Seamless integration of SMACC and HONESTY: Financial processes with digital depth

Many companies are digitizing their accounting processes – but digitalization often stops at invoice verification. Contracts, delivery notes, purchase orders, and emails related to invoices are scattered in inboxes or on network drives.

The result: media disruption, duplication, and a lack of transparency.

The integration of SMACC with HONESTY ECM closes precisely this gap.

It combines automated financial processes with audit-proof document archiving – for a consistent digital workflow across the entire company.

SMACC as the heart of financial processes

SMACC is the cloud-based platform for automated financial processes.

Incoming invoices are recorded centrally, read using AI, and checked based on defined rules – for example, for amounts, suppliers, or payment terms.

Pre-assignment, approval, and posting are standardized, automated, and error-free.

The integration with HONESTY ECM extends SMACC with an audit-compliant archiving layer: Incoming invoices can be automatically filed in HONESTY if the interface is configured.

This transforms an invoice receipt process into a complete, traceable information flow.

HONESTY as an audit-compliant extension

While SMACC handles the automation of financial processes, HONESTY ensures order, structure, and traceability in the background.

The ECM system stores all documents long-term, GDPR-compliant, and audit-compliant.

Every invoice, along with all associated information, is centrally accessible – ideal for reviews, audits, or queries from the specialist department.

A special advantage: SMACC automatically transfers the reviewed and accounted invoices to HONESTY.

There, they are archived in an audit-compliant manner and continue to be linked to the respective transactions in SMACC via the unique document ID.

This ensures that the entire process remains seamlessly documented.

How the integration works

The connection is based on a standardized interface (API) that enables secure data exchange between SMACC and HONESTY.

• 1. Capture & Review in SMACC: Invoices are captured digitally, run through a freely configurable workflow, and are pre-assigned.
• 2. Automatic Transfer: After successful processing, SMACC transfers the invoice information to HONESTY.
• 3. Audit-Proof Filing: Documents are archived in HONESTY. Additional documents can, if desired, be manually assigned or linked via appropriate processes.

The result: No more manual data transfer, no more duplicate system entries, and no more lost documents.

The advantages for SMACC users

• End-to-end processes

Incoming invoices flow automatically from SMACC to HONESTY – without any manual intervention.

• Transparency

Every invoice remains traceable – from capture to archiving.

• Efficiency

Duplicated work is eliminated. Employees find all information centrally and save valuable time.

Practical example

An incoming invoice is extracted, approved, and pre-assigned in SMACC.

After successful processing, SMACC transfers the verified invoice to HONESTY.

Other related documents—such as framework agreements, purchase orders, or correspondence—can be manually added in HONESTY and linked to the invoice.

This creates a digital, traceable file that is complete and audit-proof for both accounting and audits.

Conclusion

The integration of SMACC and HONESTY demonstrates what true process digitalization looks like: Automated processes meet secure, traceable archiving.

For SMEs, this means less effort, less risk, and more transparency.
