Introduction

Finance teams and project leads struggle to track margins accurately because supplier invoices lack the necessary analytical tags. Manual mapping by project or cost center is slow, error-prone, and non-scalable.

Phacet automates supplier transaction labeling using intelligent matching and line-by-line categorization, enabling project-level margin analysis in real time with full traceability.

When to use this Phacet

Perfect for CFOs, financial controllers or operations leads who want to:

• Tag supplier costs by project, product, or business unit

• Split invoice lines across multiple analytical dimensions

• Automate margin tracking without changing their accounting stack

AI skills involved

Smart Categorization

Automatically classify your transactions, entries and documents

Phacet assigns categories, analytical codes or custom labels to your data - based on your rules, your chart of accounts, or patterns it learns from your history. Bank transactions, supplier invoices, expense lines: everything is classified consistently, at scale.

Human Review & Approval

Route exceptions to the right person and track every decision

Phacet doesn't decide edge cases alone. It routes ambiguous results to the right person with full context - original document, matched data, confidence score. Your team validates, corrects or rejects. Every decision is logged. The AI learns from each correction and gets more accurate over time.

Data Standardization

Normalize formats, names and amounts across all your sources

Every tool exports differently - dates in three formats, amounts with commas or dots, supplier names in inconsistent casing, currencies without symbols. Phacet normalizes everything before processing so every comparison is accurate, regardless of where the data came from.
