    Lack of Automation:

    With no automation in place for tasks such as invoice matching and approvals, the team spent excessive time on manual reconciliation.

    Solution Implementation

    Digicode’s Intelligent AP Document Processing (IAPDP) goes beyond basic character recognition by combining Optical Character Recognition (OCR) with advanced AI techniques, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML), to understand both the content and context of documents. This allows the system to extract not only text but also the meaning and relationships between different elements in the document, ensuring greater accuracy and relevance in data extraction.
