Your Challenge without Continia Document Capture

Are you still using the traditional, manual method of document entry? If so, you are certainly still manually reconciling orders and receipts, need a lot of time to search for receipts in the archive and are annoyed by non-transparent approval processes. You have no central control or overview of what has already been entered or posted. Isn’t that annoying and time-consuming?

Many of our customers already benefit from automated document processing and a document management system (DMS). Professionalize your Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision) document management with us and the Continia add-on.

Discover Continia's Solution: Continia Document Capture

CPC badges_2025_Premium_Tech Blue

The add-on Document Capture from our trusted partner company Continia is certified for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Dynamics NAV/Navision) and seamlessly integrated into the ERP solution.

What functionality does the add-on offer? Pay attention: Document Capture automates the entire process of processing incoming invoices in Dynamics 365 Business Central – from capture to posting. Incoming invoices are received by email, then automatically read using OCR technology and compared with the existing master data. The system uses intelligent templates to reliably recognize suppliers and relevant invoice information. Approval processes run digitally via individually configurable workflows before the documents are posted directly in Dynamics 365 Business Central and archived in an audit-proof manner. This saves you time, avoids errors and gives you full transparency over your invoicing processes. Pretty handy, isn’t it?

  • Document origin

    Case 1: Printed documents
    When you rely on the document processing software, only one person needs to deal with scanning documents. It’s sufficient for this person to open the mail and then initiate a bulk scan of all new documents. The Continia Document Capture add-on detects when a document ends based on a barcode on the documents or – alternatively – a blank page between the documents.

    After that, the manual task ends. The document no longer needs to be manually circulated within the company.

    Case 2: PDF documents
    For documents received as email attachments (PDF), the process is even simpler. You forward these emails to a specific email address that you set up once. Alternatively, you can save all attachments in a specific folder.

  • Document recognition

    Document recognition is AI-supported by means of optical character recognition (OCR).

    For each document, the corresponding header (debtor or creditor) is recognized through the analysis. Additionally, a new document is created in Dynamics 365 Business Central. A new document could be, for example, a purchase invoice or a sales order.

    The recognition of creditors/debtors is done according to the defined standards of the Continia Document Capture add-on:

    • Name of debtors/creditors
    • VAT ID
    • IBAN of the bank account

    The remaining lines, apart from the header, can then either be entered automatically through document capture or manually by the respective employee.

  • Further processing

    You can conveniently continue working with your data in Dynamics 365 Business Central (e.g., purchasing process in the Accounts Payable application area). In some cases, automated document processing is also possible with Continia Document Capture. No system change – All in one.

    The approval workflow in Dynamics 365 Business Central is ideal for further processing by several people. For example, quality management can approve the document and financial accounting can post the document.

    After approval, the document is posted automatically. The PDF file is permanently linked to the posting record and archived in an audit-proof manner.

  • Digital archive

    Your digital archive contains all files that can be easily accessed via Dynamics 365 Business Central. You can even easily retrieve the original electronic document.

    The Continia Document Capture add-on’s document search is very powerful. You have a wide range of search options, as every word on the document is recognized.
