Document Automation

Document automation is the automatic reading, creation, or processing of documents — extracting data from incoming files (invoices, contracts, forms) and generating outgoing ones (agreements, reports, letters) from templates and data.

Why it matters for your business

Documents are where a huge amount of manual service-business time hides: re-keying invoice fields, filling the same contract template, copying data off PDFs. Automating both directions — in and out — often frees more hours than any other single project.

In practice

Incoming vendor invoices are read automatically and the amounts, dates, and line items are extracted into the accounting system; outgoing engagement letters are generated from client data with the right terms already filled in.
