What is intelligent document processing?
Intelligent document processing (IDP) uses OCR, layout models and large language models to read a document, work out what type it is, pull out the fields you need and check them against your rules. The result is clean, structured data in your systems. Unlike template-based OCR, it handles new layouts without a new template for every supplier or form.
How is intelligent document processing different from OCR?
OCR only turns an image into text. Intelligent document processing also understands which text is the invoice number, the total or the due date, checks those values against your rules and records, flags anything it is unsure of for a person to review, and sends structured data to your ERP or database.
How accurate is your document data extraction?
Accuracy depends on the documents, their scan quality and the fields you need, so we measure it on your own documents. Before you commit to a build, we run a sample set through our pipeline and give you a field-by-field accuracy report. In production, any field below the confidence threshold goes to a person for review instead of straight into your systems.
Which documents and formats can you process?
We process invoices, purchase orders, receipts, bank statements, contracts, onboarding and KYC documents, insurance and claims forms, shipping documents and HR forms. Inputs can be digital PDFs, scanned PDFs, photos from a phone or email attachments, and outputs are JSON, CSV or direct writes to your systems.
Can it send data to our ERP or accounting software?
Yes. Extracted data is exported through your ERP, accounting or CRM system's API, or through webhooks, CSV files or a database you choose. Validation can match documents against your own records, such as checking an invoice against its purchase order before it is posted.
Where are our documents processed, and are they used to train AI models?
You choose where processing runs: in a cloud region you pick, inside your own cloud account, or on your own servers using open-weight models. Your documents are never used to train public AI models.
How long does a document AI project take?
Projects run in three stages: a test on a sample of your documents, a pilot on one document type with your team reviewing the output, then production with monitoring and a review queue. Timelines depend on the number of document types, the fields you need and the systems we connect to, and we give you a fixed plan after the sample test.
Should we buy an IDP platform or build a custom solution?
An off-the-shelf platform is often enough for standard documents at moderate volume. A custom build pays off when your documents vary widely, you need your own validation rules and approval steps, or your data has to stay in your own cloud or on your own servers. After the sample test we tell you honestly which option fits.
