Dext captures the data but we're still clicking approve on every invoice like nothing happened.
Document capture platform
Dext automation, built for Australian finance teams.
Rich capture and extraction, but underused across practice portfolios. The automation opportunity is the per-client configuration work, and separating the exceptions that matter from the 90 per cent that do not.

Context
Why Dext matters for mid-market finance.
Dext (formerly ReceiptBank) is the leading document capture platform for Australian accounting practices and SME finance teams, with richer extraction and deeper integration than Hubdoc. That extra capability is also what makes it underused: most deployments run on defaults, repeat the same configuration work for every new client, and leave finance leads reviewing every captured bill instead of only the outliers. In a practice with 40 clients on Dext, multiply every hour of repeated configuration by 40 to see the real cost. In a direct SME deployment, the cost is finance seniors spending their day clicking approve on bills that should have posted themselves.
Dext is the ledger. The hours live in the gaps between Dext and everything else in your stack. The job is to close those gaps, not to replace Dext.
Where the hours go
The four signals that Dext is costing you more than it should.
Our practice has 40 clients on Dext. Every one needs the same configuration work and we do it from scratch each time.
Dext tells me 500 supplier bills came in this month. I have no idea which 50 are actually outliers that need my attention.
We've never used Dext's payment run export, so AP still runs through a separate ABA generation step in the bank portal.

Ordron-style automation typically captures $79,500 of that per year. On a typical $10,000 project, payback lands at roughly 7 weeks.
The approach
How Ordron automates on Dext.
Dext has solid API coverage, so Ordron builds API-first on top. For practices running across many client files, the biggest lift is eliminating the configuration that gets repeated for every new client onboarding, and the second biggest is isolating the cross-client exceptions that need practice attention. For direct SME users, the lift is intelligent exception handling so the finance lead is only looking at things that actually need attention, plus closing the loop into payment runs and compliance reporting.
Database-first
Every transaction, contact and tracking category writes to a structured Azure-hosted database you own. The platform stays the ledger; your data is never vendor-locked.
Automation layer
OCR, coding models, matching rules and approval workflows run next to the platform, tuned to your chart of accounts and approval thresholds.
Control Panel
Your team logs into one interface to review exceptions, see throughput, and audit every automated action, with a named owner for every exception path.
