Welcome to imbas #

Imbas is an automated extraction and categorization tool for your account purchasing department to keyin your customer's business purchases. Imbas posts to Bukku accounting once your done verifying the purchase.

How it Works #

Imbas comes with an upload page where you can upload daily purchases made by the buisness. Once uploaded imbas will extract all the necessary data (invoice number, amount and date), supplier and categorize the bill into the correct Accounting Code and Name.

On the verify page, you simple confirm the correctness of the extracted data and categorization. Once you are satisfied, you send it to Bukku either one at a time or in bulk. Imbas will take care the process of posting to Bukku. After a few minutes you will the selected purchase in on your Bukku accounting software.

Imbas uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract the data and categorize the purchase. Why AI and not a normal Object Character Recognition (OCR) solution? Well we wanted imbas to be smart enough like a human to categorize the purchase to its appropriate Account Code, rather than extracting data from an invoice or receipt.

Why imbas was built #

Imbas was build to help our accountants be accountants and not data entry zombies. We assign an accountant to 7 customers with all of them having daily purhase for supplies. On a typical day each accountant has to enter around 30 purhases or bills into Bukku per customer(our cloud base accounting software). That comes to around 210 invoices per day and 6,300 invoices per month!

With that much volume, data entry mistakes will definately happen! And fixing these mistakes has come at a huge cost. It take time to find and fix the mistake, delay in making payments to the supplier and delay in producing reports.
