caito smart allocations — the AI upgrade for your preliminary account assignment

Up to 98% of your invoices are automatically pre-assigned to accounts

caito smart allocations enhances cisbox Invoice with AI-powered preliminary account assignment—ready to use from the very first invoice, without rulesets and without a learning phase. Each invoice line item is evaluated individually, even for mixed, consolidated, and project invoices with many different line items. The more complex and extensive your invoices are, the greater the time savings. caito smart allocations steps in where static rules reach their limits.

Why is manual invoice processing so time-consuming?

According to Ardent Partners, manually processing an incoming invoice takes an average of about 10 days because data entry, verification, account assignment, and approval are spread across email, paper, and disparate systems. Every media break between the ERP, financial accounting, and approval process creates additional manual effort and increases the error rate during data entry. Without end-to-end automation, rising invoice volumes lead to a proportional increase in staffing needs in accounts payable, while unclear approval workflows cause discount periods to expire and trigger reminders. According to KPMG, more than half of companies in the DACH region still process incoming invoices manually—with corresponding costs and risks for compliance and liquidity planning.

How does cisbox Invoice automate the invoice intake process?

cisbox Invoice automates the entire invoice processing workflow from capture to payment: Incoming invoices received via email, mail, upload, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD, EDI, or the Peppol network are automatically captured using OCR/Intelligent Document Processing, including line item data. Rule-based preliminary account assignment suggests appropriate accounts, optionally expandable with caito smart allocations to achieve an automation rate of up to 98%. Digital, multi-stage approval workflows with escalation logic replace email and paper-based approvals, while standard and custom interfaces to DATEV, SAP, Oracle, BMD, and Diamant transfer the data to the financial accounting or ERP system, ready for posting. Payments can be initiated directly from cisbox Invoice—via standard SEPA export or fully automated through konfipay.
