Modern alternative to ReadSoft and Kofax for Business Central. AI-powered invoice processing with zero templates and 5-minute setup.
ReadSoft (now part of Kofax, owned by Tungsten Automation) has been a document capture leader for decades. Their enterprise-grade OCR platform handles high-volume invoice processing with configurable extraction rules. But the enterprise complexity comes at an enterprise price point.
Zentriq is designed specifically for Dynamics 365 BC. Native integration, BC-specific field mapping, and direct record creation.
No extraction rules to configure. AI understands invoice layouts automatically — even for suppliers you've never processed before.
Start free with 20 credits/month. Paid plans start at CHF 29/user/month — a fraction of enterprise OCR costs.
Zentriq includes PunchOut cart capture and an AI assistant. ReadSoft/Kofax only handles documents.
