and payment terms. AI-powered OCR handles any vendor format without per-vendor templates, eliminating manual data entry in accounts payable.
The AI reads each invoice contextually, identifying fields by meaning rather than fixed coordinates. Whether a vendor places the invoice number at the top right or bottom left, uses different field labels, or includes unique line-item structures, the system extracts the data correctly.
Yes. The system extracts individual line items including item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, line totals, and tax amounts. This granular extraction enables three-way matching against purchase orders and receiving documents.
By capturing invoice data immediately upon receipt rather than waiting for manual entry, vendor invoice OCR accelerates the start of approval workflows. This enables organizations to capture early payment discounts and avoid late payment penalties.
Extracted data exports to Excel, CSV, and JSON for import into any AP system. The REST API enables direct integration with SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and dedicated AP automation platforms like Tipalti, Bill.com, and Coupa.
