Detect invoices
and split automatically
Docusplit finds invoices in mixed document stacks, separates them automatically and names each file with invoice number and company name.
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.

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.
