    98% of tax documents

    Automatic tax document capture and predictability over expenses, cash flow, and reports.

    Documents captured

    98%

    1st full month

    2,007 invoices

    Team on process

    4 → 1 person

    Before: Little visibility into tax documents. Four people receiving, checking, and posting invoices manually. Some expenses only appeared when the supplier chased payment.

    After: Automatic capture via Qive, PO validation, exception handling, and pre-registration in Microsoft Dynamics.

    Result: 98% of documents captured, 2,007 invoices in the first month, and the process went from four people executing to one supervising.

    Go for it. They are a serious, competent team that always finds good solutions, respecting the company's limitations and existing systems.

    What changed in the operation

    Real visibility

    Expenses are known when the document is issued, not only when the supplier sends it or chases payment.

    Cash predictability

    Actuals could run ~40% above forecast. Now there is a clear cause when something does not enter the flow.

    More consistent reports

    More linear and auditable numbers, with less swing from late documents.

    Once we gained visibility into 98% of tax documents, we could record better, report better, and give shareholders more predictability.

    What used to take an entire morning now takes five minutes. And the team started thinking less about how to do it and more about how to automate it.
