Intelligent document capture & classification

With Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), you can transform unstructured documents into valuable digital data.

Intelligent Document Processing: Automated document capture for faster processes and better decisions

Paper, e-mail, forms or scans – documents are the starting point for almost all business and administrative processes. However, their content often remains unused. With Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), unstructured information is automatically recognized, read, classified and transferred to digital workflows. This transforms unstructured content into usable data that controls processes, accelerates decisions and ensures compliance.

By using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and rule-based classification, documents can not only be captured faster, but their content can also be understood – regardless of whether they are applications, invoices or technical documents.

This makes intelligent document capture the key to end-to-end process automation and digital sovereignty – in administration, finance, energy supply and industry.

Faster throughput times

Higher quality

Fewer manual activities

Transparent and comprehensible processes

Use cases for intelligent document processing

Inbox management

Incoming documents are automatically recognized, separated, indexed and distributed digitally. This creates an end-to-end incoming mail process - from capture to forwarding to specialist processes or files.

Application and case management

Whether it's a building application, subsidy or citizen request: AI-supported classification automatically assigns incoming documents to the correct procedure. This reduces processing times and ensures transparency throughout the entire process.

Contract and invoice auditing

Contracts, invoices and receipts are automatically identified, data is extracted and transferred to ERP, DMS or workflow systems. This creates error-free, traceable approval processes - with an audit trail and compliance security.

Subject-specific file management

Documents are automatically assigned to the appropriate digital file - e.g. construction file, personnel file or project file. This creates a complete 360° view of all processes and saves search time.

Compliance & Governance

Audit-proof recording, logging and storage of all documents - including GDPR-compliant deletion and access control. This means you are always audit-capable and legally compliant.

Knowledge management & analytics

Structured document data forms the basis for evaluations, AI models and analyses. This makes information findable, linkable and the basis for data-based decisions.
