Business problem
Automate PDF processing
Documents are identified, extracted, reviewed and passed into the right process.
IN YOUR BUSINESS CONTEXT
Structure document and approval processes
Starting point
Attachments are saved repeatedly, PDF data is retyped and approvals can only be reconstructed from email threads.
Engineering approach
A digital workflow assigns documents to records, extracts relevant data and routes reviews. Existing DMS and storage are included; uncertain extractions require human review.
Potential value
Less searching and traceable progress for the people responsible.
- Layout variations are handled robustly.
- Uncertainty is surfaced rather than hidden.
- Original and extracted data remain linked.
APPROACH / WITH BUSINESS TEAMS AND IT
From requirements to a production system.
- 01
Analysis & process understanding
We clarify current workflows, goals and exceptions with business teams and IT, mapping existing systems and responsibilities.
- 02
Design & software architecture
Data models, interfaces, roles and usability are planned together. Privacy and operations inform technical decisions.
- 03
Development & integration
Reviewable development increments enable business feedback. Tests cover data transfers, permissions and critical workflows.
- 04
Rollout & further development
Migration, documentation and handover are planned around ongoing operations. Support scope and responsibilities are agreed within the project.
Common questions
When does automate pdf processing make sense?+
When the current workflow repeatedly costs time, quality or visibility and standard software cannot model the core process well.
Can BuildBP integrate existing systems?+
Yes. Interfaces, data ownership and failure cases are planned as part of the solution, not added later.
How long does development take?+
It depends on the process, integrations and risk. A focused discovery produces a dependable scope with prioritised releases.
