The Challenge

The finance department wastes time when every document has to be processed manually

Manual document processing

Data is transcribed, approvals are sent via email, and documents are searched for in multiple locations, which increases processing costs and delays the closing of the period.

Invoices are awaiting approval

The document gets passed around between mailboxes and departments, which is why the payment obligation is entered into the system late, and the finance department loses track of the payment due date.

Expenses are returning without data

Employees submit receipts late or without a description, so the accounting department has to fill in the missing information, which delays the processing.

The bank's review is ongoing

Payments and statements are manually reconciled with accounting records, allowing the team to later identify discrepancies and open items.

How It Works

From document to posting in a single controlled process

Continia It captures data, applies rules, forwards exceptions to the appropriate people, and records the result in Business Central along with the decision history.

01

Capture

An invoice, receipt, or bank transaction is entered into the process without having to be manually re-entered.

02

Identify

The system reads the data and links it to a supplier, order, account, or employee.

03

Confirm

The document is routed to the appropriate person based on the amount, cost center, and rules.

04

Settle

Approved data is posted, paid, reconciled, and archived in the ERP system.

THE LOOP CLOSES WITH DATA
Pillars

Continia's two pillars: document automation and cash flow control

Document and Expense Automation

The data is fed into the process at the beginning, which allows the finance department to review exceptions rather than retype every document.

Document Capture
Data from the invoice is imported into Business Central without manual entry.
Order Matching
The document is compared with the purchase order and the receipt, and any discrepancies are forwarded to quality control.
Acceptance According to the Rules
The amount, cost center, or dimension determines the appropriate decision path.
Expense Reimbursement
An employee submits a receipt, mileage report, or per diem claim without a paper form.

Verification of Payments and Arrangements

A document, a decision, a payment, and an accounting entry together form a single process and provide an up-to-date view of liabilities.

Controlled payments
Approved obligations are transferred to the payment process in Business Central.
Bank Reconciliation
The system matches the statements to the records, and the finance department analyzes the unrecognized items.
Archives and Audits
The source document, approvals, and accounting entry form a single history.
Exception Handling
The team focuses on differences rather than repeating standard procedures.

What Is " Continia " for Business Central?

Payments and Banking

Auditing and Archiving

Take a look inside

Where does " Continia " have the greatest impact?

Automation provides the greatest value when the number of documents, approvers, entities, or banking transactions exceeds the capacity of a manual process.

Obligations and Purchases
Invoices are processed, matched to purchase orders, forwarded for approval, and archived along with the corresponding entry in the ERP system.
Employee Expenses
An employee submits a receipt, mileage report, or per diem claim via a mobile app, and the finance department receives a complete set of data and a controlled approval process.
Payments and Arrangements
Bank data, payments, and accounting entries are consolidated in Business Central, which reduces the need to manually search for discrepancies.

FOR WHOM

For companies where the volume of documents is growing faster than the team

  • The accounting department processes hundreds or thousands of invoices, and each one must be manually entered, described, and sent for approval.
  • Employees report their expenses outside of Business Central, which means the finance department has to track down receipts, descriptions, and approvals.
  • Payments, statements, and reconciliations take many hours, and the accounts payable balance is not up to date until the process is manually closed.
How We Implement

Continia 's implementation begins with financial rules

Process Audit

We measure document volume, processing time, data sources, approval workflows, exceptions, banks, and the Business Central configuration.

Setup and Pilot Program

We launch selected modules, map data, rules, and approvals, and test the process using actual invoices and transactions.

Optimization and Scale

We are increasing the proportion of automatic matches, limiting exceptions, and expanding the process to include additional companies, banks, and user groups.
