ROI Impact

How This Automation Works
New Facilities Invoice Created → Invoice Synced to Accounting System
Invoice Detection and Data Extraction
The system continuously monitors your facilities management platform for new or modified invoices. When detected, it extracts complete invoice information including vendor details, invoice number, date, line items, quantities, unit prices, tax amounts, payment terms, and any attached documents or notes.
Data Validation and Mapping
Extracted invoice data is validated for completeness and accuracy. The system maps facilities invoice categories to appropriate general ledger accounts, assigns cost centers based on building or department rules, and ensures vendor information matches your accounting master file. Any data discrepancies trigger alerts for review.
Accounting Entry Creation
A complete accounting transaction is generated with proper debit and credit entries, general ledger coding, department allocation, and project tracking. Supporting documents are attached automatically, and the entry is coded according to your chart of accounts and financial reporting requirements.
Synchronization and Reconciliation
The completed entry is pushed to your accounting system in real-time or batched for scheduled processing. The system maintains a sync log for audit purposes, updates payment status bidirectionally, and reconciles totals to ensure data integrity between both platforms. Confirmation is sent to relevant stakeholders.
How It Works
Managing facilities operations generates countless invoices—from maintenance contracts and utility bills to equipment rentals and vendor payments. Manually entering these transactions into your accounting system is time-consuming, error-prone, and delays financial reporting. This automation creates a seamless bridge between your facilities management operations and accounting software, instantly syncing invoice data, payment statuses, and vendor information. Every time a facilities invoice is generated or updated, the corresponding entry is automatically created or modified in your accounting ledger with proper categorization, cost center allocation, and supporting documentation. Maintain real-time visibility into facilities spending, accelerate month-end close processes, and ensure compliance with financial reporting standards—all without touching a spreadsheet.
The Trigger
Automatically detects when a new facilities invoice is generated, including maintenance work orders, service contracts, utility bills, equipment purchases, or vendor invoices. Captures all invoice details including line items, tax amounts, vendor information, cost centers, and payment terms.
The Action
Creates or updates the corresponding accounting entry with complete invoice details, proper general ledger coding, department allocation, vendor records, and attached supporting documents. Updates payment status when invoices are paid and reconciles transactions automatically.
