The small, monotonous, time-consuming, administrative tasks that never seem to end. Invoices, purchase orders, travel expenses, proof of deliveries. These documents normally end up in your inbox as PDFs or on your desk as papers. Then you must open, read-thru, and manually input all that data into your ERP. But what if you didn’t have to?
