plico.
From inbox to SAP S/4HANA: automatically read, checked against your master data, and posted with full traceability. No manual typing.

Month-end bottlenecks when document volume overwhelms the team.
Typos & rework on amounts, IBANs, and reference numbers.
Skilled staff spending their time on routine work instead of review.

Your documents go through a transparent, logged process. So it's always clear what happened.
plico receives documents, reads and checks them, and hands them off to the right SAP downstream process. Four typical examples across your processes.
Read out, checked against the purchase order and goods receipt, and posted in S/4. Uncertain cases go to validation.
PDF and email orders are created as sales orders in S/4. Approval happens before posting.
Read out and matched to open items, including the long tail the standard leaves behind. No clearing without approval.
Quantities and line items checked, matched to the goods receipt, posting prepared.
One model, many document types: from credit notes to bank statements to customs papers. A new document class is configuration, not a coding project.
