A vendor invoice inside Fireworks: the lines read off the PDF, one already matched to the shop's own Brass Watering Can by SKU, with the cost and the retail price shown
One PDF, every line found in the shop's own catalog. Nothing is written to Square until she approves it.

What you get back

Not a file to clean up. The three things you were about to spend the evening producing.

Your items, already found

Every line is looked up in your Square catalog, so a product you have bought before is matched without you touching it. What you decide about the rest is remembered, so the same vendor's next invoice is mostly done before you open it.

What you paid, attached

Quantity, SKU, pack size and unit cost come off the invoice and stay on the item. Your margin stops being a number you typed once and becomes a record of what this product has actually cost you, delivery after delivery.

Counts you can trust

When the boxes land you enter what actually turned up, including anything short or damaged, and Square updates from that number rather than from what the invoice promised. No reconciling later.

Why not just use OCR?

Because OCR stops where the work starts. It hands you the words off the page, and you are still the one deciding which of them is a product name, which is a quantity, which is a cost, and which rows are subtotal and tax. Then you build a CSV in the shape Square wants, and you do it again next month in a different shape for a different vendor.

And even then the CSV has your vendor's words in it, not yours. A row reading STONEWARE PLNTR 8IN SAGE still has to become the item you already sell, or a new one, and no spreadsheet can make that call for you. Fireworks reads the document as an invoice and carries it the whole way, to a list of your own products waiting for a yes.

$79 a month. Every invoice.

One price, however many invoices you send and however many lines are on them. No charge per purchase order, no per-document fee and no line caps, so you never stop to work out whether a small delivery is worth putting through.

Questions

How is this different from OCR software?
OCR hands back the words on the page and stops. Fireworks reads the document as an invoice, so what comes back is already lines with quantities, costs and SKUs on them, then keeps going: each line is looked up in your own Square catalog and handed to you as a list to approve. There is no CSV anywhere in it.
What does it cost?
$79 a month for everything, with a 14-day free trial and no card to start. Unlimited invoices, no charge per purchase order, no line caps, and it works on any Square plan including the free one.
Does it work from a photo of a paper invoice?
Yes. Photograph it on the counter and send that. A PDF or a CSV works too, whichever your vendor sends.
Will it change my Square catalog without asking?
No. You see every line and approve it. Nothing reaches your Square catalog until you push it, and a line you do not want can be left out of the order entirely.
Do I need Square Plus or Premium?
No. Fireworks works with every Square plan, including the free one.
What do I have to do to try it?
