BGL is proud to announce the release of 'Email to Fund' - a unique new feature of its AI-powered document-to-data solution, BGL SmartDocs.

BGL SmartDocs is fully integrated with BGL’s multi-award-winning SMSF administration and portfolio management solutions, Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360.

“This release is a unique achievement by our Big Data and Simple Fund 360 Product Teams, who have dedicated more than 2 years to the project,” said Ron Lesh, BGL’s Managing Director. “Clients can now email documents directly into their Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 software where BGL SmartDocs will extract the data, automatically code and attach the source document to the transaction. No other SMSF administration or accounting software offers this exceptional technology.”

As part of BGL’s Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 software, BGL SmartDocs is a document reader that uses AI technology with optical character recognition (OCR) and advanced deep learning algorithms to extract information from many document types including bank statements, contract notes, dividend and distribution advices, rental statements and invoices. It converts the document into digital data, streamlining the workflow process. 

Jeevan Tokhi, Head of Simple Fund 360 at BGL, said: “With the new BGL SmartDocs features, each SMSF, trust, company and individual portfolio in Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360 will have a unique email address for accountants, advisers, administrators or trustees to send documents. The documents can also be uploaded via the software, Engage by BGL (our mobile app) or via the BGL API. Documents are then automatically added to Document Management in the software.”

“When BGL SmartDocs extracts the document data, it will automatically search for the corresponding transaction within the entity (SMSF, trust, company or individual) and attach the source document to it,” explained Tokhi. “The most exciting feature, however, is that the data auto-fills transaction details in the Smart Matching screen for uncoded bank transactions, eliminating the need for clients to create data rules.” 

BGL Smartdocs is fully integrated with BGL’s multi-award-winning SMSF administration and portfolio management solutions, Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360.

“This release is the next step in the evolution of our zero-touch technology,” added Ron Lesh. “It will eliminate the administrative burden of analysing, checking and storing hundreds of documents annually for SMSFs and investment portfolios. It also bolsters the existing transaction matching and AI-powered Smart Matching in Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360.”

BGL SmartDocs is currently reading two million pages per month and loading the extracted data into Simple Fund 360 and Simple Invest 360.

BGL will be at Accountex in Sydney this week. Visit the BGL booth A32 to watch a live demonstration of this new BGL SmartDocs ‘Email to Fund’ feature!
