Problem

The problem we faced

The accounting team entered hundreds of documents into the system by hand every month. It was time-consuming, and entry errors caused overtime for corrections.

Solution

The approach we developed

We set up automation that reads documents with OCR, validates fields and transfers them to the accounting system. Records with a low confidence score are routed for human approval, delivering speed and accuracy together. All operations are stored as an audit log.
