Intelligent Document Processing

Documents are converted into structured data.

Intelligent document processing automatically recognizes incoming documents, extracts data, and transfers it directly to the next step in the process.

  • Automatically recognize document types
  • Precisely extract relevant data
  • Transfer data to workflows without media breaks

LIMITATIONS OF MANUAL DOCUMENT PROCESSING

Optimise your document lifecycle with AI

Invoices, contracts, delivery notes: Many organizations have thousands of documents on file, complete with an archive date but lacking usable metadata. Anyone trying to answer a simple question, such as what term applies, which clause is in effect, or what amount is due, has to manually open document after document. d.velop AI changes that. Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) automatically recognizes document types, precisely extracts relevant data, and passes it on in a structured format to the next step in the process.

Through the standardized Model Context Protocol (MCP), we offer you both access to the features of the d.velop content platform and the ability to use third-party system features with your d.velop agents. Open interfaces ensure you can choose the right platform.

Intelligent Document Processing
in Practice

Address changes using AI-powered document analysis.

With AI-powered document processing, address changes become routine: The AI reads incoming documents, identifies relevant information such as the move date, and automatically feeds it into the appropriate workflow. Manual work is eliminated, errors are minimized, and processing times are reduced.

Automatically capture invoice data.

Incoming invoices and other business documents, such as purchase orders, order confirmations, and delivery notes, are automatically recognized. The document number, amount, due date, line item details, and quantities are accurately extracted and transferred to d.velop invoices in a structured format. The approval process begins immediately, without the need for manual data entry.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Intelligent Document Processing

What types of documents can the AI recognize?

Intelligent Document Processing at d.velop handles a wide range of document types, including invoices, contracts, forms, delivery notes, and incoming mail. The AI automatically identifies the document type, even when layouts and formats vary. For specialized requirements, additional AI providers from the d.velop ecosystem can be seamlessly integrated.

How secure is data processing by AI?

Data processing is carried out in accordance with the highest security standards and is fully GDPR-compliant. Customer data is not used to train external AI models. As a German provider, d.velop places particular emphasis on EU data storage and digital sovereignty. All processing steps are auditable and documented in a traceable manner.

Can the solution be integrated into existing systems?

Yes. Our AI is a native component of the d.velop content platform and can be integrated into existing system landscapes via more than 500 interfaces, including SAP, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and many other ERP and CRM systems. The extracted data is transferred in a structured format without any loss of data integrity.

Can I integrate other AI providers?

Yes. d.velop follows an open platform strategy with no vendor lock-in. The d.velop content platform allows you to integrate various AI providers, including Parashift, Otera, and Buildsimple. This lets you choose the AI provider that best suits your use case while remaining flexible for future developments.

What languages does the AI support?

The AI supports multiple languages, including German, English, French, Spanish, and many others. This enables its use in international organizations and across different regions without the need for separate configurations for each language.

How long will the implementation take?

Integration is typically quick and straightforward. Since our AI is delivered as a native component of the d.velop content platform, there is no need for a complex setup. The actual implementation time depends on your existing system environment and specific requirements. We would be happy to consult with you personally during a software demo.

What are the benefits of using IDP?

Intelligent Document Processing reduces the manual effort involved in data entry, speeds up processing times, and lowers error rates. Your employees are freed from routine tasks and gain time for activities where they are truly needed. In addition, data quality in downstream processes and systems improves noticeably.

What is the difference between IDP and OCR?

OCR, short for Optical Character Recognition, converts scanned documents into machine-readable text. Intelligent Document Processing goes much further. It understands the content in context, classifies the document type, extracts specific relevant fields, and passes the data in a structured format to the next step in the process. Where OCR delivers text, IDP delivers actionable information.

What software can help automatically recognize documents and extract data?

For automatic document recognition, classification, and data extraction, d.velop offers intelligent document processing as part of the d.velop content platform. The solution automatically recognizes document types, precisely extracts relevant fields, and transfers the data in a structured format to existing systems and workflows. For specific requirements, additional AI providers from the d.velop partner ecosystem can be integrated.
