Sound familiar?

Manually finding invoices in document stacks is tedious

Invoices mixed with other docs

Invoices are mixed with letters, contracts and other documents. Each document needs to be checked individually.

Manual extraction

Typing invoice numbers and company names by hand, renaming files manually — error-prone and slow.

Inconsistent filing

Without a system, invoices end up in different folders with different naming conventions.

Why Use Invoice Recognition with Docusplit?

Why invoice detection with Docusplit?

Automatic detection

The AI detects invoices in mixed stacks — whether between letters, contracts or forms.

Invoice number, company name and date are automatically extracted and used in the file name.

Accounting-ready

Uniformly named invoices with CSV metadata — ready for accounting software.

Automatically detecting invoices — even in mixed document stacks

In practice, invoices rarely come alone: they're stuck between delivery notes, contracts, reminders, and advertising. Anyone who scans a mail stack or processes a digital document inbox must first laboriously filter out invoices — a time-consuming and error-prone task.

Docusplit solves exactly this problem. The AI analyzes each page of your PDF and recognizes invoices based on typical features: invoice number, invoice date, tax number, amount line, and sender information. Non-invoices like letters or contracts are separately classified and stored with their own naming scheme.

What's special: the AI also distinguishes between an invoice and an order confirmation, a cost estimate, or a quote — document types that look similar but must be treated completely differently in accounting. This way, only real invoices end up in the invoice folder.

From scan to accounting-ready filing in seconds

The biggest time savings in invoice processing isn't in scanning, but in filing. Manually, this takes 2-5 minutes per invoice: read the invoice number, identify the supplier, rename the file, move it to the right folder. With 50 invoices per month, that's 2-4 hours of monotonous work.

Docusplit automates this entire process. After upload, the AI extracts the invoice number and company name and names the file following the pattern INV2024-0815_Mueller_GmbH.pdf. This format is ideal for accounting: the invoice number is at the front for quick finding, the company name behind it for assignment.

The included CSV overview contains all extracted metadata (invoice number, sender, date, page count) and can be directly imported into Excel or accounting software. For GoBD-compliant archiving, the complete documentation of all processed invoices is thus automatically provided.
