FINJA AI is an agentic finance orchestration platform that connects accounting systems, email, banking APIs, and spreadsheets to fully automate common finance workflows. Using IBM watsonx Orchestrate, FINJA ingests invoices (email/PDF), extracts data with NLU/speech-to-text where needed, validates line-items against purchase orders, routes approvals using multi-level rules, triggers payments via payment API (sandbox), and posts reconciled entries to the ledger. It includes an anomaly detection skill for suspicious transactions and a reporting skill to generate daily summaries for finance managers. FINJA AI reduces processing time, eliminates manual data entry, enforces policy-based approvals, and provides a transparent audit trail for compliance.
