Receipt Bank grew by tackling the drudgery before the ledger. Now part of IRIS, Dext is expanding into data checks, AI assistance and payments - with a business case that still comes down to minutes saved.
Rossum Taught the Machines to Read the Paperwork Nobody Could Kill
The Czech-born document-AI company made peace with the invoice, trained a specialist model to understand it, and sold the result to enterprises drowning in exceptions. Coupa’s 2026 acquisition turns that stubborn paperwork layer into part of a much larger spend-management machine.
The 35-Year Fintech Bet That Made the Bar Tab Boring - and Built a Data Business

AppZen
