Reducing manual tasks in finance means automating approvals, reconciliations, entries, and notifications — freeing the team for analytical work instead of operational tasks. Jestor connects operational workflows directly to the ERP, eliminating the double-entry that consumes hours of finance teams.

## Why Finance Is One of the Areas Most Affected by Manual Processes

Finance teams receive requests from multiple departments, approve purchases, control payments, and close reports. When these flows come in by email and spreadsheet, rework is inevitable.

- Expense approvals arrive through different channels without any structure
- ERP entries require manual data entry after approval
- Financial reports are assembled by consolidating spreadsheets — a slow, error-prone process

## Finance Tasks That Can Be Automated

- **Expense approvals:** workflow with value-based tiers, automatic notifications, and approval history
- **Invoice reconciliation:** OCR reads invoices and automatically populates fields in the system
- **Expiration notifications:** automatic alerts for upcoming payment and contract deadlines
- **Consolidated reports:** dashboards that feed real-time data without manual spreadsheet consolidation
- **ERP integration:** approvals in Jestor automatically create records in Omie or Conta Azul

## Why Jestor Stands Out in Finance Automation

- Native OCR: submit an invoice and Jestor reads it and creates the entry automatically — no manual typing
- Native integration with Omie and Conta Azul — approvals in Jestor feed the ERP without middleware
- Automatic SLA alerts for pending approvals and upcoming contract expirations
- Approval workflows with value-based tiers configured visually, without code
- Financial dashboards with real-time KPIs for data-driven management

## FAQ

**Does Jestor integrate with financial ERPs?** Yes. Natively with Omie and Conta Azul. Via open API, it connects with any available ERP.

**How do you configure expiration alerts in Jestor?** Via native automations — define the date field and the lead time for the alert trigger.
