Intelligent Document Processing

DocuWare IDP Solutions

Businesses need data they can access in an instant, so they can stay compliant, find documents quickly, and keep workflows running efficiently. But until now, extracting data from documents has been time-consuming and tedious. Intelligent Document Processing with DocuWare IDP can automate data extraction and document indexing — but it still struggles with unstructured documents like scanned PDFs, email attachments or photos.

DocuWare IDP leverages AI to solve this problem. With its proprietary Document Models and Generative AI (GenAI)-based extraction, it can interpret and uncover data even from complex or unstructured documents. This improves accuracy and ensures that relevant data is extracted — all without pre-defined templates. Documents are classified and indexed correctly and processed automatically. The result is a flexible, intelligent process that adapts to your documents, ensuring accuracy and efficiency every time.

AUTOMATION

The three pillars of document automation

1

Automatic document splitting

Documents are identified and separated automatically — even in large batches or mixed file sets. This ensures that every document is processed individually and correctly from the start.
2

Smart classification

Each document is automatically analysed and assigned to the correct category. Whether invoice, contract, or form — DocuWare IDP recognises document types and routes them to the appropriate process with no manual effort.
3

Precise data extraction

Relevant information is extracted with up to 97% accuracy, regardless of format or layout. Key data is immediately available for downstream workflows and automation.

Gen AI Extraction

The power of GenAI: Taking extraction technology to the next level

DocuWare-AI-Star_IDP_sm

GenAI extraction makes the difference

With GenAI, DocuWare IDP’s extraction technology is continuously evolving. AI further shifts the focus towards what ultimately matters most: delivering a precise and structured final result. Users can define the fields they need, guide the model with natural language descriptions, and quickly test and refine results without an initial training step.

Zero Shot Extraction

For fast and efficient setup, define fields and immediately receive structured extraction results, without any prior training or time-consuming annotation.
data_white

Training with existing data

Existing DocuWare documents and index values can be used directly for training, allowing faster setup without needing to manually label training data.
automated_process_white

Continuous improvement through validation

Corrections from validation are directly fed into future training cycles, continuously improving model performance over time.
Data Matching

Master Data Matching for more consistent results

For organisations, what matters is not just the information contained in documents; above all it’s the quality and consistency of their master data.

Master Data Matching extends DocuWare IDP’s capabilities by automatically matching extracted data against existing master data using exact and fuzzy matching. This allows data to be validated, standardised and enriched from directly within the process, improving data quality and accelerating workflows.

DocuWare IDP Models

Your Data, Your Model

Pre-built models

DocuWare offers pre-built AI models designed for common document types and extraction scenarios such as invoices, delivery documents and document anonymisation. These ready-made solutions are easy to implement and can be fine-tuned with your own data for enhanced accuracy. Your data remains private and is processed locally.

Custom AI Agents

For fully personalised document processing, you can create custom AI agents tailored to your specific requirements. Define document classes (classification) and fields (extraction) yourself, or train agents directly on the structures and content already stored in your DocuWare file cabinets. If you have special document types within your processes or want to enhance an agent’s accuracy, you can create and train models based on your own data.

Example

An accountant processing specialised invoice formats could create and train a Custom AI Agent on their own data to improve accuracy for their specific workflows. This is just one example — Custom Agents can be built and trained for a wide range of document types, processes, and use cases unique to your business. This delivers a perfectly customised DocuWare IDP solution without extra effort or external processing, utilising your own data for maximum confidentiality and adaptability.

What our customers have to say about DocuWare IDP

FAQ

Frequently asked
questions

How does DocuWare's IDP solution leverage AI to improve efficiency in businesses?

DocuWare IDP understands the document more like a human does and therefore requires less instruction or manual intervention to complete workflows, increasing efficiency.

How does DocuWare IDP differ from traditional document capture software?

Unlike traditional software that handles only structured data, DocuWare IDP excels in processing unstructured data, handwriting, and poor-quality documents, providing greater accuracy and efficiency.

How do we know that the extracted data is accurate?

Our AI is based on a confidence level for every data point. Pre-built models come with 97% accuracy out of the box and can be trained for further customization and precision.

How do we improve the AI model?

Over 360 million documents have been used to train the model. You can continuously improve the AI model by training it further.

What is the primary difference between IDP and Intelligent Indexing?

Intelligent Indexing takes place before the document is stored in the file cabinet. The extracted data can be confirmed by the user, errors can be corrected and missing information can be added. This feedback continually trains Intelligent Indexing.

IDP typically requires training by a partner, which is typically a paid service.

Can DocuWare IDP be used without a document management system?

Yes, DocuWare IDP can function as a standalone solution for organisations that require advanced document processing without the need for a full document management system.

Is my data safe while using AI for document processing?

Yes, your data is safe!

All data is anonymised before it is used to train the basic model. Furthermore, the AI system never uses the entire document, but only a single, very small component of each document. The documents themselves cannot be reconstructed, nor can personal data.

DocuWare IDP is subject to the strict rules of the GDPR.
