Solution

Invoice Processing

For operations leads and data teams running high-volume invoice extraction: 100,000 scanned pages a day read without templates, every value deep-linked to the page it came from.

The problem

Why this exists

100K/day

Pages beyond a manual QA floor

100,000 scanned invoice pages arrive every day across many vendors and templates — quality-checked by an in-house, on-shore QA operation.

End of life

The OCR stack ran out of road

The desktop OCR product went out of maintenance and accuracy started deteriorating, with a fleet of per-template JavaScript parsers to keep alive.

5 fields

Stress fields break naive tools

The extractions that matter most are the ones that defeat OCR-plus-rules: dense line-item tables, vendor quirks, degraded scans.

How it works

File in. Answer out.

  1. 1

    Intake

    Scanned invoice PDFs stream in — multiple vendors, multiple templates, no pre-sorting.

  2. 2

    Understand

    Semantic and table AI models read each vendor's format without per-template rules.

  3. 3

    Extract

    Fields are extracted and normalized to the client's taxonomy, stress fields included.

  4. 4

    Audit

    Deep links connect every value to its spot on the page for one-click verification.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the outcome

QA reviewer

You confirm values in seconds; you stop hunting through scans.

  • Any value clicks through to the exact pixels it came from
  • Low-confidence extractions arrive queued, source alongside
  • Verification replaces rekeying as the day's work

Operations leader

Vendor churn stops being a maintenance backlog.

  • New vendor formats need no template work
  • 49 document types automated in one engagement
  • Throughput holds at 100,000 pages a day without a QA floor scaling with it

Product / data quality owner

The numbers you publish stand up to your customers.

  • Output normalized to your taxonomy, analysis-ready
  • Stress fields — the ones that break naive tools — extracted and proven
  • Every published value traceable to its source page

A US-based advertising tracking company delivers actionable data on activity and spend across FCC-regulated broadcast and cable media outlets. The raw input: 100,000 pages of scanned invoice PDFs every day, across many vendors and templates. The incumbent solution was a fleet of desktop machines running OCR plus JavaScript parsing, backed by manual QA — in-house and on-shore. Then the desktop OCR product went out of maintenance, accuracy started deteriorating, and the company needed to switch. To evaluate replacements, they defined a set of stress fields — the extractions that break naive tools — and asked to see how each platform handled them.

What Botminds built

Botminds built the model from base capabilities already integrated in the platform — semantic understanding, table AI, and related pre-trained models — instead of writing per-vendor templates. A taxonomy was created around the client’s stress fields, including the normalized values they needed downstream, so output arrived analysis-ready rather than raw.

In the engagement, 49 document types were automated across a set of 368 documents, with all 5 stress fields extracted — and every extracted value deep-linked to its exact location on the source page.

Why governed matters

The client’s product is data about regulated media spend, so a wrong number surfaces with a customer before anyone in-house sees it. Deep linking changes the economics of quality control: instead of re-keying or hunting through a scan, a reviewer clicks from any value straight to the pixels it came from and confirms it in seconds. Template-free extraction handles vendor formats that keep changing, and audit stays fast even at 100,000 pages a day — which is what replacing a manual QA floor actually requires.

Objections, answered

What teams ask us first

How accurate is extraction on degraded scans?

Semantic and table models read the document rather than matching pixels to a template, and every extracted value is deep-linked to its exact location on the page — so a reviewer confirms any value in seconds. Low-confidence extractions route to review instead of flowing through unchecked.

We defined stress fields to weed out weak tools. How did they fare here?

That is how this client evaluated the platform: 5 stress fields designed to break naive extraction. All 5 were extracted, across 49 automated document types in a 368-document evaluation set, each value deep-linked to its source.

What happens when a vendor changes their invoice layout?

Nothing that needs engineering. Extraction is template-free — the models read each vendor's format from the document itself — so format changes and new vendors arrive without a parser to write or a template to maintain.

Can this actually replace a manual QA operation?

Deep linking changes the economics: instead of re-keying or hunting through a scan, a reviewer clicks from any value to the pixels it came from. Audit stays fast at 100,000 pages a day, which is what replacing a manual QA floor actually requires.

Bring your stress fields.

Watch the extractions that broke your last tool come out normalized — each value deep-linked to the pixels it came from.
