Why teams switch to Pulsify
I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the program's document reading capability. It even manages to split out a Coles receipt line by line with the correct GST application on each item!

Pulsify Customer
This is the 4th solution I have used for uploading receipts and it is much better than all the others. Being able to scroll, zoom and grab a receipt in the window and move it about for review is very user friendly. The interface is very clean and avoids all the noise that other solutions pack into a page.

Have used Dext before and this was much easier to get up and running. Instant line-item splits and AI coding, super clean interface, and the duplicate detection/ABN verification is robust.

Pulsify saves hours each week by auto-coding line items and flagging issues like duplicates, GST errors, and mismatches before bills hit the ledger.

Pulsify has made a huge difference to how we manage accounts payable in our construction business. With high invoice volumes, multiple suppliers, and complex bills across projects, AP used to be slow and error-prone. Pulsify's AI-driven automation has brought clarity and control to the process, significantly reducing manual work and improving accuracy.

We implemented Pulsify on recommendation and it has been our biggest win this year so far. Setup was magically simple and both the itemisation and process automation have really delivered. Much better than our previous use of Hubdoc + manual processes

I have tried many different AP processing apps for SMEs I have been involved with and this one is by far the most straightforward solution I have come across that doesn't require complex upfront set up. Sign up and go. Highly recommend

I need this for import and shipping costs which have all sorts of GST, non-GST, part GST requirements, so Pulsify solves the complications of finding this and breaking it down at the end of each quarter for the accountant. Having previously used Dext, getting this detail was an extra expense and assigning costs was much more work.

Pulsify has given me the confidence I needed and has helped reclaim a significant amount of my time, which will be crucial as we continue to scale our operations.

Really love they extract payment data from the bills and reconcile them to my Xero database. Gives me peace of mind that my invoices are secure.

How Pulsify works
Step 1
Connect your email inbox
Connect your Outlook or Gmail inbox and supplier invoices come straight in. Or forward them to your Pulsify address. PDFs, scans and photos all work.
Step 2
AI codes every line as it reads it
Upload or email an invoice and Pulsify extracts every line item and assigns the account code, GST treatment, and cost centre in the same pass, from your supplier history. Not just the amounts, the full coding, on every plan.
Step 3
Bank details and ABNs validated automatically
BSBs and account numbers are checked against historical records. ABNs are verified against the Australian Business Register. Duplicates are caught before approval.
Step 4
Unlimited approval steps with sequential, parallel, and conditional routing
Branch by amount or supplier. No cap on the number of steps. Approvers see a fully coded, validated invoice.
Step 5
Fully coded invoices sync to Xero or MYOB
Line items, codes, GST, and supplier details push directly to your ledger. No re-keying, no export/import.
