Automate & add intelligence
Business process automation from the first document to the final report
Workflow automation moves single hand-offs. Business process automation takes a whole process — supplier invoicing, order fulfilment, month-end reporting, compliance documentation — and redesigns it to run end to end with minimal manual steps. AutoProbaho maps the process as it really is, removes the steps that exist only because of paper or re-typing, and builds the automation, review points and reports that let a small team run a much larger operation.
Processes grew around paper and people, not around flow
A purchase-to-pay process in a typical factory touches a requisition slip, a WhatsApp approval, a printed PO, a delivery challan, a supplier invoice PDF, an Excel register and an accounting entry — with someone re-typing at almost every step. Month-end reporting is the same story in reverse: exports from three systems, pasted into a workbook, corrected by hand, formatted, sent. The process works because people are diligent, and it stalls the moment they are busy, absent or replaced.
Adding a new tool to one step rarely helps, because the process was never designed as a whole. Errors are found late, audits take days of file-hunting, and management sees numbers weeks after the fact. The fix is not more effort — it is a process redesigned so that documents become data on arrival, checks run automatically, exceptions go to people, and reports assemble themselves.
Who this is for
- Manufacturers, garments units and distributors with heavy document flows — POs, challans, invoices, compliance records
- Finance and admin teams spending days each month on reconciliation and management reports
- Clinics, logistics operators and service firms with intake forms, approvals and regulatory paperwork
- Management that wants processes to be measurable, auditable and independent of individual staff
Current pain points
Data is entered several times
The same invoice or order is typed into a register, a system and a report; every copy is a chance to differ.
Checks happen at the end
Mismatches between PO, receipt and invoice are found at payment or audit time, not on arrival.
Month-end takes a week
Reports are assembled from exports and memory; the first version is usually wrong somewhere.
Audits mean file hunting
Buyer, tax or internal audits require days of finding approvals, challans and certificates.
The process depends on specific people
One clerk knows how it really works; when they are away the process slows or stops.
What AutoProbaho builds
Process redesign
The current process mapped step by step, the manual and duplicate steps removed, and a target process defined with clear owners, rules and exceptions.
Document and email processing
Invoices, POs, challans, forms and emails captured from inbox, scanner or phone, read into structured data, validated against master data and routed — with review queues for uncertain cases.
Automated matching and reconciliation
PO–receipt–invoice matching, bank and payment gateway reconciliation, stock versus ledger checks — run continuously with exceptions surfaced immediately.
Automated reporting
Daily, weekly and month-end reports built directly from your systems, delivered on schedule to WhatsApp, email or a dashboard, with drill-down to source records.
Compliance and audit packs
Approvals, certificates, VAT (Mushak) forms and buyer-compliance documents collected automatically and exportable as an audit-ready pack.
Modules & capabilities
Intake channels
Email inboxes, scanner folders, WhatsApp uploads, phone photos and web forms as entry points for documents.
Extraction & validation
OCR and AI extraction with confidence scoring, master-data lookups, duplicate detection and business-rule checks.
Matching engine
Configurable two- and three-way matching, tolerances, exception categories and resolution workflows.
Approval & exception handling
Routing of exceptions to the right person with context; decisions logged; escalation on delay.
Posting connectors
Validated data posted to ERP, accounting (Tally, QuickBooks, Xero, DATEV export) and CRM without re-typing.
Report builder
Templates for sales, stock, receivables, production and cash reports; scheduling; multilingual delivery.
Audit trail & archive
Every document, extraction, decision and posting stored and searchable; retention rules per document type.
Process dashboard
Cycle times, exception rates, backlog and throughput per process step, visible to process owners.
Interactive demonstration
Example workflows
Supplier invoice to payment
- 1Invoice arrives by email or is photographed at the gate
- 2Data is extracted and matched to PO and goods receipt
- 3Matched invoices are posted for payment; mismatches go to purchasing with the difference shown
- 4Payment run is prepared with approvals recorded
- 5Supplier receives a payment advice; the pack is archived for audit
Month-end management report
- 1On the first working day, data is pulled from ERP, accounting and CRM
- 2Reconciliation checks run and flag open items
- 3Reports and charts are generated per template
- 4Finance reviews and comments in the system
- 5Final pack is delivered to management by email and dashboard
Buyer compliance documentation
- 1Required documents per order and buyer are defined as a checklist
- 2Certificates, test reports and approvals are collected as they are produced
- 3Missing or expiring items are flagged to the responsible person
- 4The pack is assembled automatically per shipment
- 5Auditors receive a read-only link with the full trail
Integrations
- Your ERP, accounting and CRM systems
- Email (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) and scanner folders
- WhatsApp Business for document uploads and report delivery
- Banks and payment gateways (bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz)
- OCR / AI extraction services
- Document storage (Google Drive, SharePoint, S3)
- n8n workflow automation
- BI dashboards
Implementation process
- 01
Process audit
We walk the process end to end with the people who run it, collect sample documents and measure cycle time, touches and error points.
- 02
Target design
A redesigned process with fewer steps, defined rules, review points and reports — agreed with process owners before building.
- 03
Build and pilot
Extraction, matching, posting and reporting built and run on a pilot scope — one supplier group, one branch — alongside the current process.
- 04
Cut-over
Full volume moves to the new process; the old registers are retired; staff are trained on exceptions rather than data entry.
- 05
Measure and refine
Cycle time and exception rates are tracked; rules are tuned; the next process is selected.
Expected business outcomes
Documents become data on arrival
No re-typing between intake, system and report.
Errors are caught early
Mismatches and missing items surface when they can still be fixed cheaply.
Reports on schedule
Management receives the same reliable pack every period without manual assembly.
Audit-ready by default
Every step is traceable; audit packs take minutes, not days.
Security & ownership
Traceability
Immutable log of documents, extractions, decisions and postings; who did what and when.
Segregation of duties
Roles for capture, approval, posting and payment enforced by the system.
Data protection
Documents stored in your environment with retention rules; GDPR/DSGVO and GoBD-aware design for German clients.
Frequently asked questions
Workflow automation connects steps between tools. Business process automation redesigns a whole process — intake, checks, approvals, posting and reporting — and often includes document processing and reconciliation. Most projects use both.
Supplier invoicing (purchase-to-pay), order-to-cash, month-end reporting and compliance documentation deliver clear results because they are document-heavy and repetitive.
We test on your own samples first and set confidence thresholds so uncertain fields go to a person. Reliability improves as corrections feed back into the rules.
A single process such as supplier invoicing typically reaches pilot within 6–10 weeks and full cut-over a few weeks later, depending on document variety and integrations.
You gain it. Every step is logged, exceptions go to named people, and process dashboards show cycle time and errors that were previously invisible.
