AI-ASSISTED TRANSACTION DIGITIZATION

Keep the transaction digital, even when the document isn't.

SPICE Digital Document Service™ (DDS™) turns the PDFs, emails and spreadsheets trading partners still send into validated transactions. Each one joins the same procure-to-pay or order-to-cash process as your EDI and portal traffic, connected to the order it belongs to.

SPICE Digital Document Service™ (DDS™)

THE CHALLENGE

Every emailed document breaks the process you worked to automate.

You’ve invested in EDI and APIs, yet many trading partners still send orders, acknowledgements and invoices as PDFs and spreadsheets. Each one drops out of the automated flow and onto someone’s desk.

01

MANUAL ENTRY SLOWS EVERYTHING DOWN

Documents get typed in by hand, delaying orders, shipments and invoices and adding errors your EDI channel never sees.

02

TWO CHANNELS, TWO PROCESSES

EDI follows one workflow. Documents follow another, maintained separately by order management, customer service and AP.

03

STATUS DISAPPEARS IN THE INBOX

While a document sits in a queue, no one can see where the transaction stands, so the emails and calls start.

04

EXTRACTION ALONE ISN'T ENOUGH

OCR and document-AI tools pull fields from a page, then stop. Validation, context and the rest of the process are still yours to build.

WHAT SPICE DIGITAL DOCUMENT SERVICE™ DOES

Turn every document into a connected business transaction.

SPICE Digital Document Service™ is all about AI-assisted transaction digitization: it reads each document, validates the data against your master data, the original order and your business rules, and delivers an ERP-ready transaction linked to the right order. The document becomes a business event in the same P2P or O2C process as everything else. SPICE™ digitizes the process, not just the document.

Every document is matched to its order and validated before it reaches your ERP, so a PDF is handled like a transaction that arrived by EDI.

CORE FEATURES

Go from inbox to finished transaction.

DDS™ handles the whole path, so document-based trading partners follow the same rules as everyone else.

SPICE DIGITAL DOCUMENT SERVICE™ FEATUREWHAT IT DOES & HOW IT HELPS
Multi-Channel IntakeReceives PDFs, spreadsheets, CSVs and other files by email, SFTP and related channels, at any stage of P2P or O2C.
AI-Assisted ExtractionIdentifies each document and extracts its transaction data into a standard structure, so nothing needs rekeying.

Trading Partner ContextConfigured and trained for each trading partner’s documents, and tested before go-live.
Transaction MatchingLinks each acknowledgement, shipment notice or invoice to the order and lifecycle it belongs to.
Transformation & DeliveryConverts validated data into EDI, XML, IDoc, JSON or your required format and delivers it through AS2, SFTP, APIs or your B2B environment.
Exception HandlingRoutes documents that need correction or review through a controlled resolution process instead of an inbox.
Continued CollaborationStatus, changes, shipments and invoices continue in SPICE Trade™ or SPICE Web OMS™ on web and mobile.
SpicY™ AIBuilt in, not bolted on. SpicY™ reads each incoming document and extracts the details that matter, such as PO number, buyer, ship-to, items, quantities, prices and requested dates, then hands them to SPICE™ for validation and transformation. It runs inside the service. There’s no chatbot to learn.

HOW SPICE DIGITAL DOCUMENT SERVICE™ WORKS

Ingest, extract, validate, resolve, continue.

SPICE™ configures your business rules and trains DDS™ for each document-based trading partner. The service is designed to run without touch, with exceptions routed for controlled review. Your ERP stays the system of record throughout.

01

INGEST AND EXTRACT

A document arrives by email or another channel. SpicY™ identifies it and extracts its contents into structured data.

02

VALIDATE AND MATCH

DDS™ checks the data against your rules and masters and matches it to the correct order or invoice.

03

RESOLVE

Anything that doesn’t pass goes to a controlled review, not back into an inbox.

04

DELIVER AND CONTINUE

An ERP-ready transaction is delivered, and the trading partner continues in SPICE Trade™ or SPICE Web OMS™ with full status.
