Reading your paperwork
Your paperwork arrives as paper. Blitz reads it the day it lands.
A purchase order reaches you as a photo on WhatsApp or a PDF in an email. An invoice reaches your accounts as a printout. Somebody retypes both, a week later, if they get to it. Blitz reads them, fills the form, and waits for you to press save.
A phone photo is enough. JPG, PNG or PDF, up to 10 MB.
You check it. Nothing is saved until you press save.
Why it matters
Your June costing was wrong because the bill arrived in July.
Every cost per unit rests on a rate, and every rate comes off a piece of paper. If that paper sits in a folder for three weeks before anyone types it, then for three weeks your costing quietly runs on last month's rate — and every quote you give in that window is built on it.
Call it stale-rate costing. It is the most common reason an owner's cost per unit is confidently wrong, and it is not a maths problem. It is a data-entry backlog. Reading the bill the day it arrives is what closes it.
From a real factory, not a demo
354 invoices, read and saved.
These are the actual figures from our own floor between May and July 2026 — the factory Blitz was built in, and the one it still runs.
Number and date
Accepted without correction on every single invoice.
Invoice total
Matched the extraction. Four needed a correction before saving.
Purchase orders
Of the POs on file, created by reading the document rather than typing it.
The switchover is visible in the data
76 invoices were typed by hand in March. 88 in April. From June onward, nearly every invoice arrived through the scanner instead. Nobody was told to change how they worked — the slow way simply stopped being worth it.
What comes back filled in
Two documents, both read the same way.
A customer's purchase order
PO number and date, the buyer, the full delivery address including GSTIN, amendment number and remark, the payment, delivery, freight, transport and despatch terms, special instructions, and a row per line item carrying HSN, quantity, unit, rate and GST%.
A Tally GST invoice
Invoice number and date, customer and GSTIN, separate Bill-To and Ship-To blocks, every line with HSN, quantity, rate and the CGST/SGST/IGST split, plus taxable value, round-off, grand total, amount in words and payment terms.
The uploaded file and the raw extraction are both kept against the record, so any figure on a report can be traced back to the document it came off. That trail is what makes the number arguable in the way an accountant needs.
Where this goes next
The chain of custody behind your cost per unit.
Reading paper is not the point. Reading it in time is. This is the link between the document at your gate and the number you quote from.
The bill arrives
A supplier bill at the gate, a customer PO on WhatsApp. Photographed, read, checked, saved — today, not in three weeks.
The rate lands live
That bill sets what your raw material actually cost this week. It goes straight into the same stock pool your machines draw from.
Cost per unit is current
Measured output from the machine, priced at this week's real rate, plus energy, labour and overhead. Not last month's guess.
This is the half of true cost per unit that nobody demos — the machine side is measured by sensors, and this is how the money side stays as current as the machine side. See all four kinds of AI in Blitz, or the full feature set.
Reading your paperwork, answered.
Do I still have to check every extraction?
The form is built for it — nothing is written to your records until you press save. That matters more in a factory than in an accounting package. In accounts, a wrong figure is a wrong ledger line somebody eventually spots. In a factory, a wrong rate silently becomes a wrong cost per unit and a wrong quote on every job after it.
How accurate is it?
Across 354 GST invoices scanned on our own floor between May and July 2026, the invoice number and date were accepted without correction on all 354, and the total matched on all but four.
What can I upload?
JPG, PNG or PDF. A phone photo of a purchase order works — it does not need to be a clean scan.
How quickly does it pay off?
Immediately, because the rate on today’s bill is the rate your costing uses today. The gap between paper arriving and the figure reaching your system is where cost per unit goes wrong, and that gap closes on the first document you put through.
