Invoicing and accounting automation for businesses of any size

Data is captured from incoming invoices and they go out for approval, payments are matched to invoices and reminders are sent by rules. We build it on the accounting software, invoicing app and bank you already have.

Does this sound like your accounting department?

Accounting automation usually does not mean new accounting software. It means less retyping and less searching.

  • “Our accountant spends more time retyping than accounting.”

  • “At the end of the month we chase colleagues for documents.”

  • “Who ordered this invoice? And am I even allowed to pay it?”

  • “Payments from Slovakia and Germany do not get matched. The variable symbol is missing.”

  • “We send reminders when someone remembers. We never invoice late-payment interest.”

  • “We still retype invoices from the CRM, e-shop or POS into POHODA by hand.”

Flow

How an invoice flows through your company – and where we watch it

At each station we automate the routine. Approvals and exceptions stay with people.

  1. 01

    Document

    Invoices from e-mail, a shared folder and scans in one place. An e-invoice in ISDOC format is read by machine, PDFs and photos are captured by AI.

    Person: Checks only the fields the system is not sure about.

  2. 02

    Approval

    The invoice goes to the approver based on cost center, job or amount, by e-mail or to their phone.

    Person: Approves or sends it back. An unapproved invoice goes no further.

  3. 03

    Accounting

    The approved document is imported into the accounting software together with the PDF. Duplicates are caught by document number and company ID (IČO).

    Person: The accountant posts entries and handles exceptions instead of retyping.

  4. 04

    Bank

    Bank transactions download automatically and are matched to invoices, even when the variable symbol is missing or the payment came in installments.

    Person: Goes through the list of unmatched items in the morning.

  5. 05

    Customer

    The invoice is created from the CRM, e-shop or POS, with a QR payment code. Reminders go out by rules and stop once the invoice is paid.

    Person: Approves the reminder with the calculated interest and decides what to do next with the debtor.

6 modules of accounting and invoicing automation

You do not have to take everything. We start with what slows you down the most.

01

Incoming invoice data capture

Invoices from e-mail, Drive or scans. A structured e-invoice (ISDOC) is read without AI, PDFs and photos are captured by AI. We check the company ID in ARES, totals and VAT rates, and catch duplicates. The result goes into your accounting software.

More
02

Invoice approval

Who approves what: by cost center, job or amount. Alerts by e-mail or to a phone, and a record of who approved and when. Only an approved invoice goes into accounting and into payment orders.

03

Payment matching

Transactions from Fio, KB, ČSOB or from the bank’s e-mail notifications. Rules beyond the variable symbol and amount: the variable symbol in the payment note, partial payments, foreign currency. A list of unmatched payments every morning.

04

Automated invoicing

An invoice from a deal in Raynet, from the e-shop, from the POS or from a timesheet. Recurring and advance invoices, QR payment, sending to the customer and payment status back to the source system.

05

Reminders and receivables

A reminder before the due date, reminders after it, calculation of late-payment interest and the CZK 1,200 recovery cost compensation per receivable between businesses. Reminders stop as soon as the payment is matched. An overview of who owes how much.

06

E-invoices: ISDOC and Peppol

Issued invoices in ISDOC format or for the Peppol network, through an access point provider. Incoming e-invoices go straight into processing, with no data capture needed.

Commonly used software

What do you run on?

Accounting software and invoicing apps can do more than most companies use. Here is what is possible.

  • POHODA

    Import of invoices, bank transactions and internal documents via XML, with a duplicate check. It reads ISDOC and the QR code on an invoice by itself, and its home banking can settle payments automatically by rules.

  • Money S3

    API for reading and writing documents. Money S3 Inbox accepts ISDOC, ZUGFeRD, QR codes as well as PDFs and images.

  • ABRA Flexi

    REST API for invoices and the bank, automatic payment matching via the API, webhooks on changes, ISDOC import and export.

  • Fakturoid

    API v3 and webhooks. Payment matching, automatic reminders and expense data capture are built into the Na každý den and Na maximum plans.

  • iDoklad

    REST API with OAuth 2. Bank payment matching and automatic reminders in the Oblíbený and Prémiový plans.

  • Banks

    Fio: token-based API for transactions and statements. KB: KB API Business for transaction history. ČSOB: Business Connector for statements and payment orders from the accounting software.

  • Raynet and Dotykačka

    Raynet: REST API and webhooks, an invoice is created from a won deal. Dotykačka: API and sales report, exports for Money S3 and POHODA.

Do you invoice from Excel or Word? That is a starting point too. In the audit we will tell you whether an invoicing app is enough first.

When you do not need us

We do not sell accounting software and we are not an accounting firm. When a ready-made feature is enough, we say so.

You have dozens of invoices a month and one invoicing app is enough
Fakturoid and iDoklad both have payment matching, automatic reminders and document data capture in their higher plans. Turn them on, you do not need anything custom.
You already have the feature in your license
POHODA reads ISDOC and QR codes, and its home banking can settle payments automatically by rules. Money S3 Inbox accepts e-invoices and PDFs. First we turn on what you already pay for.
You are looking for someone to keep your books
We do not do bookkeeping and we do not give tax or legal advice. We remove the retyping and searching. Your accountant posts the entries and makes the decisions.

We sort documents in our own company too

Our own operations · PackLabs

Document sorting

Documents that arrive in our accounting folder sort themselves. The system reads each document, renames it by date and supplier and files it under the right month. What it is not sure about, it leaves in place and lets us know, instead of filing it wrong.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to do anything about e-invoices right now?
In the Czech Republic there is no general B2B obligation yet; public contracting authorities must accept e-invoices under the EN 16931 standard. In Slovakia, from January 1, 2027, Slovak VAT payers invoice domestic supplies through the Peppol network. A Czech company invoicing Slovakia from the Czech Republic does not have this obligation. You will find details on the e-invoicing page.
Will AI post an invoice on its own, without us?
No. An e-invoice in ISDOC format is read by machine, without AI. PDFs and photos are captured by AI, but anything it is not sure about goes into a review queue. A document goes into accounting only after approval. We measure accuracy in the pilot on your documents; we do not promise percentages up front.
Is it worth it for a small company?
With dozens of documents a month, an invoicing app with built-in payment matching, reminders and data capture is usually enough, for example Fakturoid or iDoklad. We will tell you that straight away. A custom integration makes sense when the number of documents grows, data flows between several systems or you need your own approval rules.
How does invoice approval work?
We set up who approves what: by cost center, job or amount. The approver gets an alert by e-mail or on their phone. Each invoice keeps a record of who approved it and when, and only approved invoices go into payment orders.
Do we have to change our accounting software?
No. We build on what you have: POHODA, Money S3, ABRA Flexi, Fakturoid, iDoklad and your bank. Some connections do need a paid module from the vendor, such as API Access in ABRA Flexi or the API module in Money S3.
How much can we charge for a late payment?
The statutory late-payment interest is the Czech National Bank (ČNB) repo rate valid on the first day of the half-year in which the delay occurred, plus 8 percentage points. Between businesses you can also claim compensation for the costs of recovering the receivable, at least CZK 1,200 per receivable. We can calculate both directly in the reminder. We do not give legal interpretation for a specific dispute.
What if the automation breaks?
We make sure a document is not processed twice. When something fails, the document waits to be resolved and an alert goes out. As part of ongoing maintenance we also watch for changes in vendor APIs.
What about security and GDPR?
Documents contain personal data, so we sign a data processing agreement with you under Article 28 GDPR. In the bank we want read-only access to transactions where possible, and in the accounting software a separate user with minimal rights. Payment orders are always approved by a person.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
It depends on the systems and scope. We do not publish a price list, because no two companies are the same. You get the price and timeline after the audit, up front and in writing.
