Data extraction & structuring

Making the information locked in your documents usable.

Data extraction: invoices scanned and converted into structured data

Much financial information circulates as documents: supplier invoices, bank statements, delivery notes, contracts, scanned supporting documents and e-mails. We design processing chains that read these documents, extract the useful data, check it and organise it in tables or databases. The structured data then feeds your accounts, reconciliations and analyses without re-keying.

From document to data

Reading documents

Optical character recognition (OCR) and artificial intelligence models suited to documents in French and English, including scans of uneven quality.

Field extraction

Supplier, tax identification number, dates, amounts before and after tax, VAT, line items, order references.

Checks

Matching with purchase orders and receipts, duplicate detection, tax calculation checks; doubtful documents are flagged for review.

Structuring and integration

Data organised according to a defined model, linked to the source document and passed to your ERP, accounting software or database.

What we do

  • Inventory of the documents received and produced: types, volumes, formats and workflows.
  • Scanning and preparation of the paper archives to be processed.
  • Automated extraction of data from invoices, bank statements, payslips, contracts and forms.
  • Automated reconciliations: bank statements and accounts, invoices and orders, stock counts and registers.
  • Building structured datasets from existing archives, for an audit, a migration or an analysis.
  • Integration of the extracted data into your ERP or accounting software.
  • Human review of doubtful cases and measurement of extraction quality.

Our approach

  1. Inventory

    We identify the documents, the information to extract and the intended use of the data.

  2. Configure

    Reading models and control rules are tuned on a sample of your documents.

  3. Validate

    Results are compared with a reference entry; error rates are measured before go-live.

  4. Operate

    The chain processes new documents; doubtful cases are referred to your teams.
