Integration
Abacus: use what exists, add what is missing.
Abacus has its own invoice reading, DeepO, and documented interfaces. If you already use it, that is where we start. Dossivio works upstream (intake, sorting, missing documents) or connects through the API or AbaConnect, depending on your licence.
What Abacus already does
| Component | What it does | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| DeepO / AbaScan Pro | Reading, classification, creditor entry and approval workflow | DeepCloud service; price depends on the model (variable or flat rate) |
| DeepBox | Document exchange platform, drop box, B2B and B2C portal | From CHF 0 (3 users, 1 GB), then CHF 19 to 199 per month excl. VAT |
| AbaConnect | XML import and export of entries, with the document | Option of the application concerned |
| REST API (Entity API) | OData access to data, subscriptions to changes | Service user and licence through a partner |
| AbaNinja | Invoicing and accounting for small businesses, invoice extraction | API from Basic (CHF 21 per month) |
Abacus does not publish end-customer prices for its ERP: the price depends on the provider. The AbaWeb price lists in circulation are the providers' internal purchase prices.
How Dossivio connects to Abacus
Two routes, chosen during the assessment with your Abacus partner:
- AbaConnect: Dossivio produces the XML file of approved entries, document included, which is imported into financial accounting or accounts payable.
- REST API: if your licence allows it, Dossivio creates the creditor documents directly, with a dedicated service user.
If DeepO already handles your invoices well, Dossivio does not replace it: it sits in front of it, to receive documents from every channel, match them to the right client and chase the missing ones.
What Dossivio adds
- All channels in one place: dedicated email, upload portal, scan and photo, not just the mobile app.
- The right file: for an accounting firm, each document is matched to the right client and financial year before it enters the books.
- Checks before payment: a duplicate received through two channels, an IBAN that differs from the one known for the supplier, inconsistent VAT.
- The exception queue: whatever fails a rule is set aside with its reason, never booked at random.
- Missing documents: the status of expected documents per client, with chase-ups drafted.
An authorised person approves each entry before it goes out. Nothing is booked or paid automatically at the start.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an additional Abacus licence?
For the API, yes: the service user counts as a user and activating clients affects the price. For AbaConnect, the option of the application concerned. Your Abacus partner will give you the exact price.
Isn't DeepO enough?
Often, if your invoices arrive through a single channel and belong to a single client. Dossivio is useful for accounting firms that receive documents for many clients by email, portal and post, or when missing documents need chasing.
What about AbaNinja?
AbaNinja has its own API from the Basic plan. The connection is handled as for Abacus, based on AbaNinja's documentation.
