plico, the AI-assisted document processing suite
End-to-end and straight into SAP S/4HANA. All plico features
AI solution for on-premise, private cloud and public cloud customers
plico reads, checks and posts your
documents into SAP S/4HANA.
More than 40 document types, from the delivery note to the payment advice. People only review the doubtful cases.
Set-up takes days, not weeks. The demo takes 30 minutes, no preparation needed, using one of your real document types.
The recording follows one document end to end: extracted, checked against master data, doubtful cases handed to a reviewer, posted in SAP S/4HANA.
What is plico?
plico is AI-assisted document processing software from operayo GmbH in Bielefeld, Germany. It reads your incoming documents: invoices, delivery notes, orders, order confirmations, payment advices. plico checks the data against your SAP master data and posts it straight into SAP S/4HANA or SAP ECC. It runs Clean Core compliant next to your system, with every step logged audit-proof. Anything unclear goes to a person.

Why plico matters right now.
Three reasons, depending on which table you sit at. Incoming documents are rarely the loudest problem in the building. They are, however, the most expensive one nobody measures.
Your people are retyping documents.
Every delivery note, every order confirmation, every payment advice costs minutes. Those add up to headcount you need for other work.
From 2027 you have to touch the inbox anyway.
The e-invoicing mandate sets the date, not you. The only question is whether you solve one document type along the way or all of them.
The mandate solves exactly one type.
Delivery notes, orders, order confirmations and payment advices stay unstructured. They need an answer of their own.
From the inbox to the posting, one single
run.
Four phases, fourteen steps. The only thing that reaches a desk is what is unclear.
Intake
The document arrives, is recognised and checked against duplicates. Every document gets a fingerprint, so nothing enters the system twice.
Understanding
plico identifies what kind of document it is and reads out the content. Scans, photos and attachments included.
Deciding
The data is validated against your master data. Whatever is unambiguous passes through. Whatever raises questions lands in the review basket.
Posting and audit
The posting goes into SAP S/4HANA, and every step stays traceably logged.
A complete solution, not an interface
Inbox, validation and posting in one. You do not have to build anything around it.
A new document type is configuration
No development project, no new interface. 40 types are on the roadmap.
Human in the Lead
People stay in control. Nothing posts unsupervised, and what gets reviewed is what is unclear, not everything.
Automating does not mean giving up
control.
“The question is never how much an AI can handle. The question is who answers for it when it gets something wrong. That is why plico posts nothing unsupervised and logs every step: you get the speed without handing over the responsibility.”
Simon PamiesCTO, operayoYour data stays in Europe
EU data residency as an option. Raw data does not leave operayo.
Nothing gets posted twice
Every document gets a unique fingerprint. Duplicates drop out before the posting.
Every step is traceable
A complete log from intake to posting, auditable for internal audit and external auditors.
Your next release stays a weekend
plico sits next to your S/4HANA, not inside it. Upgrades stay what they were.
