100% monday
no new tool to learn
Invoices arrive in disorder. Nobody has time to key them in.
One supplier sends a PDF, another a phone photo from the job site, a third a half-cropped screenshot. Someone has to open each attachment, code it, match it against a purchase order, and enter it into monday.com. It's slow, repetitive, and it's where invoices get lost, or numbers get fat-fingered. Margin pays the price every month.
Email becomes a monday.com item. Automatically.
Your suppliers send invoices to a dedicated address. The AI recognizes the document, extracts the useful information, and creates the complete item in the monday.com board of your choice : vendor, invoice number, dates, subtotal, taxes, line items as subitems, and the original document attached. Your team compares the result with the original document before approving or rejecting it. Nothing gets paid without human validation.
PDF and photo extraction
PDF, JPEG, PNG and iPhone HEIC. Extraction can also work with a legible handwritten invoice; your team checks the result.
"Is this an invoice?" detection
The app attempts to distinguish invoices from signature logos and other attachments. Your team checks documents and results in the invoice tracking view.
Quebec-aware extraction
GST and QST extracted by rate, dates in DD/MM/YYYY, construction vocabulary. Designed for the Quebec context, not generic.
Line items as subitems
Extracted lines become monday.com subitems. Your team checks amounts, taxes and totals against the original document before approval.
100% inside monday.com
Invoice tracking view, configuration view, native automations to match vendor and purchase order. Your team follows the process in your monday.com workspace.
From incoming invoice to review.
Step 01Invoices arrive at your dedicated address
You set up an address like invoices-yourcompany@ocr.horizonnord.com and share it with your suppliers. They send as they always have. No portal, no account to create for them.
Step 02The AI reads and structures each invoice
From the PDF or image, the app extracts the vendor, invoice number, dates, subtotal, GST, QST, total and detailed lines. Your team checks the extracted information against the original invoice.
Step 03The item appears in monday.com, ready to approve
Your team sees the structured invoice in the tracking board, with the original document attached. Your team checks the fields and amounts before approval. monday.com automations do the rest : match against the PO, notify your accountant, update the vendor record.
The same friction, on every job site.
"We saw the same cycle repeat on every construction engagement: invoices piling up in an inbox, someone re-typing them at night, numbers that don't balance, payments that slip through. OCR isn't new. What was missing was stitching it tight to the team's monday.com workflow, in Quebec French, with the right taxes."
Your invoices. Defined access.
Your team reviews the extracted information in monday.com. Access permissions and the services used for AI extraction are specified during setup.
Extraction with Vertex AI
The app runs on monday code and sends the document to Vertex AI for extraction. Processing locations depend on the services and their configuration.
Per-tenant isolation
Each company has its own space, boards, and rules. No data crossover between accounts. Your Réno-Dépôt vendor isn't the same item as your neighbour's.
Production-grade security
Cloud authentication without permanent keys, secrets encrypted at rest and in transit, role-based access. The standards we'd apply to our own data.
Human in the loop
No invoice is marked paid without explicit human approval. The AI reads, your team decides. You stay in control.
