Digital Construction Invoices with BDS and bluDELTA

BDS develops ERP solutions for the construction industry and supports companies in the digitalization of commercial workflows. The goal was to automate the processing of construction invoices and, in particular, improve the efficiency of capturing invoice line items.

Requirements in the construction industry differ significantly from traditional invoice workflows in other sectors. Invoices often contain complex line-item structures, varying service descriptions and individual corrections at line-item level.

A key requirement was therefore a solution that integrates seamlessly into existing ERP workflows and is specifically designed for the requirements of digital construction invoices.

Construction invoices often contain complex line-item structures, different units and industry-specific terminology. At the same time, clear article numbers or standardized descriptions are frequently missing.

Traditional rule-based or template-based systems quickly reach their limits when dealing with this level of variation and create significant manual effort within invoice processing.

In addition, the solution needed to be available directly within the existing ERP environment and deployable for new customers without complex customization.

BDS integrates bluDELTA for the automated processing of digital construction invoices directly within its ERP system. Documents are automatically analyzed, relevant header and line-item data is extracted and structured for downstream workflows.

The AI model, specifically trained for construction invoices, supports the processing of complex invoice structures and significantly reduces manual effort within invoice capture workflows.

Thanks to seamless integration into the existing ERP interface, BDS customers benefit immediately from automated document workflows. At the same time, cloud-based deployment enables rapid onboarding without additional administrative effort for existing on-premises environments.

bluDELTA helps ERP vendors and construction companies further develop document-based processes in a structured, transparent and system-ready way — integrated into existing ERP, workflow and specialist systems.
