Save 20+ hours a month with automated invoice processing for DATEV.
Cortena handles incoming invoices end-to-end: capture, categorization, approval, and posting in DATEV. 90% autonomous within 7 days.
Finance teams lose countless hours to data entry in accounting tools.
It's not just data entry. It's everything that comes with it: chasing suppliers for missing details, fixing incorrect line items, re-entering rejected invoices, and reconciling what actually hit the books. At 200 invoices a month, that's roughly €40,000 in annual productivity. And that's without the errors.

What you should know about the DATEV integration.
What's the difference between DATEV Unternehmen Online and DATEV Rechnungswesen?
DATEV Unternehmen Online (DUo) is the pre-accounting platform where documents and booking suggestions are stored before your tax advisor transfers them into DATEV Rechnungswesen. Cortena connects to both. DATEV users can decide which integration best fits their workflow and define exactly which steps Cortena handles within the platform.
Which DATEV interface does Cortena use?
Cortena uses the official DATEV API. Documents, booking entries, accounts, and cost centers are synced directly: no CSV exports, no manual transfer. The connection is OAuth-based and live in 15 minutes.
Does Cortena replace my tax advisor?
No. Cortena automates the upstream work you do today: capturing documents, categorizing them, and preparing them for DATEV. Your tax advisor receives clean, pre-coded data and can focus on year-end closing, tax optimization, and advisory work.
Is Cortena GoBD-compliant?
Yes. Every AI decision is explained with a confidence score and logged in the audit trail. Documents stay archived unchanged and every correction is fully traceable. Cortena is GoBD-compliant and ISO 27001 certified.
Where is my data stored?
Exclusively in the EU. Cortena hosts on dedicated servers in Germany (Hetzner). Your financial data never leaves the EU and is never used to train external AI models.
How fast is the DATEV setup?
The DATEV connection is established in 15 minutes: OAuth login, client selection, done. Cortena then learns for 7 days from your historical documents. After that, the AI handles around 90% of your invoice volume autonomously.
