Using artificial intelligence for clever document read-out

Numerous optimizations have been driven forward and implemented in recent months. This includes intelligent receipt reading in the purchasing area: bexio previously made it possible to automatically read QR invoices and create supplier invoices with the correct content. This function has now been supplemented by «Scan2Go»: from now on, users can not only scan receipts and vouchers without a QR code, but also process them automatically using AI-controlled reading (AI = artificial intelligence) – quickly and efficiently via the «bexio Go» mobile app.
