Related use cases
Finance operations
Invoice automation can extract fields, match invoices against purchase orders or contracts, detect discrepancies and route exceptions. The value comes from controlled exception handling and ERP integration, not from OCR accuracy alone.
Order processing
Order-entry automation can extract customer, product, quantity and delivery information from PDFs, email attachments or scans, then prepare an ERP record. The difficult part is resolving ambiguous references and exceptions without silently creating wrong orders.
