STEP 1: DATA TRANSFER

How do I safely provide Botkeeper login credentials to my client's accounts?

Botkeeper's Password Manager provides you and your clients with one central location to safely and securely store their credentials within their Botkeeper Client Portal. With a click of the button, your firm can share credentials with Botkeeper to be anonymously credentialed into their 3rd party applications. Password Manager also allows the Botkeeper Accounting team the ability to log into these applications and extract the needed details right from their source locations, without causing any disruption to your firm or client experience throughout the month.
Can I upload receipts and documents to Botkeeper?

Botkeeper understands that some customers are hesitant to invite outsiders into their 3rd party applications, which is why Botkeeper provides Scanbot. Scanbot utilizes OCR technology to read and transfer data from electronic images to automatically place the relevant details in your client's books. Electronic receipts, POS reports, 3rd party invoices, and even unpaid vendor bills are all supported by Scanbot.

STEP 2: AUTOMATION

After all the data has been retrieved and entered into your client’s general ledger, Botkeeper begins to process all of the uncategorized transactions, running them through a machine learning model to get them automatically categorized, using our Transaction Manager feature.

How does Botkeeper's Machine Learning learn over time?

Botkeeper's machine learning model is able to apply logic based on what it has “learned” by looking at your client’s unique historical data, as well as millions of other data points from our Botkeeper client base. Our model is in non-stop ‘education’ mode, using every new data point (such as but not limited to manual journal entries, other transactions running through your client’s bank feeds, and more), to become more accurate, and more powerful as we continue to work with your client’s data!
What happens if I am already using QBO Rules?
What happens if Botkeeper's Machine Learning cannot categorize a transaction?

For those inevitable scenarios where transactions cannot be automatically categorized without clarification from you or your client, the Transaction Manager feature provides a streamlined process, serving up the hit list of only those exception transactions for you or your client to quickly categorize. Once approved it will sync back to your clients’ books, teaching the machine what to do in the future, and driving up accuracy over time (unlike the QBO Rules feature, which requires ongoing manual adjustments and heavier human management).
