The Problem

Invoice verification is simple.
Marketing invoice verification isn't

Campaigns change. Agencies move fast. And Finance is left holding the risk.

THE CHAOS

Bills arrive without context. Teams chase data across systems.

✗Agencies send invoices through email
✗Finance manually checks documents and campaign details
✗Deviations found too late during reconciliation
✗Communication scattered across teams
THE RESULT

Delayed approvals. Weak audit trails. Rising distrust between teams.

✗Difficult to reconcile large invoice volumes
✗No 3-way matching between PO, WC and invoice
✗Overpayments go undetected until audit
✗Finance month-end becomes a fire drill
What This Costs You

The hidden cost of manual reconciliation

These inefficiencies compound with scale — what starts as friction becomes a serious financial risk.

2–4 hours per week

Lost to manual checks per team member — every week, every campaign, every month.

5–10% matching errors

Typical error rate in manual reconciliation — undetected until it's too late to act.

Days to detect deviations

Average time to surface a billing deviation. By then, the payment cycle has already moved.

Audit risk on every invoice

No structured trail means every finance or statutory audit requires manual reconstruction.

Agency Upload Portal

Agencies upload directly.
Structured. Tagged. Governed

Vendors follow a pre-defined billing template and workflow — tagged to PO and campaign automatically. Every invoice is immediately checked against the approved PO value and budget before it enters the approval queue.

Auto-Validation

Every parameter checked
against PO and budget

IRN, GST number, PO number, invoice date, vendor code, and total amount — all validated automatically against your system data. Invoice amount is also checked against the approved PO value and campaign budget. Deviations flagged before Finance ever sees it.

Zero manual verification per invoice
Unified Dashboard

All invoice statuses in one view

Total invoiced, due today, upcoming in 30 days, and overdue — all visible from one dashboard. Finance knows exactly where to look first, without chasing anyone. Exceptions are tracked per invoice — vendors are notified automatically when an exception is raised, and their response thread is visible directly within the invoice.

6-Step Workflow

From agency upload
to ERP posting

Every invoice follows a pre-defined flow — from vendor upload through auto-validation, exception resolution, business approval, and final ERP posting. Vendors are notified of exceptions and can respond with proof or justification — directly on the platform. Credit notes and advance payments are logged against the invoice at any stage.

Every invoice. Every step. Tracked.
ERP-Ready Approval

GL code selected
Tax confirmed
Auto-posted to SAP

Approvers select GL codes and ERP tax details within the platform — synced with budget buckets. Once approved, invoices flow directly into SAP automatically. No manual data punching. No re-entry. Finance teams focus on decisions — not data entry.

Automatic SAP posting — zero manual entry
