Transforming Accounts Payable: Umango and M-Files Collaboration

In today's ever-changing business landscape, optimising accounts payable processes remains a top priority for organisations seeking efficiency and accuracy. 

Umango emerges as a game-changing solution, serving as the seamless on-ramp to capture and process information into various back-end systems. For businesses utilising M-Files, document management platform, and in search of a streamlined solution for their Accounts Payable, Umango's batch scanning application is the answer you've been looking for.

In this article, we explore the powerful synergy between Umango and M-Files, shedding light on how this dynamic duo effectively addresses the challenges associated with scanning and importing invoices.

The Challenge

Traditionally, the process of scanning and importing files into business systems has been a cumbersome and error-prone endeavour. Handling one document at a time and relying on manual data entry leaves ample room for inaccuracies, a risk that intensifies when dealing with invoices. Matching orders, line items, and totals against the original paperwork becomes a delicate dance, elevating the potential for errors.

The Solution

Umango steps in as a game-changing solution, offering a streamlined approach to detect information from scanned and imported files. Users are prompted for data clean-up when necessary, ensuring a higher level of accuracy in the process. 

The recent update to the M-Files connector takes this collaboration to new heights, allowing Umango to extract data from invoices and separate line items for easy matching within M-Files.

Key Features

Bulk Scanning

Umango facilitates the bulk scanning of documents, leveraging the full speed of the scanner. This not only expedites the process but also ensures the efficient separation of individual documents based on the information gathered.

AI Improving Accuracy

Versatile Import Options: Files can be seamlessly imported from various sources, including folders, web browsers, or email addresses. This flexibility empowers businesses to adapt to diverse workflows, catering to their specific needs.

Effortless Setup

A major boon for small and medium-sized businesses, Umango takes mere minutes to set up. Its user-friendly interface ensures a quick and hassle-free integration into existing systems.

Real-time Validation

The touch screen of the Multi-function Printer becomes a validation hub, providing users with real-time feedback on the accuracy of the captured data. This feature not only enhances confidence in the process but also minimises the need for post-processing corrections.


The collaboration between Umango and M-Files emerges as a beacon of hope for businesses seeking an end-to-end accounts payable solution. By addressing the challenges inherent in traditional scanning and data entry processes, this synergy empowers organisations with a seamless, accurate, and efficient method for handling invoices. In a world where time is money, Umango and M-Files prove to be invaluable assets for those looking to elevate their accounts payable game.
