Aralab autonomous AP invoice agent (Twistag / Claude)

L3 · Conditional Verified · Production Manufacturing Accounting/Finance

Twistag built an autonomous AP agent for manufacturer Aralab that uses Claude to read varied supplier invoice PDFs and deterministic code to recalculate lines/tax against POs, processing 2,000+ invoices a month in about six weeks with one engineer and redirecting three finance FTEs from data entry (reported by Twistag)

Problem

Finance keyed 2,000+ differently formatted supplier invoice PDFs into the ERP each month; template OCR failed on layout variety (reported by Twistag)

Workflow

  1. Invoice PDF arrives
  2. Claude interprets the document; separate code recalculates line, tax and totals vs the PO
  3. Patternable ~80% flows without human touch; ~20% ambiguous cases hit a review dashboard with reasons
  4. LangFuse keeps decisions auditable; finance reviews exceptions

Human-in-the-loop: Finance reviews the ~20% exception queue; validators independently check LLM proposals.
