Dear user,
With SMACC, HONESTY ECM, and CrossCommerce ERP, an integrated ecosystem for automated, secure, and traceable accounting processes for medium-sized businesses is being created.
A strong growth for digital business processes
CrossCommerce GmbH, with locations in Mainz and Würzburg, has been developing cloud-based software solutions for document management (ECM/DMS with HONESTY) and ERP systems for years – specifically for the needs of medium-sized companies.
With the acquisition of the AI-supported solution SMACC for the automatic processing of incoming invoices, CrossCommerce is now taking the next strategic step.
Goal: A fully integrated process from invoice to archiving – digital, automated, and legally compliant.
What SMACC will be able to do in the future – and how companies will benefit from it
Automation along the entire invoicing process
Under the CrossCommerce umbrella, SMACC is being consistently developed further. The product roadmap includes new features that will significantly simplify accounting work:
- Invoice retrieval
Automatically collect invoices via email, from download portals, or via a link – without manual forwarding.
- Data scraping with n8n
Automatically capture invoice information from cloud services, third-party software solutions, websites, or supplier portals.
- Automated account assignment suggestions
SMACC’s AI will suggest even more suitable accounts and posting entries in the future (e.g., for travel expenses or material purchases).
- Bank connection (via FinAPI)
Reconcile invoices directly with account transactions – for faster approvals and payments.
- In-house AI extraction
Instead of external providers: SMACC develops its own recognition technology for greater control, accuracy, and data protection.
- Security audits and certification
SMACC is meticulously tested for IT security – including penetration tests (simulated attacks for vulnerability analysis).
- Chat feature for invoice dialogs
Examples:
-
“Summarize invoice ‘4711’.”
-
“Show all outstanding invoices.”
-
“Which invoices were received last week?”
Questions about the tool are also answered, such as: “How do I invite new users?”
With these features, SMACC becomes the central hub for incoming invoice processing and paves the way for deep integration with ERP systems and document archiving.
Optional integration with HONESTY ECM and CrossCommerce ERP
Legal compliance from receipt to posting
SMACC handles automatic processing:
Invoices are recognized, content is extracted, accounting suggestions are made, and workflows are initiated.
The HONESTY DMS system can then ensure the legally required archiving: GoBD-compliant, versioned, and secure. The archived documents would be available for audits or research at any time via an interface (API).
Seamless ERP integration
CrossCommerce’s ERP system can directly utilize the data generated by SMACC:
Posting entries, approvals, and payment instructions are automatically incorporated. HONESTY complements the entire process with approval processes, quotation management, and contract documentation.
Fictional examples from (future) practice:
-
A craft business processes invoices totaling over €5,000. SMACC suggests suitable accounting accounts, the ERP handles the posting, HONESTY documents the approval and archives the documents in accordance with GoBD (German Data Processing System).
-
A medium-sized mechanical engineering company uses SMACC for data recognition, HONESTY automatically archives via the API, and the ERP manages budget approvals and payments.
The result: A seamless, digital solution: from the first invoice to the audit.
