The Basecone alternative when you want to automate orders.
Basecone is built for accountants and bookkeeping firms: scan, recognise and post receipts and invoices. If your pain is not in the ledger but at the order desk, a bookkeeping tool will not solve it. ENTR automates the order itself, from mailbox to ERP.
Why order teams choose ENTR
Built for operations, not bookkeeping
Sales orders, purchase orders and order confirmations with item matching and delivery terms, instead of ledger accounts and VAT coding.
Everything that comes in
PDF, email, Excel, scan or photo. ENTR filters the mailbox, extracts the order and ignores the rest.
Straight into your ERP
Native connections to AFAS, Exact, RidderIQ, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and MKG, with validation before anything is written.
Invoices too, but operational rather than accounting-led
Basecone treats the invoice as a bookkeeping document. ENTR reads the same invoice template-free at line level and checks it against the order and the packing slip before anything is approved. That is substantially stronger than OCR of header fields; your accounting package only has to post the result.
- Purchase invoices read at line level, template-free
- Three-way matching against order and packing slip before approval
- Deviations with an explanation instead of an empty queue
- Approved invoices forwarded to your ERP or accounting package

Frequently asked questions
Is ENTR an alternative to Basecone?
For order processing, yes. Basecone is strong at recognising and posting invoices and receipts for the administration. ENTR targets the commercial and operational side: incoming orders and order confirmations posted into the ERP automatically.
Can ENTR process invoices too?
ENTR processes purchase invoices as part of three-way matching, against the order and the packing slip. For the full bookkeeping flow an administration platform usually stays in place.
What does it deliver?
Customers typically save 5 to 15 minutes per order and keep the turnaround from inbox to order confirmation within minutes instead of hours.
