Filestack OCR for invoices

Your business solves a problem for your users, but this journey is so much more than the product itself. Support handles any customer concerns, marketing acts as a guide for the product itself, and the list goes on and on.

With little to no “one size fits all” cross-departmental software, you end up with a rolodex of micro-services. This poses an internal problem for businesses in the form of invoices. In order to accurately track a company’s budget, these invoices have to be carefully organized and tracked. This is a task that is much easier said than done.
