A cloud ERP move that made invoice capture stronger, not harder

Why Central Otago District Council replaced an unstable legacy extraction tool with Xtracta after moving to MAGIQ Cloud, adding compliance checks and AI learning to its monthly invoice processing.

“With Xtracta, it’s a lot smoother, and the system learns as well.”

Automated compliance flags

Disruption felt by staff at switchover

the need

Stable capture for a cloud ERP

CODC manages a high volume of supplier invoices each month and needs accuracy, compliance and efficiency. After transitioning to MAGIQ Cloud, its existing extraction tools proved unstable and incompatible with modern authentication.

the CHALLENGE

A legacy tool that couldn’t keep up

The old tool needed constant maintenance, was unreliable, and couldn’t support modern authentication tokens after the cloud move. Limited learning meant diverse invoice formats needed manual workarounds and repetitive rule-building.

Legacy tool

Unreliable, high maintenance

Auth

No support for modern tokens

Learning

Repetitive rule-building per format

Risk

Compliance and audit exposure

the APPROACH

Automate, then verify

Custom compliance checks flag fields red or green before anything reaches MAGIQ.

Recommended and validated

Backed by MAGIQ and positive peer-council reviews.

Seamless integration

Invoices auto-populate MAGIQ with metadata and PDF.

Compliance checks

Bank accounts and POs validated; fields flag red or green.

One-click go

When everything reads green, the operator simply pushes go.

  • Paperless Environments

    Paperless Environments’ construction clients were trapped by template-based OCR that broke whenever a subcontractor changed an invoice format — so only 4–5% used it. After embedding Xtracta’s self-learning AI into its pVault platform, manual data entry dropped 60–70% and OCR adoption among new clients soared from 5% to 70%.

  • Kaipara District Council

    Kaipara District Council’s eight-person finance team was transcribing 700–900 invoices a month into its Magiq ERP by hand, with a punishing June year-end spike. By integrating AI-powered Xtracta, the Council cut manual workload by roughly half, freed staff for higher-value work, and set itself up for eInvoicing.

  • Integrity1

    A major New Zealand healthcare provider had a payroll problem going back years. Manual timesheets, incomplete records, compliance risk. Integrity1 used Xtracta to digitise years worth of paper timesheets and extract the data needed to fix historical payroll issues. What would have taken months of manual work was done at scale.
