FAQ

Does it work on scanned POs?

Yes. OCR runs automatically when the PDF has no text layer.

Can I match POs to incoming invoices?

Yes. The PO and invoice schemas share `vendor_name` and line-item shape, which is enough to two-way match in your ERP.

How is this priced?

Extraction is priced per page. The free tier covers the first 100 pages.
