Artificial intelligence applied to documents

Purchase orders, invoices, customs documents, receipts, spreadsheets, images and PDFs. We read them with AI, validate the information with business rules and enter it in the system without anyone typing it.

Common problems

Sound familiar?

  • Document formats change from one issuer to the next.
  • Template-based tools break when the issuer changes the layout.
  • Scanned documents have no text and have to be typed.
  • A misread value that enters the system unvalidated becomes an operational error.
Available automations

What we can automate

01

AI document reading

Invoices, orders and other documents, even when the layout changes between issuers, with OCR when the file has no text.

02

Business rule validation

Extracted data is checked against master data and rules before it becomes a transaction.

03

Entry into SAP or another system

Validated information goes into the ERP, the database or whichever system applies.

In detail

How we solve it

How it works

  1. Classification. We identify the document type before trying to read it.
  2. Extraction. We get the fields the process needs, even when the document layout changes between issuers.
  3. Validation. We check what was extracted against master data and rules, and calculate whatever needs calculating.
  4. Delivery. Validated information goes into the ERP, the database or whichever system applies.

Where we use AI and where we don't

It's a distinction we prefer to make clear from the start.

Artificial intelligence interprets

It reads variable documents, understands that “case x12” and “CS 12 EA” can mean the same thing, and finds a value even if it moves around the page.

Business rules decide

Calculations, validations, unit conversions and system integration are built to be deterministic, controlled and auditable. The same document always produces the same result, and that result can be reviewed step by step.

This separation is why our automations can be audited. If an order was entered at a given price, the rule that set it exists, and so does the record of its application.

How it works

From input to outcome, with no manual steps

1

Intake

The document arrives by email, folder, portal or system.

2

Classification

The document type is identified.

3

AI extraction

The fields the process needs, with no fixed templates.

4

Validation

Deterministic, auditable business rules.

5

Entry

In SAP, another ERP, a database or whichever system applies.
