DocuWare for Accounting
Your Accounts Team Shouldn't be Spending Half Their Day on Admin.
Every business has an accounts payable process. In most cases, it looks something like this: an invoice arrives by email or post, someone keys the data into the finance system, someone else checks it against a purchase order, an approver is chased by email, and eventually - if nothing gets lost or delayed - payment is authorised.
It's slow. It's error-prone. And it doesn't have to work that way.
DocuWare automates the entire accounts payable process - from the moment an invoice is received to the moment it's authorised for payment - without changing your finance software.
How DocuWare Transforms Accounts Payable
Automatic invoice capture
Invoices are captured automatically from email, scanning, or nominated import folders - from any source, in any format. No manual collection, no missed items.
Intelligent data extraction
DocuWare's Intelligent Indexing reads each invoice and extracts key fields automatically - supplier name, invoice number, amounts, due dates, cost codes, and line items. No manual keying required.
Three-way matching
Each invoice is automatically cross-referenced against the corresponding purchase order and delivery note. Matching invoices move forward through the approval workflow. Discrepancies are flagged and routed to a nominated reviewer without disrupting the wider queue.
Configurable approval workflows
Approval routing is built to mirror your existing process - by invoice value, supplier, cost code, or department. Single-level or multi-level approval chains, run in sequence or in parallel. Approvers are notified immediately and can approve or reject from any device, including the DocuWare mobile app.
Integration with your finance system
DocuWare works alongside Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, SAP and over 500 other softwares. It doesn't replace your finance software - it removes the manual work that sits between document receipt and the system update.
A complete audit trail
Every invoice, every approval decision, every timestamp - stored and searchable. Full visibility for finance teams, auditors, and compliance purposes.
The Objection We Hear Most Often
Finance-Side
buyers frequently tell us they're not sure DocuWare can handle their specific process.
It's a reasonable concern
and it's almost always unfounded. DocuWare is a bespoke platform, not an off-the-shelf product. It's configured to replicate - improve, even - your existing workflows, not force you into a new one. Every implementation is built around how your business actually operates.
If you have a process
DocuWare can automate it. The right conversation to have is not "can it do this?" but "how would we configure this for our team?"

Common Questions
No - and it's not designed to. DocuWare works alongside your existing finance platform, automating the document handling and approval processes that sit around it.
DocuWare automatically cross-references invoice data against the corresponding purchase order and delivery note. Any discrepancy is flagged and routed to the appropriate person for review.
They're routed to a nominated reviewer rather than held up or lost. The rest of the approval queue continues uninterrupted.
Yes, absolutely.
There's no fixed threshold. The right question is how much time your team currently spends on invoice processing - and what that time costs your business.
