AutoEntry getting the job done?
There’s a better way.
AutoEntry by Sage uses older OCR technology. Zerentry’s AI reads documents like a human — faster, more accurate, and with full line item support.
Why accountants are leaving AutoEntry
Slow processing times
AutoEntry queues documents for hours during busy periods. Your team waits instead of working.
Template-dependent accuracy
AutoEntry relies on templates to recognise layouts. New vendors or unusual formats mean manual corrections.
Limited document type support
Invoices and receipts only. Bank statements, credit notes, and purchase orders require separate tools or manual entry.
Sage-ecosystem lock-in
Since the Sage acquisition, AutoEntry has become tightly coupled to Sage products. Switching costs grow every month.
The Zerentry difference
AI-first OCR (no templates)
Zerentry uses Mistral AI to understand documents contextually — no templates to train, no rules to configure.
99%+ extraction accuracy
AI-powered extraction matches the precision of a trained accountant, even on low-quality scans and unusual layouts.
Full line items & tables
Every line item is captured with description, quantity, unit price, tax, and account code — not just header totals.
Bank statements included
Upload bank statements and Zerentry extracts every transaction with debit/credit amounts and account codes.
Semantic document search
Find any document by meaning, not just keywords. Ask "invoices from suppliers in London over 5k" and get instant results.
Works with Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho
Push extracted data to Xero, QuickBooks or Zoho Books in one click. No ecosystem lock-in, ever.
