Document intake & data extraction
Claims, bills of lading, KYC packs and forms get read and re-keyed by hand. Extract every field, validate it and review by exception.
Why this workflow costs more than it should.
The problem
Claims forms, bills of lading, contracts, ID documents, medical reports and applications arrive by email and upload. Teams read each one, re-key the fields into a core system and chase anything missing. This work is slow, error-prone and grows linearly with volume. Hiring is the only way these teams scale today.
Market demand
Grand View Research values intelligent document processing at USD 3.0B in 2025, reaching USD 29.7B by 20332. Banking, financial services and insurance lead spending, and healthcare is the fastest-growing segment2. The same engine serves every document-heavy workflow, so one build can be reused across many clients.
Integration footprint
- Input: shared inbox, upload portal or storage bucket
- Engine: OCR plus an LLM that extracts data against a field schema
- Rules: validation against the client's business rules and reference data
- Output: CRM, claims, TMS or core-system API, or CSV
- Review queue: side-by-side view of the document and extracted fields
Five steps, one human checkpoint.
The agent does the repetitive work. People decide the exceptions. Every action is logged against the baseline.
Split & classify
Separate multi-document packs and identify each document type.
Fields to schema
Pull every required field, with a confidence score and the source location.
Rules & completeness
Cross-check the fields and request anything missing from the sender automatically.
Review by exception
Only low-confidence fields are routed to a reviewer. Straight-through rate rises over time.
Post & trace
Create the record in the core system, keeping a link to the original document.
What your team works in.
One screen for the queue, the evidence and the decision. Exceptions come with the reason and a suggested action, so reviewing one takes seconds.
What it could be worth.
Intake team of 6 full-time staff
We assume a loaded cost of USD 70k per FTE; replace it with the client's own figure. The saving range applies McKinsey's reported 20–40% onboarding-cost reduction to the intake team's cost. Capacity freed is redeployed, not necessarily cut.
| Baseline 6 FTE × $70k | $420,000 / yr |
| Low case (−20%) | $84,000 / yr |
| High case (−40%) | $168,000 / yr |
