Lido automates three-way match from document intake through exception routing.
Vendor invoices and PO copies arrive as PDFs via email, shared drive, or fax-to-email. Lido picks them up from a watched folder or inbox automatically.
Lido pulls vendor name, invoice number, date, payment terms, line items, and totals from each invoice and PO. Scanned and native PDFs handled in the same batch.
Invoices are compared against your open PO register with fuzzy matching. Vendor names are normalized, PO numbers matched with format tolerance, amounts compared at line and total level.
If an invoice amount differs from the PO authorization, the discrepancy is flagged with the source documents, matched PO line, and variance amount. AP sees exactly what is wrong.
Invoices within your configured tolerance auto-approve and push to your payment queue or ERP. Discrepant invoices go to a review queue with full match context visible.
Upload a batch and get structured output in minutes.
Any vendor invoice layout, itemized or summary, scanned or native PDF. Lido reads header fields and line-item tables.
Internal POs and vendor-facing copies. Extract vendor, line items, quantities, unit prices, and PO total from any layout.
Warehouse receiving slips and delivery confirmations. Used for true three-way match: invoice vs. PO vs. what was received.
Monthly vendor account statements listing open invoices and payment history. Reconcile against your AP ledger and matched POs.
Standing purchase orders with periodic call-off invoices. Lido tracks cumulative amounts against the blanket PO authorization.
Vendor credit notes reducing the net amount on a matched invoice. Lido links credits to original invoices and adjusts the net payable.

Set up PO-to-invoice matching in Lido and let your team focus on the 10% of invoices that actually need attention.
A mid-size manufacturer receives 600 supplier invoices per month across 80 vendors. Raw material invoices are matched to line items on blanket POs, catching unit price deviations and quantity overages before the $2.1M monthly payment run.
A wholesale distributor pays 15 carriers weekly. Freight invoices are matched to the approved rate confirmation sheets issued at shipment time. Accessorial charges not on the rate confirmation are flagged automatically before the carrier is paid.
A consulting firm issues POs against statement-of-work agreements for contractors and software vendors. Invoices referencing the SOW PO are matched to ensure billed hours and deliverables align with approved scope and rates before payment.
A holding company with 6 subsidiaries shares vendors across entities. Lido matches invoices to POs within the correct entity, catches cross-entity billing errors, and routes each matched invoice to the right subsidiary AP queue for payment.
