It reads, sorts and extracts the information that matters in seconds.
Outcome
Reduced operational cost
Automating how documents are taken in, sorted and read
Prove it
It reports and checks every answer, identifying risks, obligations and renewals ahead of time.
Outcome
Fewer errors, less risk
Automatic checks, confidence scores and a human review of anything uncertain with every answer being traced back to its source.
Act
Respond faster to customers and stakeholders with proof that backs up every decision.
Outcome
Improved service
Onboarding, approvals, invoices and claims move in minutes
Getting started is simple
We've seen skilled teams spend their days on exports, filing and data entry instead of judgement. So we start small and prove it first.
Steps: 1 Book a demo, see it work on sample documents. 2 Run a pilot, try it on part of your own documents. 3 Roll it out, read, prove and act across every document.
What our document
automation has delivered
Two distinct use cases for a specialty insurer, both on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, with a person on every decision.
Specialty insurerIn production
Sanctions screening
~10x faster screening, from hours to minutes
Live across underwriting, claims and finance, with an audit trail of who screened what and what was decided.
How we did it
Challenge: Every check meant manual provider queries, exports, filing and summary emails.
Approach: Screening calls, exports and filing automated. Summary emails drafted. A review panel makes the final call on any match.
Specialty insurerDelivered
Claims triage and correspondence
~90% less handling time per low-value claim
About 2 minutes per claim, down from 15 to 20. The handler approves every email before it goes.
How we did it
Challenge: Claim details arrived scattered across emails, PDFs and systems. Skilled handlers spent their days on triage and data entry.
Approach: A small team of narrow agents for intake, triage and correspondence, with the handler in charge of every decision.

FAQ
What is intelligent document processing?
Intelligent document processing (IDP) uses AI to read, sort and extract the information that matters from contracts, claims, invoices, forms, emails and reports. It checks every answer and shows where it came from, so the results can safely drive automation, reporting and AI.
How does intelligent document data extraction work?
Documents are picked up from where they already sit and classified. The information that matters is extracted, cross-checked and given a confidence score, and a person reviews anything uncertain. The structured data then feeds automation, reporting and AI.
What type of documents can be extracted?
Most business documents, digital or scanned: PDFs, Word files and spreadsheets, as well as emails, chat logs and meeting transcripts. Typical examples are contracts, claims, applications, invoices, forms and reports. If you have something more specialised, such as engineering drawings, medical records or images, talk to us and we'll test it on your documents first.
How does it track renewals and notice periods?
Information including renewal dates, notice periods and legal obligations can be extracted automatically and confidence scored, so upcoming deadlines are visible before they pass.
How is it governed?
A full audit trail is built in: who did what, when, and what was decided. Every answer is traced back to the page it came from, access is controlled, and a person reviews anything uncertain.
Where do our documents stay?
Documents are read from where they already sit, and processed on Databricks under your existing access controls. Before a pilot starts, we confirm with you which region each processing step runs in, so it meets your data residency requirements.
What does a pilot involve?
Our forward deployed engineers, who specialise in taking AI into production, work alongside your team on your own documents. Together we agree which information matters to your business and what it should drive next, such as a renewal alert, a claims decision or a report. We set up the Intelligent Document Processing accelerator, run it on a representative sample of your documents, and measure the results against answers your team has checked. You come away with data you can act on, real figures for accuracy and cost, and a clear plan for going into production.
