For SaaS platforms supporting AP workflows, one of the most time-consuming pain points is manual invoice entry. But what if invoices could populate themselves? Thanks to the growing use of QR codes on invoices, that’s now a reality.

Modern QR-coded invoices embed all the key information your platform needs: vendor details, invoice number, tax IDs, and total amount. With SimplyParse, you can instantly scan and extract this data — whether from a PDF or a photo of a printed invoice — and feed it directly into your AP or ERP systems.

Why QR Code Invoice Parsing Matters

Digitally generated invoices are increasingly being issued with QR codes that contain structured data. When scanned, these codes yield:

Vendor and buyer tax IDs (e.g., GSTIN, VAT)
Invoice number and date
Invoice total amount
Unique invoice reference (IRN or code)

ERP platforms using SimplyParse can integrate this functionality into their AP modules. A single scan auto-populates these fields — no manual typing, no OCR errors. The result? Cleaner data, faster processing, and happier users.

Plug Into ERP & AP Systems Without Friction

SimplyParse provides ready-to-integrate APIs that let you push extracted invoice data directly into ERPs, accounting tools, or approval workflows.

Platforms like NetSuite, Stripe and Pazy already highlight the benefits of automating invoice capture: fewer errors, shorter payment cycles, and massive time savings for AP teams. With SimplyParse, you get the same benefits without building from scratch.
