Startup Idea: Automated Invoice Processing Application
I work for an IT department for a company of around 500 employees. We have certain functions of our job that are repetitive and could be automated, since there are only three of us in IT. One of these issues is when a yard places a retail order for items for their store, we have to manually upload them. The process involves this:
Download invoice from website. Rename invoice to match invoice number. Run invoice through a program. Copy and paste text saying upload was successful to help desk ticket.
It would be nice to automate the whole process, maybe enter an invoice number and have a program scrape, download, and upload the file in one shot. I looked into various programming languages to solve this problem, but it is beyond my capabilities at the moment.
