Scan and Store Invoice Records for Audit Readiness and Quick Lookups with Digi+

Introduction

Invoices are the lifeblood of finance departments. Yet, managing them manually; scanning, storing, retrieving during audits can be chaotic and error-prone. When financial records are not systematically organized or digitized, organizations face delayed audits, compliance risks and significant productivity loss.

Enter Digi+, a robust document digitization and indexing platform that helps companies scan, store and retrieve invoice records effortlessly, ensuring compliance, accuracy and accessibility at every stage.

Whether you're a growing business or a large enterprise handling thousands of vendor and customer invoices monthly, Digi+ streamlines invoice record management to make you audit-ready and operationally efficient.

The Invoice Management Problem

Manual invoice storage can lead to:

    • Misplaced documents during filing or employee handovers
    • Unsearchable scanned PDFs lacking metadata
    • Poor version control resulting in payment disputes
    • Delayed audits due to long retrieval times
    • Non-compliance with tax and financial regulations like GST, SOX and DPDP

According to an Ardent Partners survey, 45% of AP professionals list “manual routing of invoices” and “difficulty accessing documents” as top challenges.

How Digi+ Helps: From Scanning to Audit-Readiness

Digi+ transforms your invoice handling process into a seamless, searchable and compliant operation. Here’s how:

1. High-Speed Invoice Scanning and Capture

Digi+ supports bulk scanning of paper invoices using:

    • High-speed document scanners
    • Mobile capture (for field offices and remote teams)
    • Email ingestion (auto-fetch invoices from accounts payable inboxes)

Example: A retail chain digitizes 1,000+ store invoices daily across multiple branches using Digi+'s centralized scanning system.

2. Intelligent Indexing with Metadata

Each scanned invoice is tagged with critical metadata, such as:

    • Invoice Number
    • Vendor Name
    • GSTIN / Tax ID
    • Invoice Date
    • PO / GRN Reference
    • Department / Branch

This ensures every invoice is searchable and trackable, even if filenames are inconsistent or documents are renamed.

3. OCR for Full-Text Searchability

Using advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Digi+ extracts text from scanned images and PDFs, allowing full-text searches.

Need to find a specific invoice with “AMC payment” from March 2023? Just search for the term—Digi+ will retrieve the document instantly.

4. Secure Central Repository for Invoices

All scanned and indexed invoices are stored in a centralized digital repository with:

    • Role-based access controls
    • Encrypted storage
    • Immutable audit trails
    • Version control

This ensures invoice documents are never lost, unauthorized access is prevented and every change is recorded.

5. Instant Retrieval for Audits and Compliance

Auditors may request historical invoices, vendor bills, or payment approvals. With Digi+, finance teams can retrieve records by:

    • Date ranges
    • Vendor name
    • Department
    • PO or invoice number
    • Keywords from invoice content

No more searching through emails or file cabinets during audit season.

6. Integration with Finance and ERP Systems

Digi+ supports API-based integration with:

    • Tally
    • SAP
    • Microsoft Dynamics
    • Oracle Financials

You can link scanned invoices to digital workflows, auto-match them with POs and even push validated data into accounting systems for seamless processing.
