Comparison

Glimps vs Scan Sys: nothing to set up, Glimps posts your purchase invoices itself

Most invoice software does the groundwork: reading, a proposal, and then the invoice waits for you. Glimps does the work itself. It picks the invoice up from your mailbox, reads every line, codes and matches it and posts it to Exact Online, per supplier as far as you allow. When something is off, Glimps stops itself and explains why. You connect today, forward your first invoice and a few minutes later you see what Glimps did with it.

The short answer

Do you want purchase invoices to handle themselves, without first setting something up per invoice type? Then Glimps is the logical choice. Glimps picks up every invoice by itself, codes it per line from your own history, matches it against order and receipt and posts it to Exact Online by itself once that supplier has earned your trust. Eight checks stop a posting the moment something is off. You start on your own today and your first invoice is processed within minutes, without a demo, a quote or an implementation project.

Under the hood

Where the difference shows up in practice

Glimps does the work, not just the groundwork

An invoice that has been read is not yet posted. Glimps goes all the way. The Inbox Agent takes every invoice out of your Microsoft 365 mailbox by itself, including the reminder with the invoice attached. Glimps reads every line, picks GL account, VAT code and cost centre from what you posted before, lays the lines next to your purchase order and receipt and posts the invoice to Exact Online. It can do that because Glimps is built only for Exact Online: suppliers, journals, projects, orders and receipts come straight out of it. And the audit trail records why Glimps took every step.

Nothing to set up once

On their current invoice page, Scan Sys writes that you do not need to build a template per supplier. Their own blog from January 2025 describes that for recurring invoices such as lease bills, ImageCapture is set up once for how they should be posted, and that for one-off invoices you draw a frame around the amounts to create booking lines. With Glimps you set up nothing, not per supplier and not per invoice type. Glimps learns from what you posted before and leaves a field empty when it is unsure, instead of posting a guess.

Posting by itself, and knowing when to stop

A new supplier is prepared by Glimps and waits for you. A supplier with a clean track record, an invoice that fully matches the purchase order or an invoice covered by an approved contract, Glimps posts by itself. A supplier only moves up when you accept a proposal to do so, and one correction moves it back down automatically. Eight checks always stop a posting, whatever the level: a possible duplicate invoice, a changed bank account, arithmetic that does not add up, an amount above your limit. Glimps never pays and never raises its own level.

Start today, without a quote

At Scan Sys you start with a demo request and get a price through a quote. At Glimps you connect Exact Online in a few clicks and forward your first invoice. A few minutes later it is read and coded. The cost is simply on the site: 75 euro for 100 invoices, 149 for 300, 399 for 1,000. You do not have to call anyone to see if it works. You just see it.

Open the demo

Their current invoice page says that at Scan Sys you do not need to build a template per supplier. Their own blog of 21 January 2025 does describe that for recurring invoices you set up once how they should be posted, and that for one-off invoices you draw a frame around the amounts. With Glimps you set up nothing, not per supplier and not per invoice type. Glimps picks the invoice up from your mailbox by itself, codes every line from your own history, matches it and posts it to Exact Online, per supplier as far as you allow. When something is off, Glimps stops itself and explains why.

Yes, per supplier and as far as you allow. A new supplier is prepared by Glimps and waits for you, a supplier you trust Glimps posts by itself. There are three routes to that: a clean track record for that supplier, an invoice that fully matches the purchase order within your tolerance, or an approved contract that covers the invoice. A supplier only moves up through a proposal you accept, and one correction moves it back down automatically.

When Glimps is unsure about a field, it leaves that field empty instead of guessing. A possible duplicate invoice, a duplicate check that is unavailable, a changed bank account or arithmetic that does not add up stop the posting. An amount above your limit, a supplier that was silent for twelve months, a credit note or a currency that differs from before limit how far Glimps goes by itself. While a check is open Glimps does not post, and Glimps never pays.

Today. You connect Exact Online yourself, forward your first invoice and within a few minutes you see what Glimps did with it. No demo, no quote, no implementation project and no implementation fee. Start straight away with the invoices you find difficult, such as one with many lines or a credit note, because that is the best test.

Scan Sys does not publish prices: you request a demo or a quote. Glimps puts every price on the site: Starter 75 euro per month for 100 invoices, Professional 149 euro for 300 and Business 399 euro for 1,000. PO matching and the contract register are add-ons at 149 euro per month. You cancel monthly and pay no implementation fee.

Yes. Scan Sys lists integrations on its own site with AFAS, Exact Globe and Exact Online, among others. Glimps is built only for Exact Online and goes deep because of that: suppliers, GL accounts, VAT codes, cost centres, projects and journals per administration come straight from Exact Online. Glimps also fetches purchase orders and receipts from there by itself.

Through the Inbox Agent. You connect your Microsoft 365 mailbox once, and from then on every invoice lands in Glimps by itself: also the reminder with the invoice attached, forwarded mail and invoices somewhere inside a mail thread. If you first want to see what it would pick up, you start in look-only mode. The Inbox Agent is on every plan, and if you use another mail system, your administration has its own invoice address.

Yes. Glimps lays every invoice line next to the purchase order and the receipt, and those come straight from Exact Online. You set tolerances separately in euro and in percent. PO matching is an add-on at 149 euro per month on Professional and Business.

Glimps does not pass your data to a model provider to train general models with it. Glimps also does not learn across customers: what you correct stays within your own account and only improves your own processing. And when you ask something through Claude or ChatGPT, the MCP server can only read, never change or post anything.

Yes. Posted invoices and their PDF live in Exact Online, so you lose nothing. And you can easily let Glimps run next to Scan Sys for a while, until you see for yourself that it works.
