– We constantly seek process improvements and identified that our accounts payable handling could be significantly enhanced compared to our previous system.
SEMINE stood out early as the right partner for us. The platform continuously learns, performs line-level invoice coding, and doesn’t require rule-based setups.
- With SEMINE, we can achieve a high level of automation, gain unique insights, and realize significant efficiency gains.

The SEMINE platform delivers automation through AI technology, while also offering a new approach to utilizing data capture for more accurate reports and analysis. This represents a major improvement from our previous system, which lacked functionality and was not designed for task automation. By adopting SEMINE, AST aims to free up internal resources for more value-added work across the company.
– We’re excited to implement SEMINE and are confident it will reduce the time spent on invoice processing, increase control, and provide a better foundation for analysis, Skjevik says.
Mathias Cook, Sales Manager at Semine, highlights the positive dialogue with AST Regnskap and looks forward to the road ahead.
– AST is committed to working lean and efficiently, supporting the Bitastad group. To achieve their long-term strategic goals, it was important to find market solutions that would help them, such as accounts payable automation and seamless invoice management, says Cook.
We are proud to have AST Regnskap on board and excited to introduce them as the newest member of the Semine family.
