Dext
Tool : standalone product, used directly
Automatic capture and extraction of invoices and expense receipts for accounting.
The standard tool used by accounting firms for document entry.
What it does, concretely
Managing invoices, receipts and expense reports by hand is time-consuming and prone to data entry errors. Dext automates the collection and extraction of accounting data from these documents, so that businesses and accounting firms no longer need to manually re-enter each line.
In practice, users import their supporting documents by taking a photo with the mobile app, by dragging and dropping PDFs, by email, or via API connectors. Dext's OCR then reads the pre-tax, VAT and total amounts, categorises the document and automatically reconciles the data with bank statements to detect duplicates or missing items. Entries are then exported to compatible accounting software (Cegid, Sage, Fulll, ACD, etc.).
Dext is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses looking to simplify their administrative management, and at their accountants seeking to automate pre-accounting tasks for their clients. The solution is also a State-approved platform for electronic invoicing, making it relevant for organisations that need to comply with the e-invoicing reform that came into force in France on 1 September 2026.
However, Dext is a paid solution with no lasting free plan, which may be a barrier for freelancers or very small organisations with a low volume of documents. Users who do not need electronic invoicing or collaboration with an accounting firm may find the tool more comprehensive than necessary.
