Powering Smarter Invoice Recognition: Yeeflow + Azure Document Intelligence
In today’s fast-paced business world, speed, accuracy, and automation are everything. At Yeeflow, we’re constantly exploring ways to push the boundaries of intelligent automation. That’s why we’re excited to share how our platform integrates with Azure Document Intelligence to power next-level invoice recognition — a smart solution built for real-world complexity.
What Is Yeeflow?
Yeeflow is a powerful no-code platform for building business applications and automating workflows. From procurement to HR, finance to IT — Yeeflow empowers enterprises to design, deploy, and manage workflows and data apps, without writing a single line of code.
What Is Azure Document Intelligence?
Azure Document Intelligence, developed by Microsoft, offers a suite of cognitive services that bring artificial intelligence capabilities like vision, speech, language, and decision-making into your applications. One of its most impactful tools for enterprise operations is Azure Document Intelligence (formerly known as Form Recognizer), which uses pre-trained AI models to extract structured data from documents such as invoices, receipts, and contracts.
The Power of Integration: Yeeflow + Azure Document Intelligence
When these two platforms join forces, the results are transformative. With Yeeflow’s workflow engine and Azure’s intelligent document processing, companies can automatically extract, validate, and route invoice data — reducing manual input, minimizing human error, and accelerating financial operations.
This dual-strength integration brings:
- End-to-end automation from document upload to approval.
- AI-powered data extraction from scanned or PDF invoices.
- Custom workflow orchestration tailored to business rules.
- Real-time validation and approvals with audit trail tracking.
Introducing: Invoice Recognition with Azure Document Intelligence
One of the key use cases we’ve implemented is Invoice Recognition.
Here’s how it works:
- A user uploads an invoice to Yeeflow.
- Yeeflow calls Azure Document Intelligence’s pre-trained invoice model.
- The model extracts key fields: invoice number, vendor name, amount, date, etc.
- Yeeflow parses the response, validates against internal business rules (e.g. duplicate detection, vendor matching).
- Based on conditions, Yeeflow routes the invoice for approval or flags it for manual review.
All of this happens in seconds — a task that might otherwise take hours of human effort.
Challenges We Faced — and How We Solved Them
As with any real-world AI implementation, there were hurdles:
- Document Diversity: Invoices come in all shapes and formats. Some are scanned images, others are system-generated PDFs with various layouts.
👉 Solution: We used Azure’s prebuilt models for standardization and added fallback logic in Yeeflow to handle layout inconsistencies.
- Field Accuracy: Certain invoices contained less-than-clear line items or irregular formatting that led to incorrect data extraction.
👉 Solution: Yeeflow implemented a validation layer using lookup tables and fuzzy matching to improve accuracy and catch anomalies.
- Language and Currency Variations: For multi-national companies, invoices may be in different languages or currencies.
👉 Solution: Yeeflow integrates with translation APIs and regional formatting logic to standardize outputs before processing.
Why Yeeflow Is Built Differently
Instead of choosing between power and simplicity, Yeeflow combines both.
Built on Microsoft Azure Document Intelligence, Yeeflow brings enterprise-grade OCR and invoice models to a no-code interface, so your team can:
- Automatically extract invoice data using Azure AI
- Design approval workflows without writing code
- Integrate with SAP, SharePoint, or email effortlessly
- Operate securely on a scalable, cloud-native platform
- Empower business users to own and manage the process
Yeeflow makes invoice automation accessible—without sacrificing intelligence.
