01Where this usually starts

Your team can spend less time entering information and more time managing exceptions. We assess your document types, measure extraction performance and connect reviewed information to your business workflows.

02What changes

What you end up holding.

  • 01Information extracted from agreed document types
  • 02Validation against your orders, contracts and business rules
  • 03Review queues for uncertain or inconsistent records
  • 04Searchable original documents with appropriate permissions
  • 05Measured extraction performance and review thresholds

Discuss your documents and a measured approach to automation.

03The pieces

What a system like this is usually made of.

Prioritise the capabilities that create the most value for your first release. The estimator lets you explore each addition and plan your investment as the system develops.

Finding the document again

Everything filed where anyone entitled to see it can find it in seconds.

Reading documents as they arrive

Figures taken out of invoices, notes and certificates, checked, and only queried when genuinely unclear.

Checked against what you expected

Each document set against the order, the contract or the rate card, and held back when it disagrees.

The ones that need a person

Only the genuinely uncertain reach someone, with the original alongside for a two-second decision.

The sort of detail that matters

  • Read as they land in the inbox
  • Anything that disagrees with the order stops for a person
  • A supplier invoice that does not match the order never gets posted
  • You set where the line sits, and move it once you have watched it work

04How it would run

10 to 22 weeks, in five phases you approve one at a time.

  1. 01

    Getting to the truth

    A written account of how your work really runs today, what the current way is costing you, and what your new system has to do about it.

  2. 02

    Shaping it

    Every screen and every decision your system will make, in front of you and signed off, with your live date fixed at the end of it.

  3. 03

    Building it

    Your system takes shape week by week in your own account, with something you can click on and try at the end of every fortnight.

  4. 04

    Proving it

    Your own people put it through real work with real records, and everything they find is fixed before anybody depends on it.

  5. 05

    Going live

    Your team moves across trained, with their history intact, on the date fixed months earlier.

05Asked most often

The questions that come up.

How accurate is it really?

We measure extraction accuracy on representative documents during design. Your team reviews the results, required review thresholds and suitability for each document type before approving the approach.

Does it ever post something wrong without us noticing?

Validation rules route uncertain or inconsistent records for review. Your team approves the thresholds and checks, with monitoring to identify errors and refine the process.

What happens to the documents themselves?

Your documents remain accessible under an agreed retention policy, with appropriate permissions and activity records.

06The rest of it

Most projects are two or three of these at once.

Let’s build your next business advantage.
