Get the information out of your documents and into the work
We help organizations get out from under paper and manual work. For most of our clients, that means scanning years of records into files they can search, or automating accounts payable from the invoice to the vendor payment.

- Document management, scanning and AP automation

One place for every document your business runs on
If your records are still on paper, we scan and index them so anyone on your team can pull one up from their desk. If invoices still get keyed, routed and chased by hand, we automate that, from the inbox to the vendor payment. Either way, everything ends up in one document system your team can search.

Document scanning
Boxes, file rooms and oversized drawings turned into files your team can search.

Document management
One searchable home for your files, with control over who sees what and how long it's kept.

AP automation
Invoices captured, approved and posted to your ERP, with vendors paid by ACH, virtual card or check.
Practical AI for the work your team does every day
In each of these, the technology handles the repetitive part and your team still makes the decisions.
Reading and sorting incoming documents
Invoices and documents are identified as they arrive, key details are pulled out, and each one is sent to the right place, so nobody sorts the inbox by hand.
Checking invoices before anyone touches them
Invoice details are compared with purchase orders and vendor records. Only the mismatches go to a person.
Catching problems before payment
For construction AP, cost overruns and tax errors are flagged during review instead of after the check clears.
Making decades of paper searchable
Text recognition and consistent indexing turn boxes of records into files you can search by name, date or number.
Answering questions from your own documents
When records are organized and current, AI tools pull answers from the approved version of a document instead of an old copy.
Keeping records on schedule
Retention rules are applied as records come in, and records are flagged when they're due for destruction.
I reviewed 4,218 documents across Accounts Payable, Contracts and HR. 37 need attention:
Integrated with the platforms you rely on
Approved invoices post to your ERP, payment status comes back to accounting, and scanned records are filed in your document platform. That means less manual effort at every handoff.
ERP and project systems
Technology works better when someone understands your business
AI and automation take on the repetitive work, but every project starts with a conversation about how your team actually works. When you need help, you talk with people who know your system, not a ticket queue.

"DTI takes the time-consuming work of sorting our AP inbox and preparing invoices off our team's plate. We can focus on accounting instead of chasing portal links and splitting PDFs."

Common questions
Have a question that isn't here? Ask us.
How much does it cost to scan boxes of documents?
Most scanning projects are priced by the page or by the box. A standard records box typically holds between 2,250 and 2,500 pages. The bigger cost drivers are usually preparation (staples, folders, fragile or bound pages), how detailed the indexing needs to be, whether you need searchable text, and your deadline. Our Scanning Scope Worksheet gives you a planning range based on your own box counts.
Do we need a document management system, or is a shared drive enough?
A shared drive can work for a small team with simple files. It usually starts to break down when people can't tell which version is current, when some documents need restricted access, or when records have to be kept for a set period and then destroyed.
A document management system stores documents in one place, indexed so people can search by a name, date, account or project number, with controls over who sees what and how long each record is kept.
How much does AP automation cost?
Most of our AP automation is priced by annual invoice volume, in tiers, plus a one-time implementation fee. Where you land depends mostly on how many invoices you process in a year, how many approval paths and exceptions your process has, which ERP it connects to, and whether you want software only or software plus services such as invoice processing.
If you also automate vendor payments, card rebates can offset part of the cost, depending on how many of your vendors accept card. Tell us roughly how many invoices you process in a year, and we'll give you a range in the first conversation.
What is AP automation, and how does it work?
AP automation handles the routine steps between receiving an invoice and paying it: capturing invoice data, checking it against purchase orders and vendor records, routing it for coding and approval, posting it to your ERP and paying the vendor. Your team still makes the decisions and handles the exceptions. The software and services take on the typing, chasing and handoffs.
Once a document is scanned, can I shred the original?
Often, yes. Many business records can be kept digitally if the scans are complete, legible and stored reliably, and the IRS accepts electronic records that meet its requirements. Some legal, government and regulated records may need to be kept in original form for a set period, so confirm with your records officer or legal counsel before you destroy anything. DTI can hold your originals until you've reviewed the scans, then shred them securely.
