Invoices read and matched before entry
Supplier invoices are read, matched to the purchase order and supplier, and loaded into Oracle with a person checking anything unclear.

Connect Oracle Cloud ERP to the rest of your business.
Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP runs finance, procurement and often supply chain for large organizations. We build the connections and tools around it, so work that starts in email, spreadsheets or other systems reaches Oracle without being retyped.
Keep it, then extend it
What Oracle does well, and where teams outgrow it.
Where Oracle shines
- One record for financeLedgers, payables, receivables, assets and procurement share one set of data, so the numbers finance reports from are consistent.
- Supported ways in and outOracle publishes official connections for reading and updating records, template-based loads for large batches of data and bulk extracts for reporting.
- Quarterly updates, tested firstOracle applies its quarterly updates to your test environment about two weeks before production, so changes can be checked before they reach live work.
Where teams hit the limits
- Work starts outside OracleSupplier invoices, customer orders and expense details arrive as PDFs, emails and spreadsheets, and someone keys them into Oracle.
- Other departments run other systemsSales, operations, field teams and subsidiaries often work in their own tools, and the hand-off to finance is an export and an upload.
- Reports get rebuilt by handCombining Oracle numbers with data from other systems usually means exports, spreadsheets and a person who knows how the pieces fit.
What we build around it
Connecting Oracle to the rest of your work.
Orders and customers from your CRM
Won deals and new customers flow into Oracle so finance bills from the same data sales used.
Approvals in email or chat
Approvers act from Outlook, Teams or Slack, with the decision recorded against the Oracle transaction.
Supplier onboarding with checks
New supplier details, bank information and documents are collected, checked and set up in Oracle with an audit trail.
Subsidiaries and systems in step
Data from acquired companies, regional systems or industry tools reaches Oracle on a schedule instead of through manual uploads.
Reports across Oracle and other systems
Oracle finance data combined with operations, sales and HR numbers in one scheduled report.
Before we start
How access works.
Your Oracle administrator creates a dedicated account for the connection and gives it only the roles it needs, so it can read and change exactly what was agreed and nothing more. The connection can sign in through approved access set up in your Oracle identity service, which the admin can revoke at any time (see Oracle's guide). We build and test in your Oracle test environment first and check our work against each quarterly update while it sits in test, before it reaches production. Large loads go through Oracle's own import templates and bulk exports through Oracle's supported extract tools, so nothing puts unnecessary load on your live system. Running NetSuite instead? See our NetSuite page.

Invoices processed by hand
Invoices arrive by email, PDF and sometimes paper. Someone opens each one, types it into accounting, hunts for the purchase order and chases an approval. Month-end is a crunch every time.
Read moreA slow month-end close
The books close on the tenth, if things go well. The first week goes to exports, reconciliations and chasing explanations. Leaders get last month's numbers while they're already deciding next month.

The request went out on Monday. By Friday, nobody knows who has it. The person who needs to approve it never saw it, or forgot.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace Oracle?
No. Oracle stays your system of record for finance. We build around it and connect what it doesn't reach.
Will this break when Oracle updates each quarter?
Each update reaches your test environment about two weeks before production. We re-test our connections there during that window and add checks that alert us if something stops matching.
Do we need Oracle Integration Cloud for this?
No. We connect through Oracle's standard, supported methods. If you already use Oracle Integration Cloud, we can work within it where it fits.
Can you work alongside our Oracle implementation partner?
Yes. Your partner keeps owning Oracle setup and configuration. We focus on the systems and steps around it, and agree the hand-offs with them up front.
Are you a certified Oracle partner?
No. We're an independent integration consultant and development team. We build with Oracle's official developer tools and approved access, using the access your team grants, and we work alongside your Oracle admin or implementation partner rather than replacing them.
