Document Capture Automation

Automated document capture is an essential tool for companies handling high volumes of incoming documents and data. While manual processing of this information has long been the standard across most industries, this has proven to be problematic, especially in the age of automation. Manually reading and keying in data from different documents and forms is tedious, time-consuming and often leads to entry mistakes, which can cost your business dearly in lost revenue, wasted labor and long-term strategic miscalculations. As a whole, manual document processing simply isn't an efficient way of handling data processing for large organizations.

Automatic data capture is the solution to the issues that come along with manual document processing. With automated data capture, organizations can avoid all of these dilemmas, improving your data management accuracy and efficiency while also reducing costs.

The Benefits of Document Capture Automation

While switching from manual to digital processes is a daunting task for many businesses, the return on investment is significant, primarily due to the problematic nature of manual document management. There are numerous risks associated with manual document management, from document loss and data entry errors to costly labor investments. Automated document capture solutions can help alleviate these issues and more, offering the following advantages:

• Improved Access: Paper-based data processing, by its nature, involves finding a way to store all that paper — which often means seas of filing cabinets and stuffed folders. While this system has worked in the past, taking up physical space with paper documents is unnecessary and often makes it difficult to find information quickly. Automated document scanning makes specific data easy to find, digitally storing it on your secure server for easy retrieval. As an added bonus, your business can get rid of your paper files and put the saved space to better use.
• Reduced Labor: Your employees are likely spending far too much time manually processing documents in your paper-based system. With automated data capture, however, you can reduce labor costs and direct your employees' attention to more important, more profitable tasks.
• Minimized Error: With manual processes, your business relies on a person to correctly read and key in data. All human intervention, however, is prone to error, especially when employees are overworked and handling massive amounts of data. With automated data capture, you minimize human contact with your data, effectively reducing the potential for error in your data collection, improving your calculations and leading to better accuracy overall.
• Better Security: Paper documentation for businesses often includes sensitive financial information that you should be protecting. While you can only secure physical documents with physical locks and visual barriers, digital systems can add another layer of protection of your data. These tools secure your information with encryption, so only authorized individuals can access it at any time.
• Improved Speed: All of these factors mean your business can do what it does best, but faster. Increase the speed of document capture and processing, so you can maximize productivity and get around to using the data in those documents to serve your company's interests.

Automated document input workflows produce quick, measurable ROI for any organization, but Artsyl can help take these benefits a step further with docAlpha.

A Flexible, Intelligent Approach

While automated document solutions have been available to companies for decades, today’s industry-leading solutions leverage intelligent process automation technology to minimize IT and implementation overhead and to ensure that any solution is flexible enough to adapt as business conditions change.

Intelligent Process Automation solutions for document classification and data capture are provided with a set of rules and configurations to handle 80%+ of document types out of the box. If exceptions are encountered, documents can be routed to a human staff member for further input/validation as part of the process. By taking advantage of machine learning tools, any input from a human operator is recorded and added to the system’s knowledgebase, so it can handle the same kinds of information automatically the next time it encounters a similar scenario.

As a result, rather than relying on your IT staff or a developer to adjust the system, your knowledge workers and subject matter experts can train the system on the fly.
