Invoice processing rebuilt on a fine-tuned model with direct SAP integration

• High operational cost from extensive manual verification of invoices.
• Invoices lost in transit, with little visibility or control.
• A licensed, off-the-shelf tool that wasn't precise enough for the region's invoice formats.

• Evaluated document AI services from GCP, Azure, AWS and others against Bio-Rad's own invoices.
• Fine-tuned the strongest candidate for regional invoice formats and nuances.
• Built an API that posts extracted data directly into SAP.
• Replaced the licensed service and brought email intake and invoice handling in-house.
• Delivered an SAP-integrated dashboard for real-time tracking of invoice processing.

• In production in APAC, with US and EU rollout planned.
• Higher extraction accuracy than the licensed tool it replaced.
• Full in-house control of intake and invoice management, reducing the risk of lost documents.

• Fine-tuned document AI
• SAP API integration
• Email intake
• SAP-integrated dashboard

Extend the fine-tuned model to the US and EU, adapting it to each region's requirements.
