DocuClipper Invoice Approval extracts invoice data with OCR, routes invoices to rule-based approvers, records decisions, and posts approved invoices to accounting systems. Rules can be based on amount, vendor, customer, GL account, expense category, and description or memo, with either all-approver or any-approver logic. Before routing, it can match purchase orders, validate invoice math, and detect duplicate invoice numbers. The invoice timeline records submissions, requirements, votes, users, timestamps, rules, and comments. Integrations include QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage, Quicken, cloud storage services, email forwarding, and an API. The web application works in modern browsers; iOS and Android apps support document capture and upload. Customer documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, and the company maintains a SOC 2 Type II report. The service approves and posts invoices but does not pay vendors. There is no free plan; a 14-day trial is listed, and Starter costs $20 a month billed annually.
