HiFlow Solutions Introduces AI-Powered Invoice Processing for Packaging Manufacturers

HiFlow Solutions, a packaging-specific ERP/MIS/MES platform purpose-built for label converters, flexible packaging, folding carton, and corrugated manufacturers, announced the availability of an AI-powered invoice processing module within the HiFlow platform.

“The Accounts Payable Association’s 2026 Industry Benchmarking Report confirms what packaging manufacturers already experience — nearly two-thirds of AP functions still rely heavily on manual invoice processing, and only 6.4% have achieved same-day processing. The report identifies AI-assisted invoice capture as one of the highest-impact opportunities in the entire AP workflow.  HiFlow's new AI-powered invoice processing module is designed to help reduce that burden by automatically extracting and preparing invoice data for processing within the HiFlow ERP platform.”

— Mariusz Sosnowski, CEO, HiFlow Solutions

The new module helps reduce manual invoice entry by capturing data from PDF invoices received via email and populating key invoice fields within the HiFlow ERP system, including line items, quantities, amounts, purchase order numbers, and vendor information. Prepared invoice data then moves into HiFlow's standard Accounts Payable workflow for matching, approval routing, and posting.

From Email Inbox to AP Workflow

When an invoice arrives by email, HiFlow's AI module captures the attached PDF and automatically extracts relevant invoice information. Key data fields are then populated within the HiFlow ERP system, creating a prepared invoice record ready for processing.

From there, the invoice follows HiFlow's standard Accounts Payable workflow, including purchase order matching, approval routing, and posting according to each company's established business rules and procedures.

By automating invoice data extraction and entry at intake, the module helps reduce repetitive administrative work while supporting a more efficient AP process.

Benefits for Packaging Manufacturers

• Fewer hours spent on manual invoice data entry
• Faster invoice preparation and intake processing
• More consistent data capture across all incoming invoices
• AP staff redirected to exception resolution and strategic priorities

The AI additions in the Accounts Payable module represent the latest milestone in HiFlow's expanding portfolio of AI-powered automation tools, part of HiFlow's broader AI strategy focused on embedded operational automation across packaging manufacturing workflows. Recent AI innovations within the HiFlow platform include advanced capabilities in Estimating, Price List Management, Order Processing, and Inbound Materials Receiving.

Together, these capabilities help automate document-intensive workflows throughout the packaging manufacturing enterprise, reducing manual administrative effort while improving operational visibility.
