Automated document reading with OCR and AI, checked by rules

Extract data from scanned PDFs, invoices, contracts and bank statements without retyping. AI finds the fields; rules check every value before it's saved.

01The problem

Documents arrive as PDFs, photos and spreadsheets, and someone has to read and retype them. Typing errors turn into rework, fines or losses.

02How we solve it

OCR and language models locate the fields; values are read from the source cells or recalculated in code, then checked against totals and business rules before they reach your system. Sensitive data can be processed with local models, without leaving your company.

03How it works

01Document02AI suggests03Rules check04System
  1. Document

    A PDF, photo or spreadsheet arrives by email, shared folder or system.

  2. AI suggests

    OCR and language models locate the agreed fields in each document type.

  3. Rules check

    Sums, printed totals, dates and master data are checked in code.

  4. System

    Only what reconciles is saved, with the source of each value; the rest goes to human review.

The highlighted step is the check: anything that fails the rules goes back for review instead of moving on.

04What changes in practice

  • No more retyping. Invoices, statements, contracts and reports enter your system without manual entry.

  • No made-up values. Every number is read from the source and checked against totals and master data.

  • Exceptions under control. Anything that doesn't reconcile goes to a review queue, not into your system.

05What you get

  • Reader for the agreed document types
  • Validation rules (sums, dates, master data)
  • Integration with the target system
  • Exception queue for human review

06How the pilot works

Scope
One high-volume document type (for example, service invoices, bank statements or contracts)
Timeline
3 to 6 weeks

What we measure

  • share processed without manual intervention
  • errors in the target system
  • time per document

Metrics are agreed before we start. With the numbers in hand, you decide whether to move to production.

09Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to automate document processing with AI?

Every project is quoted after a free assessment, based on scope, volume and the systems involved. To start with a fixed scope, the “Document reading pilot” offer starts at US$ 2,400 and takes 3 weeks. You get a fixed-price proposal in writing before any work starts.

How long does it take to put document reading into production?

The pilot takes 3 to 6 weeks. Typical scope: one high-volume document type (for example, service invoices, bank statements or contracts).

What if the AI reads a value wrong?

Values go through automatic checks (sums, printed totals, master data). Anything that doesn't reconcile goes to human review, not into your system.

Do my documents have to leave the company?

No. Everything can run on local models, on your own server.

Does it work with scanned documents or phone photos?

Yes. The pilot measures the read rate on your real documents, including scans and photos.

How is pricing set after the pilot?

You can pay per processed page, from US$ 0.05 to 0.40 depending on the document type and the checks (estimate). Cloud OCR costs cents per page; the value is in the checks and the integration.
