AI-supported incoming invoice workflow from the Microsoft Cloud

free-com solutions, an expert in document-driven business processes, uses Insiders‘ technologically leading products as powerful components for classifying, reading and validating. Embedded in Microsoft 365 and easily available as SaaS (Software as a Service) from the Azure Marketplace, SMEs in particular, but also major customers, benefit from the solution.
free-com solutions GmbH has been developing and selling solutions for document-driven business processes for medium-sized and large companies in the DACH region for more than 20 years. Headquartered in Vienna, the provider automates everyday checking, approval and filing steps for important business documents such as incoming invoices, travel and expense reports and purchase orders. In addition to being intuitive and easy to use, it is particularly important to free-com solutions that solutions fit in well with the work process and enable efficient work by automating routine tasks and implementing compliance requirements independently. This is especially true when it comes to details or individual cases – this is how a good solution becomes the best solution on the market.

For the intelligent, AI-supported processing of documents, free-com solutions has been using Insiders products for many years – such as smart INVOICE for optimized incoming invoice processing. The solution impresses with an end-to-end digital process from invoice receipt to archiving, with particularly high flexibility in the design of the approval process and the integration option for many common financial accounting systems such as BMD, DATEV, Microsoft Dynamics 365 and SAP in all current versions.

Other products from the Insiders portfolio are also used by free-com solutions for other customer applications. smart ORDER, for example, is used in the O2C area for order acceptance at companies in the paper industry and logistics, while others use smart ORDER CONFIRMATION for order confirmations or smart DELIVERY NOTES for processing delivery bills.

„free-com solutions recognized the trend towards cloud-based solutions for the automation of business processes early on,

says Dr. Alexander Swienty, Head of Channel Management at Insiders.“Our joint customers therefore benefit in particular from the combination of free-com solutions‘ workflow engine and the automatic invoice recognition in our smart CLOUD.“

free-com solutions recognized the potential of the cloud model for its customers early on. Small and medium-sized end customers in particular do not have to worry about the costly and labor-intensive operation of their own infrastructure for the solution. The application is also very easy to put into operation with low initial investment and can be scaled flexibly. This is why free-com solutions offers its customers the choice of deployment: as a SaaS solution from the cloud or on premises. As a cloud service, the solution runs in Microsoft Azure and is particularly easy to obtain from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. With Insiders, free-com solutions has a partner at its side that implements a clear cloud strategy itself and offers the components both on premises and as a cloud service.

In particular with regard to its own claim to excellence – especially in customer-oriented detail – free-com solutions consistently uses the best components and, with more than 20 years of experience in the field, knows the market and the performance of the providers very well.

„There are many components that can read information from documents, but Insiders is unmatched by the competition in terms of the quality of the results and automated checking and validation, as well as the user-friendliness of the verification process, and is constantly innovating. Our customers clearly benefit from this quality,

explains Christian Cerny, Managing Director at free-com solutions.
