What is beres
beres turns supplier documents into accounting entries. Someone in your team sends a purchase invoice or order by email or Telegram; beres reads it, matches the supplier and line items against your own codes, and gives you an import file or pushes the entry straight into your accounting system.
The loop
- Send — a team member sends a PDF or photo by email or to the beres bot on Telegram.
- Extract — beres reads the supplier, document number, date, and line items.
- Match — each supplier name and item description is matched against your master data, so "SYARIKAT MAKANAN SDN BHD" becomes supplier code
400-S012. - Review — check and correct documents in the batch workspace. Documents that came back clean need nothing changed; you still send the batch yourself.
- Export — download an import file, or push directly into your accounting system.
Every correction you make in step 4 teaches the matcher, so step 3 gets better over time. See How beres learns.
What it works with
| Accounting system | How entries arrive |
|---|---|
| SQL Account — Purchase Invoice (eStream), itemised by stock item | Excel import file, or direct API push |
| SQL Account — Supplier Invoice (ARAP), summarised by GL account | Excel import file, or direct API push |
| AutoCount Cloud | Direct API push |
What it is not
- Not a bookkeeping system. beres does not hold your ledger, produce reports, or replace SQL Account or AutoCount. It gets documents into those systems.
- Not a scanner app. You send existing PDFs or photos by email or Telegram instead of scanning them inside beres.
- Not unattended. A person opens the batch and sends it — either as an import file or straight over the API. beres does the reading, the matching and the paperwork; the decision to book is still yours.
What you need before starting
- An accounting system from the table above, and its master data (supplier list, stock items, chart of accounts) exportable as CSV.
- Access to email or a Telegram account for each person who will send documents.
- About 30 minutes for first-time setup.
