Transform unstructured documents into actionable business data with 99%+ accuracy. Enterprise-grade document intelligence that processes invoices, contracts, forms, receipts, IDs, medical records, legal documents—any document type from any industry. Built on Azure AI Document Intelligence with advanced validation, human-in-the-loop workflows, and seamless ERP integration. Deploy in hours, not months—no custom development required.

The Challenge

Critical barriers to document automation

📄

Manual data entry consumes 30-40% of knowledge worker time, creating bottlenecks that prevent scaling and costing enterprises millions in lost productivity annually.

Human error rates in manual data entry reach 1-4%, causing costly mistakes in invoicing, compliance violations, incorrect payments, and requiring expensive rework.

🗂️

Documents arrive in countless formats (PDFs, images, scans, handwritten, emails) with inconsistent layouts—traditional OCR and template-based systems fail immediately.

🔒

Sensitive data (PII, PHI, financial records) requires strict compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, SOX), but legacy systems lack proper governance, audit trails, and security controls.

System Components

Eight pillars of enterprise document intelligence

🔍

Azure Document Intelligence OCR

Azure AI Document Intelligence

Industry-leading OCR with 99%+ accuracy across 100+ languages. Handles printed text, handwriting, complex layouts, tables, checkboxes, and signatures. Supports PDFs, images (JPG, PNG, TIFF), scans, and office documents (DOCX, XLSX). Processes 2,000 pages in a single operation with automatic page orientation correction.

🤖

Pre-Built Document Models

20+ Pre-trained Models

Zero-training deployment with models for invoices, receipts, business cards, IDs (passports, driver licenses), tax forms (W-2, 1099, 1040), health insurance cards, bank statements, contracts, and mortgage documents. Extracts 50+ field types automatically with confidence scores per field.

🧠

Custom Neural Document Models

Azure Document Intelligence Custom

Train custom models for industry-specific documents (legal contracts, medical records, logistics forms, energy reports) using just 5 sample documents. Neural architecture adapts to layout variations without rigid templates. Supports overlapping fields, signature detection, and table cell-level confidence scoring.

🎯

Intelligent Document Classification

Azure Custom Classifier

Automatically identifies document types in mixed batches. Handles multi-document packets (email with 3 attachments → classifies each separately). Incremental training allows adding new document classes without retraining entire model. Routes documents to appropriate extraction pipeline.

AI Semantic Validation

Azure OpenAI GPT-5

GPT-5 validates extracted data makes business sense. Detects logic errors ('invoice total doesn't match line items'), impossible dates ('expiry date before issue date'), formatting issues. Cross-references fields for consistency. Provides natural language explanations for flagged items.

👤

Human-in-the-Loop Framework

Power Apps + Custom Review Portal

Confidence-based routing: <95% confidence → manual review queue. Web-based validation interface with side-by-side document view and extracted fields. Mobile app for approvals. Active learning: corrections improve model accuracy over time. Audit trail of human reviews.

🔗

Enterprise System Connectors

Power Automate + Logic Apps

Pre-built integrations: SAP, Dynamics 365, Salesforce, Oracle, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Workday. Custom webhooks and REST APIs for proprietary systems. Real-time sync or batch processing. Error handling with retry logic. Supports bi-directional data flow for status updates.

🛡️

Compliance & Governance Engine

Azure Purview + Custom DLP

Automatic PII/PHI detection with configurable masking rules. Complete audit trail (document received → extracted → validated → pushed to ERP). Compliance reports for GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, CCPA. Role-based access control (RBAC). Data retention policies with auto-deletion after configurable periods.

Data Flow: Document to Enterprise System

9-step journey from upload to ERP integration

1
Multi-Channel Document Reception
Document arrives via email attachment (sales invoice from vendor to procurement@company.com), uploaded through web portal, scanned via mobile app, or bulk imported from shared drive.
Document: 'Vendor_Invoice_2024_Q4.pdf' Pages: 3 Format: PDF (scanned image)
2
OCR & Text Extraction
Azure Document Intelligence Read API extracts all text with 99.2% accuracy. Handles multi-column layouts, detects language (English), preserves table structures, identifies handwritten signatures and notes.
✓ 847 words extracted
✓ 2 tables detected (line items + totals)
✓ 1 signature identified
Processing time: 2.3 seconds
3
Automated Document Classification
Custom classifier analyzes document structure and content to identify type.
  • Content analysis: "INVOICE" header detected
  • Layout pattern: Vendor info top-left, line items table, totals bottom-right
  • Classification: Invoice (confidence: 98.7%)
  • Route to: Invoice extraction pipeline
4
Intelligent Field Extraction
Pre-built Invoice model extracts 50+ fields using learned document understanding.
Key fields extracted:
  • Invoice Number: INV-2024-09876
  • Invoice Date: 2024-11-15
