The Problem

Manual Invoice Processing is Breaking Your Team

Hundreds of invoices arrive every month. Each one needs to be opened, read, typed into the system, assigned a category, matched to a property, and approved. The process is slow, error-prone, and drains your most expensive resource: staff time.

30 minutes per invoice Staff manually type vendor, amount, category, property for every single invoice
Misclassification risk Wrong category means wrong Service Charge allocation, wrong tenant charges, potential compliance failures
Settlement crunch 300 invoices arrive unevenly; June settlement deadline creates a panic
No anomaly detection Duplicate invoices and unusual amounts go unnoticed until audit

Capabilities

Built for Property Management Invoices

Not a generic OCR tool. UnitCycle understands operating cost categories, vendor patterns, and Service Charge compliance.

Smart OCR + AI Extraction

Reads any PDF, scanned image, or forwarded email. Extracts all relevant fields regardless of invoice format, layout, or language.

Operating Cost Categorization

Maps to all operating cost categories (cleaning, utilities, insurance, repairs, admin, lift, landscaping, etc.) used in Service Charge settlement.

Anomaly Detection

Flags duplicate invoices (same vendor + amount within 30 days), outlier amounts (>2x vendor average), and unrecognized vendors.

Approval Workflow

Auto-approved below threshold, manager approval above. Full audit trail. GL code assignment. Every action logged for compliance.

Settlement Integration

All categorized invoices flow directly into the Service Charge settlement module. Year-end draft generated in one click.

Learning Model

Corrections improve future accuracy. Per-property and per-vendor learning ensures the system gets smarter with every invoice processed.
