AI Delivered a Fully Automated Invoice Solution in Under 1 Hour

When a client asked if Eric knew a programmer to automate invoices, he delivered a step-by-step AI solution that stunned the IT team.

Introduction

Eric LeRiche, a Vice President at Decimus AI, is passionate about using AI to streamline business processes and deliver fast results. So when one of his clients asked if he knew a programmer who could help automate invoices in Sage, an accounting system, Eric saw an opportunity to take things a step further. Instead of just pointing them to a programmer, Eric used AI to create a step-by-step automation solution himself—in under one hour. The best part? The client’s IT team implemented the solution in just 30 minutes, leaving the client both surprised and impressed.

Challenges

The client was facing a tedious manual invoicing process and needed a solution that would:

• Automate invoices within their Sage accounting system.
• Automatically deduct inventory after each invoice was processed.
• Eliminate manual input errors and reduce the time spent on bookkeeping.

The client didn’t expect Eric to solve the problem directly; instead, they asked if he knew a programmer who could handle it. But Eric saw this as an opportunity to push the boundaries of what AI could do.

The AI Breakthrough

Rather than referring the client to a programmer, Eric leveraged AI to develop a fully automated invoice solution himself. In less than one hour, AI helped him:

• Map out the automation steps for integrating invoicing with the Sage system.
• Create a clear, step-by-step guide that the client’s IT team could follow to implement the solution.
• Test and fine-tune the automation to ensure it worked seamlessly, deducting inventory with each processed invoice.

When Eric delivered the solution, the client’s IT team implemented it in just 30 minutes—a process that would have required hours of coding otherwise.

Remarkable Progress

The results were eye-opening for both Eric and his client:

• Complete solution in under an hour: What could have taken days of back-and-forth with a programmer was delivered in record time.
• Minimal implementation time: The client’s IT team was able to follow Eric’s AI-generated step-by-step solution and have it up and running in just 30 minutes.
• Client satisfaction: The client was floored—not only did Eric save them time and money by eliminating the need for a programmer, but he also provided an easy-to-implement solution.

The automation now runs smoothly, handling invoicing and inventory deduction without any manual intervention, freeing up valuable time for the client’s staff.

“They asked me for a programmer, and I delivered something even better—an AI-driven solution that saved them hours of work.”

A Defining Moment

For Eric, this project highlighted the untapped potential of AI in transforming business processes. When the client’s IT team implemented the solution, they couldn’t believe how quickly it all came together. What began as a simple inquiry—“Do you know a programmer?”—became a moment of awe when Eric delivered a working solution they hadn’t expected.

This experience deepened Eric’s conviction that AI isn’t just a tool for speeding up tasks; it’s a game-changer that can solve complex problems without requiring specialized technical expertise.

Broader Impact

This experience was just the beginning for Eric and his client. Having seen what AI could do in such a short time, they began to explore additional areas for automation within their business. For Eric, it was clear that they had only scratched the surface of how AI could make everyday processes faster and more efficient.

As a passionate advocate for AI transformation, Eric believes this project is just one example of how AI can revolutionize business operations—eliminating the need for expensive outside consultants and allowing companies to take control of their own processes.

Eric’s Perspective

Reflecting on the project, Eric shared, “The client’s reaction said it all. They asked me for a programmer, and I delivered something even better—an AI-driven solution that saved them hours of work. It really shows how we haven’t even scratched the surface of what AI can do to make our lives easier and our businesses more efficient.”

Conclusion

Eric LeRiche’s story demonstrates how AI can not only solve complex problems but also bypass the need for expensive, time-consuming programming work. By using AI to create a fully automated invoice solution in less than an hour, Eric helped his client save both time and money. This case study shows the potential of AI to transform business processes and highlights the untapped opportunities for further automation.
