From 5 employees and 6 hours a day
to 10 minutes of automation
Ascend Properties' 50% annual growth meant invoice volume was outpacing staff capacity. A Nanonets agent now processes 400 maintenance invoices per day automatically — extracting, validating, and uploading to SQL with no manual intervention.
Ascend Properties is a UK-based property management company that has grown rapidly to manage over 10,000 properties. With 50% year-on-year growth, Ascend needed automation to scale its operations without a proportional increase in headcount.
The Problem
Ascend's rapid growth was creating a critical bottleneck in invoice processing. To keep pace with volume manually, they would have needed to hire 5 full-time staff — a cost and operational burden that wasn't viable.
- —5 FTE required to keep pace manually — unsustainable cost and hiring burden at 50% growth.
- —6 hours of manual work per day — staff spent their day downloading, reading, and entering invoice data.
- —400 invoices daily with no deduplication — duplicate invoices went undetected.
Nanonets helped us avoid a 5x increase in staff. What was taking 6 hours a day now takes 10 minutes.
The solution
400 invoices automated. Zero additional headcount.
Nanonets replaced the manual invoice process with one autonomous agent. The agent orchestrates four sub-agents which each own one step of the pipeline — ingesting vendor emails, extracting fields via OCR, validating against the SQL vendor database, and uploading records — with no human in the loop.
