We're excited to announce that scanning services are now available to all Belgian companies on the Maventa platform. After a successful pilot phase, we've rolled out full access to our scanning capabilities powered by Lyanthe.

## What is scanning?

Scanning services allow businesses to digitize their incoming PDF invoices automatically.

- **Automated OCR**: Extract invoice data automatically using optical character recognition
- **Digital workflow**: Invoices are converted to structured digital format
- **Seamless integration**: Scanned invoices flow directly into your accounting system

## Activating scanning for Belgian companies

Scanning can be activated for Belgian companies through our API or via the Maventa user interface:

**Via API:** Call the POST `/v1/services/scan` endpoint or the older POST `/v1/company/profiles` endpoint. Lyanthe will automatically be set as the scan provider for Belgian companies.

**Via UI:** Navigate to your company settings in Maventa and enable scanning services from the invoice receiving section.
