Introduction: The Challenge of Manual Document Processing
Every organization, regardless of industry, handles a massive volume of documents daily—invoices, contracts, purchase orders, shipping documents, tax forms, legal agreements, compliance records, and more. Despite the increasing adoption of digital tools, many businesses still rely on manual data entry to process these documents.
Why is this a problem?
Inefficiency – Employees spend hours reading, extracting, and entering data.
High error rates – Manual entry introduces inaccuracies that lead to compliance risks.
Operational delays – Approvals, payments, and record-keeping take longer.
Rising costs – More employees are needed as document volume increases.
The solution? Document processing automation—an AI-driven approach to eliminating manual data entry, ensuring data accuracy, and integrating seamlessly into ERP systems, portals, and databases.
Artificio leads the way with an advanced AI-powered document processing automation platform, revolutionizing the way businesses handle data.
1. Understanding Document Processing Automation
What is Document Processing Automation?
Document processing automation leverages artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), optical character recognition (OCR), and natural language processing (NLP) to extract, verify, and process data from unstructured and structured documents automatically.
How Does It Work?
Document Ingestion – Receives digital or scanned documents from various sources (email, cloud storage, ERP systems).
Document Understanding – Uses AI to classify documents and extract key-value pairs and line items.
Data Extraction – Captures relevant details such as invoice numbers, amounts, due dates, product descriptions, etc.
Data Verification – Ensures extracted data is accurate and compliant.
Integration – Transfers validated data to ERP systems, portals, or databases for further processing.
Key Benefits of Automating Document Processing
