Invoice and order data
Glimps extracts line-level data from the invoice, order confirmation, and purchase order.
Smart Comparison

Variance Handling
When prices or quantities don't match perfectly, Glimps applies your business rules automatically.
Line-Level Precision

Matching FAQs
Common questions about automated order matching and 3-way matching.
Yes. Glimps detects partial deliveries and matches the invoice against the received quantity, leaving the PO open for the remainder.
Yes. If a vendor sends one invoice for multiple orders, Glimps identifies and matches lines to the correct respective POs.
Our AI uses semantic matching (fuzzy logic) to understand that "Laptop Stand" on the invoice equals "Notebook Riser" on the PO.
Yes. For services or items where no goods receipt is needed, we match directly Invoice to PO.
Order processing is raising and tracking the order itself; that stays in Exact Online. Order matching is the check that follows: Glimps compares the order confirmation, the purchase order, the goods receipt and the invoice against each other, and only posts when all four agree at line level.
Yes. A supplier's order confirmation is read in and compared straight against the purchase order, so price and quantity differences surface before the invoice even arrives. When the invoice does arrive, it is matched against the same lines.
