Benefits

What your company gains with NovaDocs

Time

Documents in SAP in minutes

What took days of typing is posted almost as soon as the email arrives.

Team

Fewer people typing

The same team handles far more documents: people move from typing to reviewing exceptions only.

Costs

Fewer costly errors

Prevents duplicate payments, wrong withholdings, fraud and rework.

Revenue

Orders invoiced sooner

Customer purchase orders become sales orders instantly: you ship and invoice faster.

NovaDocs

Every document typed by hand means time, errors and risk.

01

Manual data entry

Every invoice is keyed into the ERP: hours of work, transcription errors and delayed closings.

02

Scattered documents

PDFs in mailboxes, scans in folders and photos in chats. Nobody knows what arrived, what is missing or what was posted.

03

Risk of paying wrong

Duplicate invoices, amounts that do not match the PO or bank account changes that slip through.

NovaDocs

From inbox to ERP in four steps

  1. 1

    Receive

    Connect a mailbox like invoices@yourcompany.com, a shared folder, WhatsApp or the vendor portal, or drag in the files. NovaDocs picks up every document as it arrives.

  2. 2

    Understand

    AI identifies the document type and extracts header, lines, taxes and totals, even from a scan or a photo.

  3. 3

    Validate

    Cross-checks vendor, purchase order, goods receipt, quantities and taxes against SAP Business One.

  4. 4

    Post

    Creates the document in SAP as a draft or posts it based on your rules. Anything uncertain goes to a review queue.

NovaDocs

What no OCR does

Features designed by IDA to go far beyond reading text.

Learns from every correction

IDA innovation

When someone fixes a field, NovaDocs remembers it for that vendor. Accuracy improves with use, without retraining or templates.

Fraud guardian

IDA innovation

Detects duplicate invoices, out-of-pattern amounts and changes to vendor bank details before they get paid.

Automatic reply to sender

IDA innovation

If the PO is missing, the tax ID does not match or the document is unreadable, NovaDocs replies to the vendor explaining what to fix.

Invoices via WhatsApp

IDA innovation

Drivers, sales reps or vendors snap a photo and send it via WhatsApp. NovaDocs processes it just like a PDF.

Ask your documents

With NEXO AI

With NEXO AI: "which invoices from this vendor are due this week?" or "show me the PO for this invoice", in plain language.

Field-by-field confidence

Every extracted value comes with a confidence score. Your team only reviews what is uncertain, not the whole document.

NovaDocs

Documents it processes

Vendor invoices

Header, lines, taxes and totals, linked to the purchase order and goods receipt.

Goods receipts

Records what was received against the purchase order and completes the 3-way match: order, receipt and invoice.

Purchase orders

Turns quotes or orders received into purchase orders and warns when prices drift from history.

Customer purchase orders

The order your customer emails becomes a sales order in SAP with their price list, stock check and delivery date.

Delivery notes and waybills

Receipts and shipments recorded with their digital proof attached.

Credit and debit notes

Automatically linked to the original invoice.

Payment and withholding receipts

Reconciled against open vendor or customer invoices.

Other documents

Contracts, certificates and supporting files classified and archived with the ERP record.

NovaDocs

It comes in the way it already arrives

No change to your vendors’ or customers’ habits.

Microsoft 365 email

Reads the invoice mailbox via Microsoft Graph and picks up PDF, image, XML or JSON attachments.

IMAP email

Works with any email provider: Gmail, Zoho or your own hosting.

Shared folder

Ideal for scanners: whatever lands in the folder is processed, and anything that fails is set aside for review.

Manual upload

Drag and drop one or several files at once from the portal.

WhatsApp and vendor portal

Photos via WhatsApp and invoices the vendor uploads themselves, with their status in view.

Channel health

Metrics per channel, last error with a suggested fix and an email alert after 3 failures in a row.

NovaDocs

Validated against SAP Business One before it lands

NovaDocs queries SAP in read-only mode to stop the errors that today are found too late.

3-way match

3-way

Cross-checks the invoice with the purchase order and goods receipt: quantities, prices and open items.

Price variance

Warns when a purchase order price drifts from the last price paid.

Real duplicates

Detects the same invoice even when it arrives scanned and as a native PDF, or with the number written differently.

Business partner

Checks that the vendor or customer exists and is active, finding it by tax ID or name.

Items and accounts

Matches each line to a valid item or G/L account, with suggestions based on that partner’s purchase history.

Totals and taxes

Checks that lines, taxes and total add up, and requires a due date when applicable.

NovaDocs

Your team only touches what needs attention

What is correct moves on by your rules; what is uncertain reaches the right person with the original alongside.

Command center

Today’s pending items, ready for SAP, errors, average time to SAP, hours saved and AI spend for the month.

Review screen

The original next to the extracted data, highlighting where each value came from, with inline correction and one-click discard of unrelated files.

Approval rules

By partner, amount, currency or document type: auto-approve, request approval or send to review.

Approval from your phone

Mobile

The approver gets a secure single-use link, sees the summary and lines and approves or rejects with a reason, without logging in.

Full history

Each document keeps its timeline: receipt, reading, validations, corrections, approvals and delivery to SAP.

Safe retries

If SAP does not respond, the document is flagged with the error and retried without duplicating.

NovaDocs

Vendor portal

A simple space where each vendor submits invoices and tracks their status, with no calls or “did you get my invoice?” emails.

No passwords

Portal

The vendor signs in with a magic link sent to their email.

Up to 10 files at once

Uploads invoices from a computer or phone, in Spanish or English.

Status in view

Received, In review, Accepted or Rejected, with the reason when rejected.

SAP partners only

You invite vendors that exist in SAP, resend invitations or revoke access instantly.

Vendor already identified

Documents arrive linked to their business partner, ready to validate.

To each their own

Each vendor sees only their own documents.

NovaDocs

Artificial intelligence under your control

Each company picks its AI provider and model, with its own key, and controls what it spends.

OpenAI or Anthropic

No lock-in

With your company’s key and the model you prefer. A document can be reprocessed with another provider or model.

Two-step classification

A low-cost model discards newsletters, logos and unrelated files before paying for the full read.

Monthly budget

Monthly spend per model; when the cap is reached, processing pauses and admins are notified. Nothing is lost: documents wait.

Partner memory

Remembers how each vendor or customer was corrected and applies it next time; if a person corrects the document type, their decision prevails.

NovaDocs

Control, security and compliance

Safe for your SAP

Service Layer

Never writes directly to the database: it reads in read-only mode and creates documents through the official Service Layer, respecting SAP validations and permissions.

Tax validation

Checks tax IDs, tax calculations and withholdings according to your rules.

Archive and traceability

The original stays linked to the SAP document, with a history of who reviewed, corrected and approved.

Roles and permissions

Viewer, reviewer and admin profiles per company; the AI key is stored encrypted.

Nightly backup

Daily copy of the originals with integrity verification and a restore guide.

Multi-company and bilingual

Data, channels, rules and AI kept separate per company, with an interface in Spanish and English.
