Common questions about Continia solutions
Continia Document Capture uses advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology that achieves very high accuracy rates, typically exceeding 95% for most document fields. The system employs multiple recognition techniques, including template-based recognition for regular suppliers and intelligent field detection for new document formats. The accuracy improves over time as the system learns from corrections and builds supplier-specific templates. For fields that cannot be recognized with high confidence, the system flags them for manual verification, ensuring data integrity. Additionally, the automatic matching with purchase orders and vendor information in your Business Central or NAV system provides another layer of validation. In our experience, most clients see a significant reduction in data entry errors compared to manual processing, even from the initial implementation.
Continia solutions integrate directly with Business Central and NAV as embedded applications, providing a seamless user experience within your ERP system. The integration is deep and bidirectional, with Continia solutions accessing and updating data in your Business Central or NAV database in real-time. This native integration means that users can access Continia functionality directly from their familiar ERP interface, with consistent user experience and security. The solutions respect your Business Central or NAV security settings and business logic, ensuring data integrity and appropriate access controls. Continia supports both cloud and on-premises deployments of Business Central and NAV, and works with all recent versions of these systems. The installation process is straightforward, with minimal impact on your core ERP system, making upgrades and maintenance manageable.
Yes, Continia Expense Management is designed to handle multiple currencies and complex tax rules, making it ideal for businesses with international operations. The system automatically detects the currency from receipt images and converts amounts to your base currency using configurable exchange rates. For VAT/GST handling, Expense Management can automatically calculate recoverable tax based on country-specific rules and expense categories. The system supports different per diem rates and allowances for different countries, and can enforce country-specific expense policies. For mileage claims, the system can apply different reimbursement rates based on location and vehicle type. All of these international capabilities are fully integrated with your Business Central or NAV system, ensuring consistent financial reporting across currencies and tax jurisdictions.
The implementation timeline for Continia solutions varies depending on the specific products being implemented, the complexity of your business processes, and the extent of customization required. A typical implementation of a single Continia solution takes between 2-4 weeks from initial setup to go-live. Document Capture implementations usually take 2-3 weeks, focusing on configuration, template setup, and workflow design. Expense Management typically takes 2-4 weeks, including mobile app setup, policy configuration, and integration with credit card providers if needed. Payment Management implementations generally take 1-2 weeks, focusing on bank format configuration and approval workflow setup. Our implementation approach is designed to deliver value quickly, with a phased rollout that allows you to start using the system for key processes while additional functionality is being implemented. We work closely with your team to develop a realistic implementation timeline based on your specific requirements and operational constraints.
Continia solutions offer highly customizable approval workflows to match your organization's specific requirements and approval hierarchies. The workflow engine allows you to define multiple approval levels based on various criteria such as amount thresholds, expense types, departments, projects, or custom dimensions from your Business Central or NAV system. You can configure different approval paths for different document types or expense categories, and set up delegate approvers for when primary approvers are unavailable. The system supports both sequential and parallel approval flows, allowing multiple approvers to review documents simultaneously when needed. Approval notifications can be delivered via email, with links that allow approvers to review and approve directly from their inbox. For more complex requirements, the workflow engine can be extended with custom logic through the Business Central or NAV development environment. Our implementation team works with you to design and configure approval workflows that balance efficiency with appropriate controls for your organization.
