Documents in, clean data out.

Invoices, purchase orders, forms and contracts arrive as PDFs, scans and email attachments, and someone types them in. We automate the reading, check the results against rules you set, and send anything uncertain to a person before it lands in your systems.

Sound familiar?

Signs this is costing you time every week.

  • Someone spends hours a week typing invoices into the accounting system.
  • Every supplier's PDF looks different, so templates keep breaking.
  • Scanned forms pile up because nobody has time to enter them.
  • Mistakes in entered data are found weeks later, by the customer.

The same problem looks a little different in each kind of business.

Accounting and bookkeeping

Invoices, receipts and statements into the ledger.

How we work

You describe it. We write it down, build it, and hand it over.

  1. You describe it

    Tell us what you need in your own words, and which tools you already use. A few lines is plenty to start.

  2. A written scope

    We reply with a short written scope: what gets built, what is out of scope, which accounts we need, and how we'll both know it works. You know what you're getting before work begins.

  3. Milestones you review

    The work is split into milestones. At each one you see it working in your own account and sign it off before we go on.

  4. Handover and a 30-day fix window

    You get the working system, its documentation and a walkthrough. If anything we built breaks in the next 30 days, we fix it at no charge.

Pushbuild has built software for businesses since 2010, for more than 40 clients. Every project is led by a former public-company CTO, from Groton, Massachusetts. See products we've built.

Questions people ask first

How accurate is it?

We measure it on your own sample documents before handover and report the result. Anything below a confidence level you choose goes to a person to check.

Do our documents leave our systems?

Only to the services named in the scope. Where documents are sensitive, we agree in writing where they are processed and stored.

What about handwriting and poor scans?

Often workable. We test on your worst samples first and tell you what to expect.

Tell us what you need built.

Email a few lines about the problem and the tools you use, or call. We reply with questions or a written scope.
