How Vantage Works

📥 Ingest Documents Seamlessly — Collect invoices, statements, and supporting files from email, scanners, network folders, or supplier portals without manual sorting.
🧠 Understand and Extract Data with AI — Leverage pre-trained AI skills to classify content, capture key fields, and validate accuracy before it reaches your SAP workflow.
🚀 Deliver Structured Data into SAP — Integrate directly with SAP ECC and S/4HANA to enable straight-through posting, approvals, and financial visibility.
