Extract vendor name, invoice number, line items, amounts, and tax from any invoice format directly into a shareable Google Sheet. No templates. No per-vendor setup.
Google Sheets is where most small and mid-size teams actually work with financial data. It's shareable across departments, accessible from any device, and integrates with the rest of Google Workspace. When invoice data lands directly in Sheets — not as a downloaded CSV you have to import — the entire workflow becomes faster.
The problem is getting the data there. Invoices arrive as PDFs from dozens of vendors, each with a different layout. Copying and pasting loses all table structure. Exporting to CSV and then importing into Sheets adds friction and often mangles date formats. What you need is a tool that reads the invoice and writes structured data directly to a Google Sheet.
Lido uses layout-agnostic AI to extract invoice data — vendor name, invoice number, date, line items with descriptions and amounts, subtotal, tax, and total — and writes it directly to a Google Sheet with one row per line item or one row per invoice, depending on your preference. The AI handles any vendor format without templates or training data.
For AP teams processing invoices from 20+ vendors, the template-free approach is critical. You don't need to configure extraction zones for each vendor format. Upload any invoice from any vendor and get structured data in Sheets immediately.
Email automation. Set up a dedicated email address and forward vendor invoices as they arrive. Lido extracts data from every PDF attachment and appends rows to a shared Google Sheet automatically. Your AP team sees new invoices appear in real time without any manual upload.
Approval workflows. Extracted invoice data in Google Sheets can be connected to Apps Script or Google Forms for approval routing. Add a "Status" column, set up conditional formatting, and your manager sees which invoices need approval at a glance.
Monthly reporting. Upload all invoices for the month in a single batch. The consolidated Google Sheet is ready for pivot tables — slice by vendor, by date, by amount range. Finance gets the analysis they need without anyone re-keying data from PDFs.
Upload an invoice from any vendor. See structured data in Google Sheets in seconds.
