The Idea

From a pile of documents to data in your systems

It reads the document, then enters the data

The system reads invoices, forms and orders in any format, pulls out the fields that matter, and enters them where they belong. Instead of a person keying line by line, the data flows in and a person checks the exceptions.

  • Reads any layout, not a fixed template
  • Extracts the fields that matter, not raw text
  • Posts to your ERP, not a spreadsheet to retype

Validation, approvals and a clear trail

Every document is checked against your master data and rules before it posts. Anything unclear waits for a person, and every entry is logged, so you trust the numbers and can audit where each one came from.

  • Validates against POs, vendors and master data
  • Human approval on the values that matter
  • A full record from document to entry

From a document pile to a working flow

  1. Pick the document

    We choose one high-volume document type where the manual keying costs the most.

  2. Connect the source

    We link the inbox, scanner or folder it arrives in, and the ERP it should land in.

  3. Set extraction and rules

    We define the fields, the validation, and what needs a human to approve.

  4. Test and deploy

    We run it beside your team, check the output, then let it handle the volume.

  5. Improve

    We watch the exceptions and tune the rules as your documents change.

The documents teams automate first

  • Supplier invoices

    Read invoices, match them to purchase orders, and prepare entries for approval, with no manual keying.

  • Sales orders

    Turn emailed and PDF orders into sales orders in your ERP, ready to fulfil within minutes.

  • Purchase orders

    Capture incoming POs, check them against agreed terms, and raise the right record automatically.

  • Forms and KYC

    Read onboarding and KYC forms, extract the details, and create the customer or vendor record.

  • Shipping documents

    Process delivery notes, packing lists and bills of lading, and reconcile them against orders.

  • Expenses and receipts

    Read receipts and expense claims, check them against policy, and prepare them for reimbursement.

Document automation questions

How is this different from OCR or scanning?

OCR turns an image into text. Document automation goes further: it understands what the text means, extracts the right fields, validates them against your data, and posts the result into your systems, with oversight. OCR reads the page; automation acts on it.

Does it need a template for each vendor?

No. It reads the layout rather than relying on fixed field positions, so it handles new vendors and formats without a template to build and maintain for each one.

What happens when a document is unclear?

It stops and routes the document to a person with the issue highlighted, instead of guessing. Anything below a confidence threshold, or above a value you set, waits for approval.

Will it connect to our ERP?

Yes. We post data into Odoo, ERPNext, SAP and other systems through their APIs, and attach the source document so every entry traces back to where it came from.

How accurate is it?

On the documents it is built for, extraction is typically very high, and validation catches most of what slips. The point is not perfection without people, but catching errors before they post and routing the rest to a human.

How long until the first flow is live?

A focused first document type usually goes live in about four to six weeks, depending on volume and the systems it touches.
