How Anna works – the virtual clerk

Anna automates your document processes from start to finish: it understands content in context, checks against system data and transfers results in a structured manner to ERP, TMS or DMS. Ready to go from day one without training or templates. With transparency, traceability and clear collaboration between humans and AI.

More than field detection – Anna thinks for herself

Anna understands documents in context, checks across documents and makes decisions. She only involves her team in specific cases where there is uncertainty.

Traditional IDP tools read fields. Anna understands content. She recognises what belongs together – such as orders, delivery notes and invoices – and compares values with your master data.

Secure cases are automatically transferred to ERP, TMS or DMS, while open issues are displayed transparently. This provides real relief from day one, without templates or training data.

How Anna works

Step 1

Receive documents & data extraction

Anna receives your documents – whether scanned, by e-mail, as a PDF or from a system.

Scanned and handwritten documents can be processed by Anna without any problems.

Anna carefully reads the data from each document, extracts the relevant data and understands correlations like experienced clerks.

Step 2

Check & adjust

She also checks what she reads: Anna compares the values between different documents (e.g. delivery notes, invoices or consignment notes).

Anna pays attention to quantities, amounts, addresses, references and everything else that is important in her processes.

Step 3

Quality inspection & decision on further processing

Anna decides independently whether a document is complete and correct so that it can be processed automatically (straight through processing) – or whether it should be passed to a human clerk for checking (human-in-the-loop).

In the event of discrepancies that require clarification (e.g. an invoice that does not match the delivery note), Anna proactively contacts you and asks for clarification.

Step 4

Straight Through Processing

Anna requires no human support and automatically transfers the checked data to your ERP, TMS or DMS system – without media discontinuity or manual intervention.

Step 5

Employees are involved

If Anna is not sure about something – for example, if there are contradictory details or missing information – she informs your employees in a targeted manner.

Anna uses a web-based user interface to show exactly which documents are involved.

Step 6

Learn & Improve

Our virtual clerk Anna never gets tired, imprecise or impatient.

She can utilise knowledge gained from ongoing operations to extend straight through processing to difficult or particularly complex documents.
