The Problem

3-Way Matching Is Your
Biggest Bottleneck.

Manual matching isn’t just slow — it’s expensive. Here’s what’s leaking your margin:

AP teams spend 70% of their month comparing POs, GRNs, and invoices across disconnected systems. Every invoice is a manual exercise.
Messy OCR, vendor errors, and partial shipments drive a 22% exception rate. That’s 917 hours of human triage monthly for a mid-market firm.
Late matching means late payments. That’s ~$300K in early-pay discounts forfeited every year.
One PO can have multiple shipments, each with a different GRN. Reconciling partial deliveries manually is error-prone and slow.
Manual processes lack a readable trail. Auditors flag gaps, and your team scrambles to reconstruct decisions after the fact.
Without automated verification, fraudulent or duplicate invoices slip through. Manual spot-checks can’t catch everything.

The Solution

Hallucination-Free
Automation.

The Kognitos platform is built on one principle: English as Code™. The same engine that automates 3-way matching powers accounts receivable, procurement, and sales order entry. If the system is unsure, it asks a human in plain English. No guessing. No errors.

AI agent extracts invoice data via OCR/NLP, normalizes line items, and prepares them for matching — regardless of PDF layout, email format, or EDI structure. No templates to maintain, no model training required.

Auto-matches each invoice line against POs and goods receipts using business rules you write in English — not pixel coordinates or SQL queries.

Traditional RPA
invoice = bot.read_screen(region=(120,340,580,380))
po = erp.query("SELECT po_num FROM orders WHERE...")
if abs(float(invoice['total']) - float(po['amount'])) > 0.02:
    bot.click(x=445, y=612)  # "Exception" button
    bot.type_text(exception_queue, invoice['id'])
    send_email(ap_team, f"Mismatch on {invoice['id']}")
# TODO: breaks when SAP updates UI layout
Kognitos

“Match each invoice line to the PO and goods receipt.

If the shipping fee is >10% of the PO total, ask Sarah for approval.

Post the matched record back to NetSuite.”

When a mismatch occurs — a new vendor format, an unexpected price variance, a missing field — Kognitos stops and asks your AP team in plain English: “Is this the new tax ID?” Once confirmed, that rule is permanent. No hallucinations, no fabricated data, no silent errors. Duplicate invoices and discrepancies are flagged automatically before any payment is released.
Matching happens within minutes of invoice arrival. Enable on-time or early payments, capture discounts, and keep vendors happy.
Platform tracks multiple goods receipts against a single PO, reconciling partial shipments automatically. One PO, three deliveries, two invoices? Handled.

Every step logged in plain English — full audit trail, no black-box decisions. This is what your auditor sees:

The Real Cost of
“Automation”

RPA isn’t cheap when you factor in the $150K+ developers needed to fix broken bots.

Honest fit

Best fit: organizations processing 5K+ invoices/mo with standard ERP integrations (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite). For complex global payments across 50+ countries and currencies, a dedicated global payments platform may complement Kognitos. That said, 3-way matching is just the starting point — the platform extends to full finance automation, procurement, and sales order processing.

“Fruit on the ground”
JBI Interiors

Started with AP invoice matching through Kognitos + Epicor. Their CFO called it “fruit on the ground” for quick value.

Now expanding to sales order entry

Proved value on AP in weeks, then unlocked new automations on the same platform. That’s the Kognitos pattern.

$15+ → $3
Industry Benchmark

Kognitos reduces blended invoice processing cost from $15–$25 down to $3 per invoice. An 80% reduction with full audit trails and zero developer involvement.

FAQ

Common questions,
straight answers.

ERPs are great at storage, but terrible at logic. Kognitos acts as the “brain” that feeds your ERP clean, matched data — handling partial deliveries, shipping discrepancies, and exceptions that usually require a human.
We don’t let the AI “guess” financial values. Our patented runtime only executes logic defined in English. If a rule doesn’t exist, it stops and asks you. Every decision is logged with a full audit trail.
RPA relies on “bots” that break when a UI changes or a PDF layout shifts. Kognitos uses English-as-Code — it understands the data, not pixel locations. If a vendor changes their invoice format tomorrow, Kognitos asks you to confirm the change, then handles it forever. No developer, no ticket.
SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant. Data encrypted in transit and at rest, with full PII masking. Native connectors for SAP, Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Epicor, and Sage.
Fair. That’s why we offer a free pilot. Pick your hardest invoice type — partial deliveries, multi-format vendors, whatever keeps your team up at night — and let Kognitos prove it in your environment. 1,000 invoices, 30 days, $0.
