Fully automated document processing with Document Capture
The basis for optimizing and digitizing processes is the transformation of analog documents into digital, reusable data. All relevant information from paper documents must be reliably captured and transferred to digital systems. There, they can be further processed in a structured manner and ensure the automation of processes as well as decisions. This fully automated document management process is known as document capture and represents an important solution on the way to a modern business and a sustainable organization.
It is independent whether documents, invoicesThe intelligent capture of data enables relevant information to be automatically recognized and assigned. Document Capture Software uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to assign the information of the paper-based documents and to process them effectively.
How does Document Capture work?
- Document is digitized as a scan or photo
- Relevant text passages are automatically recognized and read in
- Relevant information is extracted from scanned text
- Information is transferred in data
Save resources and optimize processes
The benefits of Document Capture are enormous. The ability to convert paper documents into digital data and thus simplifying their storage and processing opens up the possibility of optimizing processes through digital solutions. As a result, workflows can be accelerated, sources of error minimized, and resources sustainably saved.
Employees in particular are relieved by the modern solutions - repetitive, time-consuming work is taken over by Document Capture. For checking and processing complex cases, employees can access and process documents more quickly instead of doing this manually in a time-consuming manner. In addition, the scanned documents are automatically organized and categorized in the fitting business management software. This results in a meaningful filing and organization of documents.
Document Capture can also help increase the security of document management. By storing documents digitally, they are better protected against loss, theft, or damage. In addition, access to confidential documents can be easily controlled and prevented digitally. Assigning access rights can ensure that only authorized people can access certain documents.
