AI Powered Solution

Arcanum AI has set up Momentum with their AI Finance Assistant called Archie.

Secure Automation with Workato

By leveraging Workato’s secure connection capabilities, we have enabled Momentum to have Archie integrated into the workflows and systems that they are already using. This means that there is no big change programme before realizing business value, as well as confidence that data is kept secure.

Arcanum has helped Momentum to integrate ‘out of the box’ AI  assistant Archie to automate their AP workflow by automatically processing new invoices as they arrive into the team’s outlook inbox, then adding it into their Xero draft bills list including line item GST, account coding and requesting new supplier approval from a human colleague when needed. The human in the loop is key for approving the draft bills.

“We believe the value and potential of using AI technology is that it can leverage the exceptional human capabilities we have and find for clients.  Archie has already added additional security functions spotting a fraudulent invoice in seconds. Archie is a powerful solution to enhance our offerings, increase our capacity, and support our business goals. We want to lead the way for others in the industry, and this is why we wanted to work with Arcanum to implement this innovative solution”
