# Adjinvoice

*/Startups/Adjinvoice*

## Startup Overview

This accounts payable engine automatically verifies incoming vendor invoices by cross-referencing individual line items against contracted rates and actual delivery receipts. Instead of relying on human data entry or basic document scanning, the system parses complex billing documents to ensure every charge matches a pre-negotiated agreement and a confirmed shipment.

Traditional workflows rely on manual accounting teams or generalized software like Bill.com and Coupa Invoice, which require continuous human intervention to route approvals and catch overcharges. This system eliminates that manual triage through fully autonomous routing, instantly directing flagged invoices to the correct department without administrative bottlenecks. The commercial model directly aligns with financial recovery, charging strictly on an outcome-priced basis per resolved discrepancy rather than standard user licenses.

## Startup Founding Hypothesis

**Approach**: that cross-references line items against contracted rates and delivery receipts
**Competitors**:
- [Manual AP Teams](/Competitors/Manual_AP_Teams)
- [Bill.com](/Competitors/Bill.com)
- [Coupa Invoice](/Competitors/Coupa_Invoice)
**Differentiator2x2**: outcome-priced per resolved discrepancy and fully autonomous in its routing

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Aiming to catch 100% of line-item rate discrepancies against active vendor contracts.
- Targeting a 75% reduction in manual vendor dispute follow-ups for mid-market AP teams.
- Designed to autonomously resolve routine receipt mismatches without human intervention.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Reconciliation · Price: ~$10–$25 per resolved discrepancy · Inclusions: Autonomous 3-way matching of invoice line items against purchase orders and delivery receipts, plus automated vendor routing for corrections.
- Name: Enterprise Volume · Price: ~$4–$12 per resolved discrepancy · Inclusions: Includes complex multi-contract rate lookups, volume discount verification, and configurable ERP routing rules for high-volume AP teams.
**Guarantee**: Adjinvoice guarantees strict adherence to your uploaded contracts; if an approved invoice overpays a contracted rate due to our matching engine, we refund the resolution fee for that invoice and credit the difference.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Objection: The system might auto-reject invoices for minor rounding errors. Rebuttal: You configure the exact dollar or percentage tolerance thresholds before an invoice is flagged as a discrepancy.
- Objection: Our vendor contracts have highly customized, dynamic volume tiers. Rebuttal: Adjinvoice is built to ingest custom contract structures and map dynamic pricing rules before performing line-item checks.
- Objection: Vendors will get frustrated arguing with an AI. Rebuttal: Every routed discrepancy includes a clear, cited side-by-side comparison of the invoice line, the specific contract clause, and the delivery receipt for transparent vendor review.

## Startup Proof Points

_Illustrative — target and order-of-magnitude estimate figures, not an achieved track record (this Thing is concept-stage)._

**Pilot Goals**:
- 30-day historical audit pilot: Run Adjinvoice against 90 days of past invoices from a high-volume vendor to identify missed overpayments and validate the multi-contract rate lookup engine.
- 60-day live deployment: Process all incoming invoices for a specific supplier category to demonstrate autonomous resolution of routine receipt mismatches without AP intervention.
**Target Metrics**:
- Target: 100% identification of line-item rate discrepancies against active vendor contracts
- Aim: 75% reduction in manual vendor dispute follow-up communications
- Target: <24-hour average resolution cycle for routine delivery receipt mismatches
- Aim: 0% auto-rejection rate for minor rounding errors within configured tolerance thresholds
**Target Case Studies**:
- Mid-market logistics firm AP Director: Replacing manual spreadsheet-based invoice approvals with autonomous 3-way matching to catch rate discrepancies on high-volume delivery receipts.
- Regional retail chain Procurement VP: Enforcing complex, multi-contract volume discount tiers automatically across thousands of monthly vendor invoices without adding AP headcount.
- Manufacturing enterprise Controller: Deploying automated vendor routing with cited contract comparisons to resolve routine parts mismatches without vendor frustration.
**Testimonial Targets**:
- Accounts Payable Manager: Relief that the system manages complex multi-contract rate lookups and dynamic volume tiers autonomously, eliminating manual spreadsheet tracking.
- CFO: Confidence in the side-by-side contract citations that enforce strict vendor compliance while maintaining transparent and objective supplier relationships.
- Vendor Billing Coordinator: Appreciation for receiving clear, specific discrepancy notices with exact contract clause citations rather than vague rejection notices.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: Legacy ERPs and procurement systems restrict or frequently break API access, preventing the system from pulling the contracted rates and delivery receipts required for cross-referencing. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: B2B finance teams reject the outcome-based pricing model due to unpredictable monthly budgeting, forcing a pivot to standard SaaS tiers. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: high · Description: High false-positive rates in discrepancy detection force AP teams to manually review flagged invoices, neutralizing the autonomous routing value proposition. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: moderate · Description: Suppliers refuse to accept automated short-pays generated by the autonomous routing system, requiring manual buyer intervention to preserve vendor relationships. · Mitigation Status: in-progress

## Startup Story Brand

**Hero**:
- **Need**: to be the guardian of company capital instead of a clerical investigator
- **Want**: to pay every vendor invoice at the exact contracted line-item rate
- **Identity**: the accounts payable manager at a mid-market enterprise
**Plan**:
- Step: Upload contracts · Detail: Provide your vendor agreements and pricing tiers to establish the definitive source of truth.
- Step: Inspect discrepancies · Detail: Review the side-by-side comparison of invoice errors, contract clauses, and receipt logs in your dashboard.
- Step: Approve routing · Detail: Direct the system to automatically return incorrect invoices to vendors for adjustment with cited proof.
**Guide**:
- **Empathy**: When you spot a rate mismatch after the payment run, you have to spend hours chasing credits that should have never been billed.
**Problem**:
- **Villain**: line-item leakage
- **External**: Manually cross-referencing Bill.com approvals against PDF contracts and delivery receipts results in consistent overpayment on bulk orders.
- **Internal**: You feel like you are bleeding company cash because you lack the time to audit every row.
- **Philosophical**: Vendor contracts were built for legal protection, not for hiding unearned revenue in unverified invoices.
**Success**: Every invoice matches your contract terms exactly, and your AP team only touches the most complex edge cases while the system handles the rest.
**One Liner**: Every month, AP managers lose thousands to invoice rate errors. Adjinvoice automates 3-way matching against contracts so you only pay for what you actually received at the agreed price.
**Positioning**:
- **So That**: eliminate line-item overpayments through automated contract enforcement
- **Unlike**: manual reconciliation and Coupa Invoice
- **For Whom**: mid-market AP managers
- **Category**: Autonomous Invoice Reconciliation Software
**Call To Action**:
- **Direct**: Resolve first discrepancy
- **Transitional**: View sample audit report
**Failure Stakes**:
- Unchecked overpayments compounding monthly
- Strained vendor relationships from manual disputes
- Audit failures due to missing documentation
**Transformation**:
- **To**: enforcing contract compliance instead of chasing credits
- **From**: a clerk verifying rates in Coupa manually
**Controlling Idea**: Financial accuracy requires autonomous contract enforcement, not just faster manual processing.
