TIMELINE

12 weeks

ROLE

Full-Stack Architect

Accounting teams were spending most of their day on manual data entry - sorting incoming documents, classifying them, and keying numbers into the system. I built DocFlow to automate that entire workflow: documents come in, get classified automatically, data is extracted, GL accounts are suggested, and everything syncs to the ERP.

THE CHALLENGE

The Challenge

Document Volume

Accounting firms process hundreds of documents every day - invoices, receipts, bank statements, contracts - and each one needs to be handled correctly.

Classification

Documents arrive from multiple channels (email, upload, scan) in random order. The system must sort and classify them without any manual intervention.

Duplicates

The same document often comes in multiple times through different channels. Without smart duplicate detection, accountants waste time processing the same item twice.

ERP Sync

Extracted data must map to the firm's existing chart of accounts and flow into their ERP system without re-keying.

THE SOLUTION

The Solution

An end-to-end document intake system that handles everything from the moment a document arrives to the moment the data is in your ERP - classification, extraction, GL mapping, and deduplication all happen automatically.

INTAKE

Multi-Channel Intake

Documents arrive by email, direct upload, or scan - the system normalizes everything into a unified queue regardless of how it came in.

CLASSIFY

Automatic Document Classification

AI identifies document type (invoice, receipt, bank statement, contract) and routes it to the right processing workflow - no manual sorting needed.

GL_SUGGEST

Smart GL Account Suggestions

The system learns from your accounting history and suggests the correct general ledger account for each document - accountants just confirm instead of looking it up.

ERP_SYNC

Seamless ERP Integration

Processed data flows directly into your existing ERP system automatically - no copy-pasting, no re-keying, no export/import cycles.
