Solving the Real Problems in Education Finance

When funding rules are strict and staff are spread across campuses, manual finance processes are not just inefficient. They create risk.

credit_card_gear_48dp_44546A_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Shared cards
When cards are shared across staff, there is no clear ownership of spend. Reconciling who bought what, and why, takes time and creates extra follow-up for finance. 

add_chart_48dp_44546A_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Weak budget controls
Without centralised budget tracking, budget owners often only see spend after it reaches the ledger. By then, overspend is harder to prevent. 

description_48dp_44546A_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Manual reconciliation and paperwork
Finance teams rely on spreadsheets, paper forms and manual data entry for expenses and card reconciliation. Hours are lost chasing receipts and correcting coding. 

frame_inspect_48dp_FFF_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Compliance and audit pressure
Missing receipts, ad-hoc approvals and scattered documentation make audits stressful and time-consuming. 

rule_48dp_44546A_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Delayed approvals across campuses
Teachers, lecturers and administrators often have limited availability, slowing approvals and delaying purchases. 

corporate_fare_48dp_FFF_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48

Multi-campus and funding complexity
Expenses must be coded correctly by campus, department, program or grant. Errors can create reporting issues and funding risk. 

AI Powered AP OCR

Invoices entered once—no manual typing ever again


Our AI-powered invoice scanning and extraction instantly reads even the most complex invoice formats, automatically extracting and validating data. No templates or manual entry required, just clean, accurate invoice data flowing seamlessly into your workflows

Our machine learning-powered engine has been trained on millions of supplier invoices delivering exceptional first-time accuracy.

Get 100% accuracy, verified by local experts

ProSpend has been a market leader in delivering an uncompromising invoice extraction service with HITL.  

HITL machine learning can be thought of as attended machine learning and it allows us to guarantee 100% accuracy on invoice data extraction. Without the HITL model, every time an exception is received it will require manual data entry by the finance team and because the machine is not trained, low accuracy rates will continue.

That’s just not a complete service. Document exceptions are handled by ProSpend within our end-to-end process and this process is managed entirely by our team.

"ProSpend delivers a system that achieves the perfect harmony between the work of machines and that of people; the more you use it, the smarter it gets."

Invoice details, captured accurately every time

ProSpend offers either header or line-item OCR data extraction. 

Line item extraction takes invoice processing to the next level by capturing detailed information at the line-item level.

This means every product, service, quantity, and price is accurately extracted and coded, providing complete transparency and control over your spending. 

Every supplier reconciled, not just your top 10

Why reconcile just your top suppliers when you can reconcile them all?

With ProSpend’s Statement Reconciliation, you can eliminate the manual processes that limit businesses to reconciling only their largest suppliers.

Our solution enables full visibility across your entire supplier base, while strengthening financial controls and improving supplier relationships.
