Document & data extraction

Turn incoming documents into usable records.

I build a process that reads incoming files, extracts agreed fields, and prepares them for your spreadsheet or business system. Unclear documents and unusual values go to review so your team can focus on the records that need attention.

Scope of work

What your project can include.

Your proposal confirms what you will receive, what I need from you, and how we will review the work. We choose from the areas below to suit your business.

01

Document intake

A route for the agreed file types to enter the workflow, such as an upload folder or mailbox.

02

Structured fields

Extraction into a defined format with consistent dates, amounts, references, and other required values.

03

Validation and review

Checks for missing information, duplicates, and inconsistencies, with access to the source document.

04

Useful exports

Approved records sent to the agreed spreadsheet, database, or connected application.

How the work runs

A clear plan, with time to review.

  1. Step 01

    Inspect sample documents

    We review representative files, including poor scans and unusual layouts, and define the required fields.

  2. Step 02

    Build and compare

    I compare extracted records with checked examples and refine the validation rules.

  3. Step 03

    Set up document review

    We confirm who checks flagged documents and how approved records reach your spreadsheet or business system.

Questions

Before we start.

Can it read scanned PDFs?

Yes, using text recognition where suitable. Results depend on scan quality and layout, so representative samples are needed before scoping.

Can every document be processed without review?

That should not be assumed. Missing fields, unclear scans, and unusual values can be routed to a person for checking.

Can the extracted data go into our accounting software?

Often, through a supported import or API. We agree the destination fields and any approval needed before posting records.
