Invoices, packing lists, transport records, certificates, licences, declarations, master data and customer-specific document requirements.

02

Automated workflow

Assemble the expected document set, compare shared fields, test validity and expiry, identify discrepancies and request missing evidence.

03

Checks and sources

Document presence, quantities and values across files, reference numbers, dates, validity, signatures, duplicates and defined business rules.

04

Outputs

A control result, discrepancy list, missing-document request, responsible owner, due date and evidence linked to every finding.
