eInvoicing vs scanning? but I have a solution..

Many larger businesses and government departments are now exploring eInvoicing, often at the executive level. But as they look to modernise, they frequently run into a roadblock:

Their existing invoice scanning solution wasn’t built for eInvoicing.

In most cases, these systems try to convert structured invoice data into PDFs, completely missing the point of what eInvoicing offers.

Invoice scanning has been a go-to solution for years, especially among enterprises with high-volume accounts payable teams. These setups often include automated matching, approval workflows, and compliance rules layered on top. But when companies ask their finance software provider whether the system supports eInvoicing, the answer often involves a costly upgrade, plus an ongoing need for third-party tools to manage compliance.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need to start over.

Acume offers a cloud-based eInvoicing portal that solves this problem. It displays eInvoice data in a clean, human-readable format, so your finance team and anyone else in the approval chain can review it just as they would a scanned document.

Even better, Acume exports structured data directly into your accounting or ERP system using the same formats and integrations your scanning solution uses today. You don’t need to overhaul your finance stack.

Still processing PDFs? Acume can handle those too, within the same workflow. That means no split systems, no additional overhead, and a seamless transition to eInvoicing.

The Result:

You gain access to rich, structured source data. You reduce errors. You speed up processing times. And you prepare your business for the future of finance, all without disrupting your current processes.
