Project description

Our project tackles the challenge of integrating AI within PowerApps to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of existing business systems and workflows. The primary objective is to develop functional and aesthetically pleasing PowerApps that support business aspects such as finance, specifically through an invoice processing application.

The key research question is: How can AI be leveraged to automate and optimize invoice processing within business applications to reduce manual intervention and increase accuracy?

For 20 weeks, we explored AI's potential in automating the tedious task of manually marking invoices. Our solution aims to streamline this process, reducing the need for manual input and significantly improving processing efficiency and accuracy. This project is crucial for Tingk's clients and partners, providing them with more streamlined and efficient AI applications, ultimately enhancing their operational workflows and reducing the burden of repetitive tasks.

Context

Our project is focused on business process optimization within the financial sector, specifically targeting invoice processing efficiency through AI integration in PowerApps. Tingk specializes in intelligent low-code solutions, automating processes to reduce repetitive tasks and enhance employee productivity.

This project leverages Tingk's expertise to develop an AI-powered application for automatic invoice processing. The application aims to recognize, process, and book invoices with minimal manual intervention, significantly increasing efficiency and accuracy.

The project's context involves exploring AI's potential in various business scenarios, primarily benefiting Tingk's clients and partners, from small startups to large corporations, who seek to optimize their financial operations. By addressing the challenges of manual invoice processing, we aim to deliver a practical solution that boosts productivity and operational efficiency. This aligns with Tingk's mission to drive digital transformation and innovation through advanced AI applications, enhancing overall business workflows.

Results

Our project has resulted in the development of an AI-driven invoice processing application within PowerApps. This application automates the process of recognizing, processing, and booking invoices with minimal manual intervention. The key outcomes are significant improvements in efficiency and accuracy in invoice processing, leading to time savings and reduced human errors.

Throughout the project, we conducted various validation steps to ensure the functionality and value of the application. We used an iterative development process, regularly receiving feedback from stakeholders and users. This led to continuous improvements and adjustments based on their input.

The value of our application is confirmed by the improved processing capacity and the ability to automate repetitive tasks. This results in a directly measurable impact on the operational efficiency of users, enabling them to focus on more strategic activities within their organization.

Additionally, our application offers a scalable solution that can be easily adapted and extended to meet the specific needs of different companies. This makes it a valuable tool for organizations striving for digital transformation and optimization of their business processes through AI.

About the project group

Our project group consists of two members: myself, a semester 7 student, and Thomas, a semester 4 student. Thomas worked approximately two days per week on this project, while I worked four days per week.

We both have a focus on organizational processes and share a passion for optimizing and automating these processes. We spent a total of twenty weeks on this project.

During this period, we collaborated to combine our knowledge and skills, allowing us to adopt an efficient and goal-oriented approach to the project.
