AI powered document management   

What is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)? 

IDP uses AI to automate data capture and workflow routing from documents like invoices, contracts and emails. By combining Optical Character Recognition (OCR), machine learning and natural language processing, IDP reduces manual effort by up to 80% and cuts processing time by up to 70%. It integrates with systems such as Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and document management platforms, helping organisations streamline operations, reduce errors and enhance compliance - boosting efficiency and scalability across all document-driven processes. 

Ricoh's Intelligent Document Processing integrates seamlessly with systems such as DocuWare, SAP and Microsoft, helping organisations streamline operations, minimise errors and ensure compliance - boosting efficiency and scalability across all document-driven processes.
