technology that enables you to convert different types of documents, such as scanned paper
documents, PDF files or images captured by a digital camera into editable and searchable data.

the system will get it scanned and record of the pdf in the system making the whole process

your accounting data from Odoo to the other accounting software, as everything will be
integrated and you encompass someone who knows the system and use it.
