# Intelligent Document Processing Solutions

> Intelligent document processing: AI that classifies documents, extracts and validates data and feeds your systems, with people in the loop.

Stop retyping data from invoices, forms and contracts. We build document processing that reads, checks and routes your paperwork automatically, and asks a person only when it's unsure.

## What you get with Authect's intelligent document processing

**Intelligent document processing (IDP)** uses AI and automation to read large volumes of documents, from scanned forms and PDFs to emails and photos, and turn what's in them into structured data your systems can use. Unlike simple text recognition, it understands layout and meaning, so it copes with documents that never look quite the same twice.

We combine **optical character recognition, machine learning, language models and workflow automation** to classify each document, extract the fields you need and validate them against your rules and records. Low-confidence results go to a person for a quick check, and every correction makes the system better.

Each solution is **built around your documents and your process**, led by a senior engineer with the founders involved from the first workshop. The models, workflows and code are yours from day one, and your documents stay in environments you control.

## How intelligent document processing can transform your business

Documents are where a lot of manual work hides. Automating them pays off in three main ways, and in a few you might not expect.

1. **Higher productivity**: Data entry, sorting and checking happen automatically, so documents that used to wait in a queue for days are processed in minutes and your team works on exceptions only.
2. **Lower operating costs**: Accurate extraction and validation cut the time spent on manual processing and the cost of fixing errors later, and volumes can grow without hiring at the same pace.
3. **Better customer experience**: Applications, claims and onboarding move faster when paperwork is digitised automatically, so customers get answers sooner and are asked for the same information less often.
4. **Fewer errors**: Every extracted value is checked against your rules and existing records, catching mismatches that tired eyes miss at the end of a long day.
5. **A complete audit trail**: You can see who or what processed each document, which fields were changed and why, which makes audits and compliance reviews far easier.
6. **Data you can finally use**: Information once locked in PDFs and scans becomes searchable, reportable data that feeds analytics, automation and AI across the business.

## How we deliver intelligent document processing software

Four stages take you from piles of paperwork to a system your team trusts. **We test on your real documents from the start**, so you see accuracy on your own data, not on a demo set.

1. **Discovery and assessment**: We study your document types, volumes, sources and current workflow with the people who handle them, and agree which fields matter and what accuracy you need.
2. **Solution design**: We design an architecture for your documents and processes, choosing or training models for classification and extraction, and defining validation rules and review steps.
3. **Development and integration**: We build the solution, deploy it to your environment and connect it to your ERP, CRM, document storage and email, then tune it on live documents.
4. **Training and support**: We train your team on review and exception handling, monitor accuracy, retrain models on corrections and add new document types as you need them.

## How Authect approaches intelligent document processing

1. **Machine learning plus software engineering**: We build and tune models for your specific documents, then wrap them in solid, tested software that integrates with your systems and is easy to maintain.
2. **Designed around your process**: We learn how your documents flow today and who touches them, so the automation fits your rules, approvals and exceptions rather than a generic template.
3. **Founder-led from start to finish**: The founders and the senior engineer leading your project are the people you speak to, from the first look at your documents to go-live and beyond.
4. **Yours to keep**: Models, workflows and code live in your accounts from day one, with no per-document licence that ties you to us.

## How we keep document automation accurate and safe

1. **A person in the loop**: Every extracted field carries a confidence score. Anything below the threshold you set goes to a reviewer with the source highlighted, so mistakes are caught before they reach your systems.
2. **Validation against your data**: Totals are recalculated, dates and references checked, and values matched against suppliers, customers and orders you already hold, not just read off the page.
3. **Sensitive data handled carefully**: Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited by role, and processing can run in your own cloud account or region when the data requires it.

## Intelligent document processing FAQs

### What is intelligent document processing?

Intelligent document processing (IDP) uses AI and automation to turn documents into structured data your systems can use. It reads scanned forms, PDFs, emails and photos, classifies each document, extracts the fields you need and checks them against your rules and records. Low-confidence results go to a person for a quick check, and every correction makes the system better.

### How is intelligent document processing different from OCR?

OCR turns an image of text into text; intelligent document processing understands what the text means. Optical character recognition is one component of IDP. IDP adds machine learning and language models that understand layout and meaning, so it copes with documents that never look quite the same twice, then validates the values, for example recalculating totals and matching suppliers, before the data reaches your systems.

### How accurate is intelligent document processing?

Accuracy depends on your documents, so we measure it on your real documents from the start, not on a demo set. In discovery we agree which fields matter and what accuracy you need. Every extracted field carries a confidence score; anything below the threshold you set goes to a reviewer with the source highlighted, and models are retrained on those corrections.

### How long does it take to set up document processing?

It depends on how many document types, sources and systems are involved. We work in four stages: discovery and assessment, solution design, development and integration, then training and support. Because we test on your real documents from the start, you see accuracy on your own data early, and new document types can be added later as you need them.

### How much does intelligent document processing cost?

It depends on scope: the document types and volumes, the accuracy you need and the systems we integrate with. We quote each project individually after a free scoping conversation with the founders. There's no per-document licence tying you to us, because the models, workflows and code are yours. For a rough first idea of the development side, try the software development cost calculator on our website.

### Can it connect to our ERP, CRM and email?

Yes. We deploy the solution to your environment and connect it to your ERP, CRM, document storage and email, then tune it on live documents. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is limited by role, and processing can run in your own cloud account or region when the data requires it.
