Business process automation for Canadian operations teams

Business process automation takes supplier invoices from Gmail, matches them to purchase orders and queues them in QuickBooks for approval. Nobody types invoices in by hand.

Invoice processing, employee onboarding and order sync without retyping

Supplier invoices matched to purchase orders

Invoices arriving in Gmail are read, matched to the purchase order line by line and checked for GST/HST. Our accounts payable automation queues each one in QuickBooks with the PDF attached.

Employee onboarding and order sync across your tools

We connect QuickBooks or Xero, Plooto, Gmail, Google Drive, BambooHR and Shopify. New hires get their accounts and documents on day 1, and the Shopify and QuickBooks integration keeps orders and books in step.

Payments wait for your approval

Before Plooto pays a supplier, the matched invoice posts to Slack with the amount, the purchase order and any difference between them. Your controller approves it there, and nothing is paid until they do.

Choose the model that reads your documents

Invoice reading can run on Gemini or Claude, and simple routing on a small, cheap model. For sensitive files, you can run a model you host yourself and switch providers later.

Every run on the record

Each invoice, onboarding and sync is logged with the inputs, the result and who approved it. When a run fails, we fix it and tell you what changed, and each month we tune model costs and add the next automation.
