LayerX's "Bakuraku Invoice Reception" and Invoice Inc. Begin Integration

Invoice Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hitoshi Nitami) is pleased to announce that it has begun integration with "Bakuraku Invoice Reception," a cloud-based invoice reception software provided by LayerX Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yoshinori Fukushima), whose mission is to "Digitize all economic activities."

This integration will enable companies with multiple locations to centralize communication and utility bills (electricity, gas, water) that are individually received at each store or branch, using "Gi Tsushin" and "OneVoice Koyu." By linking the accounting and payment data to "Bakuraku Invoice Reception," it becomes possible to automatically generate accurate accounting and payment data for each branch and department, which was previously done manually.

This automates the entire process, from the cumbersome collection of invoices to payment, and the creation of accounting entries and payment data at the itemized level, thereby improving operational efficiency for accounting and general affairs departments.

Background of the Integration

Companies with multiple locations generate a large volume of monthly bills for communication and utility costs from different suppliers for each store or branch. After receiving these invoices, accounting departments need to verify various details from the breakdown information, such as "apportionment to departments based on phone number," "account classification based on service," and "understanding of usage."

Consequently, these complex invoices, with their intricate information, could not be adequately handled by simply digitizing them with general invoice reception systems, leaving behind detailed manual work and visual checks in the accounting department.

Therefore, by combining the strengths of our consolidated billing service with LayerX's "Bakuraku Invoice Reception," which promotes the automation of accounting tasks through advanced AI technology, we aim to fundamentally streamline the complex billing processes specific to communication and utility costs. This integration was initiated to support the creation of an environment where accounting and general affairs personnel can focus on higher value-added tasks.

Overview of the Integration

"Gi Tsushin" and "OneVoice Koyu" are services that receive communication and utility bills sent individually on behalf of customers and consolidate them into a single invoice.

"Bakuraku Invoice Reception" is a cloud-based invoice reception software that achieves zero manual data entry for invoice processing through its invoice-specific AI-OCR and seamless integration with accounting software.

In this integration, by simply importing the detailed breakdown and accounting information digitized by "Gi Tsushin," "OneVoice Koyu" (and the "OneVoicePalette" platform for streamlining accounting operations), into "Bakuraku Invoice Reception," the system's high-precision automated processing functions are maximized. This automatically generates optimal accounting and payment data, incorporating apportionment by store/branch and detailed account classification based on service names.

By combining both services, it becomes possible to seamlessly perform tasks from invoice consolidation to the creation of departmental accounting entries on a per-branch basis.
