Why teams look beyond Scan Sys

Scan Sys ImageCapture is proven for teams with standardized suppliers and an existing setup, with a strong position in AFAS and industry-specific environments. The question usually appears when template and rule maintenance grows, or when an Exact Online-only team prefers modern AI coding that learns from corrections rather than fixed recognition profiles.

  • Test how much maintenance templates and recognition rules require with new or changing suppliers.
  • Ask which part of implementation, configuration, and integrations is billed separately.
  • Compare Exact Online depth on GL, VAT, and line-level matching, not just the integration itself.

Best Scan Sys alternative by situation

Choose Glimps when you use Exact Online only, want fixed pricing, and need 3-way matching without template maintenance. Choose TriFact365, Basecone, or Zenvoices when you support other accounting systems alongside Exact Online. Stay with Scan Sys or choose Blue10 when AFAS, multi-ERP coverage, or stock-driven order matching matter more than Exact Online depth.

Decision checklist

How do you choose the right alternative?

  • Do you use only Exact Online or multiple ERP systems?
  • Do you want fixed monthly costs or is per-invoice pricing acceptable?
  • Do you need 3-way matching with purchase orders and goods receipts?
  • Does the solution need to go live in minutes, or is a project implementation acceptable?
  • Who approves exceptions: finance, purchasing, warehouse, or budget owner?
