To improve your ReadSoft solution, you must have clear insights into the Invoice-to-pay process, be able to analyze the data, and make objective decisions. Process Mining can help you maximizing efficiency and reduce the number of ‘touches’.
Today, ReadSoft is the most chosen capture solution worldwide. The software is aimed at automatic scanning, recognition, and processing of invoices. After capturing and recognizing the invoice information, ReadSoft sends the data to the workflow or ERP system. The system can then further process the data itself. The solution helps to reduce most of the manual work.
Unfortunately, users can encounter several issues and complexities in the process. At most companies, further adequate optimization is required to reduce the number of ‘touches,’ increase efficiency and improve the automation rate. That is why clear information about the business, processes, users, and system is necessary to develop a business case, detect low hanging fruit and deliver efficient solutions.

We developed the Plug and Mine package to discover, monitor, and improve the different activities. This is done by extracting data from ReadSoft Invoices and the SAP environment of Process Director. The connector is deployable with ease and was developed to ‘Plug and play’ on your ReadSoft environment.

Our Process Mining Approach
How to start optimizing with Process Mining? The process improvement funnel reflects our approach. A process mining assessment and optimization project starts with an assessment phase where we discover the full process, ‘slice and dice’ the data, check KPI’s and gain actionable insights. Before we automate, we first eliminate “waste”, standardize and optimize processes.
