Invoices read themselves. You read the paper.
Forward the email, snap a photo, upload a PDF. Every supplier, every format, every line read in about eight seconds — with price creep flagged the second it lands.

From delivery door to dish cost in three steps you'll forget are happening.
Capture
Give suppliers your Pinch inbox address (something like invoices+yourkitchen-k3x9q@getpinch.co.uk). Or snap paper in the app. Or drag a PDF. Whatever turns up.
Read & check
Every line is extracted, unit-normalised (kg, case, each) and matched to your PO and price list. Anything off gets a yellow flag, not a silent pass.
File & re-cost
Invoices that add up file themselves; anything Pinch is unsure of waits for a quick check. Costs update and every dish using those products is re-costed on the spot.
Catch the 6p creep before it's a £6k problem.
Suppliers rarely announce price rises. Pinch compares every line to what you last paid and tells you the moment something moves — with what it does to your dish margins.
Billed for ten, delivered eight? You'll know that day.
Order through Pinch and each invoice is checked against the PO and what you booked in: short deliveries, extras and prices that moved off the agreed one, each named against its line — not found as shrinkage at month end.

Invoice questions, answered.
Which suppliers does it work with?
Any of them — Brakes, Bidfood, Fresh Direct, Reynolds, your local butcher. Pinch reads the invoice itself rather than a per-supplier template, so a new supplier works from their first invoice.
What about handwritten delivery notes?
If it's legible, yes. Any line Pinch isn't sure of is flagged for a quick check rather than guessed.
Do I have to approve every invoice?
No. Pick "File them for me" in Settings and invoices that add up are filed straight away — you check new products after. Prefer to look first? "Let me check first" holds anything the AI is unsure about until you've seen it.
Can my bookkeeper have access?
Yes, at no extra cost — invite them to your team from Settings and they can see your invoices and the original PDFs.
Does it post to Xero or QuickBooks?
Not yet. Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent sync is in build — the integrations page has where each one stands.
