Capture and reading
Every document understood before a single field is read.
Bills arrive by your AP mailbox, by upload or from another AI tool by MCP. Cortex types every page, splits bundles, checks the scan, classifies the document, and only then reads each field with where it sat on the page.

Each document goes to the one agent whose function it is: PO match, contract bills, usage bills, non-PO bills or supplier setup.
What gets checked
Invoice capture and reading, check by check.
| Step | How | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Page types | Every page typed: invoice, proof of delivery, usage report, statement | Bundles are split before anything is read |
| Scan quality | Resolution, skew and ink coverage | A poor scan goes to a person, not to a guess |
| Classification | Document type and workstream, gated at 0.80 confidence | Below the gate, a person decides |
| Fields | Every value with its box on the page and its confidence | A person checks an unclear field on the scan itself |
| Duplicates | Vendor, number and amount | Stopped before anyone looks |
On its own, and what waits
Runs through within its level. Conflicts wait for a person.
An agent with a level acts on its own within that level’s dollar limit; without one, every step waits. Anything that conflicts or falls outside a guardrail always waits, and each decision teaches the next run.
What it does
Types every page and splits bundles. Reads every field with its box and confidence. Stops duplicates. Routes each document to its agent.
What it holds
Classification below 0.80 confidence. A required field it cannot read. A scan too poor to trust.
Your tolerances, sites, units and rules are your own: set for your contracts, not fitted to a template.
FAQ
Questions buyers ask about invoice capture and reading.
Who reads our documents?
Models running in Ferrata's own AWS account: Amazon Bedrock for understanding and Amazon Textract for positions and confidence. Your documents are not used to train models for anyone else.
Can vendors send bills any way they like?
Yes: your AP mailbox, an upload, the supplier room, or another AI tool by MCP. Each arrives at the same intake.
