Every day, our operation receives supplier invoices through multiple channels, including email, mail, and the Partnership platform. Before these invoices can be processed in Primavera, they must be validated to ensure that the invoiced costs match the agreed rates and that each service remains profitable.
Today, this validation process is highly manual, requiring teams to consult multiple systems, such as SEND, APS, and Excel files, to gather and compare information. This results in significant time spent searching for data, validating discrepancies, and confirming details across different sources.
To address this challenge, we developed a prototype platform that centralizes the invoice validation process into a single workflow. The solution allows users to upload supplier PDF invoices and automatically compare them against operational data, helping identify cost deviations, missing information, and potential profitability issues.
Although currently operating with mock data, the platform was built with a long-term vision of becoming a fully integrated solution capable of automating invoice verification, generating intelligent alerts, and providing greater visibility into supplier costs.
By leveraging AI through Grok, our project introduces a smarter approach to invoice management, reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and enabling teams to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than repetitive administrative tasks. Ultimately, the solution aims to deliver a faster, more reliable, and more efficient invoice validation process.
