the need

Touchless AP for thin-margin construction

In construction, where margins are thin and supply chains complex, back-office efficiency matters as much as on-site competence. Integrating Xtracta into pVault unlocked the touchless potential of AP automation.

the CHALLENGE

The template trap

The legacy OCR product was expensive, slow to install and reliant on manual customisation. Its static templates broke whenever subcontractors changed invoice formats or addresses — so only 4–5% of clients would tolerate it.

Major groups now process 9,000+ invoices a month, and Auto IT onboards two to three new customers monthly.
