The Problem

30,000 invoices a year, and every one matched by hand.

Follow the Camino received approximately 30,000 invoices a year. They didn't arrive in one tidy format: many were handwritten, they came in different languages, and they turned up sometimes as Word documents and sometimes as PDFs.

The team matched every one of these invoices manually. That admin work took time away from the team — time that should have gone into the trips and the people walking them.

What We Built

One platform that reads the invoice and makes the match.

Reading

OCR for every format

Invoices are read whatever form they arrive in — handwritten, Word or PDF — and turned into data the system can work with.

Understanding

AI across languages

An AI layer interprets invoices written in different languages, so a supplier's language no longer decides how long an invoice takes to process.

Matching

Automated invoice matching

The matching the team used to do by hand is now done by the platform, automating the process end to end.

The Result

Time back for the team

Instead of spending hours on admin, the team gets that time back for the work that actually needs them.

What Changed

30,000 invoices a year, no longer matched by hand.

Manual invoice matching has been replaced with an automated process built on AI and OCR, saving the team hours of admin work.
