In short: Ananke Digital builds a done-for-you AI invoice and document reader: you upload PDF or scanned invoices, delivery notes or claim forms and get a clean Excel or Google Sheet back with the fields you choose. It suits logistics and clearing & forwarding firms, clinics, distributors and any team that re-types documents by hand. Setup starts from KSh 150,000 in Kenya or US$2,500 internationally, it is delivered in days once the written scope is signed, and you can see it work on one of your own files in a 15-minute demo.

Stop typing invoices by hand

Staff in logistics, clearing and forwarding, clinics and distributors still re-type supplier invoices and delivery notes into spreadsheets. It is slow, error-prone and eats evenings. An AI invoice and document reader pulls the fields you need into a clean sheet so your team can check and move on.

We do not sell a waitlist or a generic SaaS login. You order, we build it on your documents, brand it with your logo, and hand it over working.

Who this is for

  • Logistics and clearing & forwarding — invoices, bills of lading, delivery notes and packing lists into one sheet.
  • Clinics and pharmacies — supplier invoices and claim forms into finance-ready rows.
  • Distributors and wholesalers — high volumes of PDF invoices from many suppliers, standardised columns every time.

What you get

  • Upload to spreadsheet. PDF (and common image) invoices, delivery notes or claim forms in; a clean Excel or Google Sheet out.
  • Your fields, your rules. Supplier, dates, line items, totals, tax, currency and any custom columns you need.
  • Your branding. Client logo and naming on the sheet and the handover pack.
  • Live demo on your files. On a 15-minute call we run the reader on one of your own documents so you see the output before you buy.
  • You own the system. Source, prompts, mappings and documentation are yours after handover.
  • Written data agreement. Client documents are handled under a short written data agreement; we only keep what the job needs.

FAQ

Do I need to send all my invoices before the call?

No. One or two real samples on the demo call is enough. Full samples come after you approve the written scope.

Can it handle messy scans?

Yes for common cases. We test on your worst samples during the build and flag anything that still needs a human check.

Is my data safe?

Client documents are handled under a written data agreement. We only keep what the job needs, and you can revoke access at handover.

Do you work outside Kenya?

Yes. Builds are remote, with prices in KSh for Kenya and US dollars internationally.

More questions customers ask

How much does AI invoice data extraction cost?

With Ananke Digital, setup starts from KSh 150,000 in Kenya or US$2,500 for international clients, with larger multi-document builds up to KSh 400,000 or US$10,000. Monthly care is optional and quoted per client. Third-party AI or storage usage is billed separately unless included in the scope.

How long does it take to set up?

Usually days once the written scope is approved. We agree the document types and fields first, build on your samples, then test your messiest files before handover.

How accurate is AI invoice extraction?

It depends on scan quality and how varied your layouts are. We test on your worst samples during the build and flag low-confidence fields for a person to check. We do not promise 100% accuracy, and you should not trust anyone who does.

Can it read scanned or photographed invoices, not just PDFs?

Yes for common cases, including scans and phone photos of reasonable quality. Anything that still needs a human check is flagged.

Can it feed QuickBooks, Xero, Sage or Odoo?

The standard output is Excel or Google Sheets. If you need a CSV in your accounting software's import format, or a direct connection, we agree it in the written scope.

Is this a subscription software product?

No. It is a done-for-you build on your own documents. You own it after handover, and monthly care is optional.
