Questions people ask

How accurate is it?

It only files what it is confident about and puts everything else in an exception list for a human. Guessing is the one thing it is not allowed to do.

Which systems can it write into?

Xero and Sage Business Cloud directly, anything else through a sheet or API at setup.

What does it cost?

€1.20 per document entered and coded, so a normal month is €180–480 and never more than €400. Typical saving is 6–16 hours of data entry a week.

Hired most by accountants and bookkeepers and e-commerce businesses.
