## The Problem

Invoices arrive via email, PDF, mail, and vendor portals — Construction Bookkeepers re-key them into Sage 100 Contractor, chase GL codes and approvers, and still end up with duplicates and late fees.

## What We Build in Foundation

AI pulls bills from every channel, extracts line items, assigns GL codes using Construction Accounting patterns, routes approvals, and sends payment files to Sage 100 Contractor — processing cost per invoice drops from $15 to under $2. Purpose-built for teams running Foundation — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Foundation Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Foundation configuration.** We map the specific Foundation objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your construction accounting practice.
2. **Build on the Foundation API or agent.** Integration happens inside Foundation — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Foundation with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
