Glimps picks the invoice up itself, reads every line, codes it, matches it to the purchase order and posts it in Exact Online, per supplier as far as you allow. Vitacress Real processes about 750 invoices a month this way, 80 to 90% of them without manual work. Below are the six other alternatives, and for each one what Glimps does differently. Glimps wrote this article and is one of the vendors. Every fact about another tool comes from that tool's own website or documentation, checked on 24 September 2026, with the date the source itself shows. ## Where Scan & Recognize stops Exact's own Scan & Recognize is made to recognise an invoice and prepare it in Exact Online. For a handful of expense invoices a week that works fine. At hundreds of invoices a month the question changes. It is no longer about recognising, it is about handling: - **Does the invoice match what was ordered and received?** In trading and manufacturing you want invoice, purchase order and receipt side by side, line by line, within a tolerance you set. - **Who may post what?** You want to choose per supplier whether an invoice may go through by itself, and when a person needs to look. - **What stops a mistake?** A duplicate invoice or a changed bank account must stop a posting before it is in your books, not turn up at month end. - **Who keeps track of several administrations?** Every extra entity adds work, unless everything sits in one workspace. That is what a specialist on top of Exact Online is for. The seven alternatives below each do it their own way. ## The seven alternatives at a glance | Tool | What it does | Choose it if | | --- | --- | --- | | [Glimps](https://useglimps.com/en/automatisch-boeken-exact-online) | Picks invoices up itself, reads every line, codes, matches to the purchase order and posts in Exact Online by itself, per supplier as far as you allow | Exact Online is your accounting system and you want purchase invoices to handle themselves | | Basecone | Invoice processing from Wolters Kluwer, strong with accounting firms | Your accounting firm already works with Basecone | | TriFact365 | Scan and recognise that prepares a booking proposal for your accounting package | You manage administrations in different accounting packages | | Klippa (now Doxis) | Suite for invoices, expense claims, payment cards and spend management | You want expense claims and purchase invoices in one suite | | Zenvoices | Invoice processing for several accounting packages, part of Blinqx since August 2026 | You also use AFAS or Twinfield next to Exact Online | | WhiteVision | Document processor for invoices, order confirmations, packing slips and service orders | You want order confirmations and packing slips in the same system | | Blue10 | Invoice processing with booking templates and routes that you set up | You run another accounting package next to Exact Online | ## 1. Glimps: purchase invoices that post themselves in Exact Online Most tools on this list read an invoice and then put it on your desk. Glimps carries on to the posting. The Inbox Agent picks every invoice out of your Microsoft 365 mailbox, including the reminder with the invoice attached and the invoice buried in a mail thread. Glimps reads the header and every line, even from a supplier you never had before, and proposes GL account, VAT and cost centre per line from your own postings in Exact Online. Then Glimps puts invoice, purchase order and receipt side by side, line by line, within tolerances in euro and percent that you set. Then comes the part that makes Glimps different. A new supplier waits for you. A supplier with a clean track record is posted by Glimps itself, as soon as you accept a proposal for it. One correction moves that supplier back a step automatically. Eight fixed checks always stop a posting, for example on a possible duplicate invoice, a changed bank account, a sum that does not add up or an amount above your limit. When Glimps is not sure about a field, it stays empty. We leave the guessing to the casino. **In practice:** Vitacress Real processes about 750 purchase invoices a month with Glimps, from 317 suppliers. 80 to 90% of them reach Exact Online without manual work, and 944 of the 957 recorded PO matches were automatic (98.6%). [Read the full story](https://useglimps.com/en/klanten/vitacress-real), see the [reviews on G2](https://www.g2.com/products/glimps/reviews) or the listing in the [Exact App Store](https://www.exact.com/nl/app-store/glimps-glimps). **Getting started:** you connect Exact Online yourself, and your first invoice is processed within minutes. No demo needed, no set-up fee, cancel monthly. **Choose Glimps if** Exact Online is your accounting system and you want purchase invoices to process themselves: read, coded, matched and posted. ## 2. Basecone Basecone is the invoice processing product of Wolters Kluwer and works with several accounting packages. Many accounting firms use it for their clients. According to their own knowledge base (22 December 2025), Basecone posts automatically on conditions set in advance, which you create per customer or supplier with a document type and an amount. **The difference with Glimps:** at Glimps you do not set trust up, a supplier earns it. Glimps itself proposes to let a supplier with a clean track record post automatically, you accept or not, and one correction moves it back. [Glimps vs Basecone](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-basecone). **Choose Basecone if** your accounting firm already works with Basecone and you want to keep the processing there. ## 3. TriFact365 TriFact365 is a Dutch scan and recognise solution that prepares a booking proposal for your accounting package. According to their own blog (17 September 2026), you check the proposal and approve it, and only then is the journal entry created in Exact Online. **The difference with Glimps:** Glimps is built for the step after the proposal. For a supplier you trust, Glimps posts the invoice in Exact Online by itself and records why. A new supplier waits for you. [Glimps vs TriFact365](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-trifact365). **Choose TriFact365 if** you manage administrations in different accounting packages, such as AFAS, Twinfield or SnelStart next to Exact Online. ## 4. Klippa (now Doxis) Klippa SpendControl has been called Doxis SpendControl since 1 June 2026. It is a broad suite for invoice processing, expense claims, payment cards and spend management, with links to accounting and ERP systems as an add-on. In Klippa's own documentation (updated February 2025), the submitter checks all fields that recognition filled in, and then a finance user codes the invoice and clicks Save and post. **The difference with Glimps:** Glimps takes those steps itself. It picks the next step, carries it out in Exact Online and records why. The Exact Online connection is simply included. [Glimps vs Klippa](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-klippa). **Choose Klippa if** you want to manage expense claims, payment cards and purchase invoices together in one suite. ## 5. Zenvoices Zenvoices processes invoices for several accounting packages, including Exact Online, AFAS and Twinfield, and has been part of Blinqx since 31 August 2026. According to their own help article on line recognition (updated 28 May 2025), on the first posting you indicate once which GL account each line goes to. **The difference with Glimps:** Glimps needs no first time. It reads every invoice without templates or training per supplier, and proposes GL account, VAT and cost centre per line from your own posting history. [Glimps vs Zenvoices](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-zenvoices). **Choose Zenvoices if** your administrations sit in different accounting packages, such as AFAS or Twinfield next to Exact Online. ## 6. WhiteVision WhiteVision is a Dutch document processor for purchase invoices, order confirmations, packing slips and service orders. On their page about header and line recognition (updated July 2026), WhiteVision writes that you train the software by correcting missing or wrong data. According to their own FAQ (updated June 2026), an implementation has a lead time of 2 to 8 weeks. **The difference with Glimps:** nothing to train and no implementation project. You connect Exact Online and your mailbox yourself, and a few minutes later your first invoice is read and coded. [Glimps vs WhiteVision](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-whitevision). **Choose WhiteVision if** you want to process order confirmations, packing slips and service orders in one system next to invoices. ## 7. Blue10 Blue10 is an established name in invoice processing. In their own documentation (updated April 2026) you automate by setting things up: a booking template per supplier, and an auto route that carries out an action for you. Blue10 itself writes that you use an auto route only when an action must happen in every case. **The difference with Glimps:** Glimps looks again every time. There is no template to build, not even for supplier number 300, and eight checks stop a posting the moment something is off. [Glimps vs Blue10](https://useglimps.com/en/vergelijk/glimps-vs-blue10). **Choose Blue10 if** you run another accounting package next to Exact Online and want to process everything in one tool. ## How to choose Two questions almost always lead you to the right answer: 1. **Is Exact Online your only accounting package?** Then you want a tool that knows Exact Online down to the line: suppliers, GL accounts, cost centres, projects, purchase orders and receipts. If you run several packages side by side, a multi-package tool fits better. 2. **Do you want a proposal, or a posting?** A recognition tool prepares a proposal and you press post. Glimps posts by itself for the suppliers you trust, and stops itself when something is off. ## Conclusion Scan & Recognize is a fine start. As your volume grows, you want invoices to handle themselves, with you setting the limits. For companies that process their purchase invoices in Exact Online, Glimps is built for exactly that: from mailbox to posting, per supplier as far as you allow, and proven at Vitacress Real with 80 to 90% of invoices without manual work.
