Hi, I’m Jaime, the guy behind Jaime Automates. I solve business problems with automation, saving you time and money. Today, I’m sharing how I used UiPath to build a bot that automates invoice processing by extracting data from PDF invoices and submitting it to a Google Form, perfect for IT teams and small businesses looking to streamline data entry.
Why Automate Invoice Processing?
Many IT teams and small businesses handle invoices manually, extracting data like Invoice Number and Amount from PDFs and entering it into systems for record-keeping. This process can take hours each month. My InvoiceProcessingBot automates this task, saving you 2–5 hours per month. For a business paying $50/hour for labor, that’s $1,200–$3,000/year in savings, minimum.
Using UiPath Studio (Community Edition), I built a bot that:
- Reads a PDF invoice file (e.g., extracting Invoice Number: INV123, Amount: $5,000).
- Submits the extracted data to a Google Form for centralized record-keeping.
I tested it with a sample invoice PDF containing 3 invoices. The bot extracted the data and submitted it to a Google Form in under a minute, with all entries correctly logged in the form’s responses. It’s a practical solution for automating repetitive data entry tasks.
