Data is the backbone of every organization; when utilized correctly, it provides insights that businesses can rely on to make informed decisions. However, a lot of information is locked in technical reports and analyses, making it difficult to extract.
With Parseur, you can automatically extract that data without breaking the bank!
Digitizing technical reports
Before the digital transformation, reports from site audits were completed and stored manually. The construction industry, for example, was among the least digitized sectors. Over the years, with industrialization and emerging technologies, the industry has experienced a wave of change.
The need for automation and the adoption of new technologies have increased since the pandemic.
Digitization reports help companies evaluate progress and identify issues that crop up more efficiently.
What if you want to send that data into a database?
Manually searching for information in those reports is a time-consuming and tedious task, leading to delays in taking decisions.
Moreover, it was observed that 30% of the money spent in the construction industry was wasted due to repetitive work and delays.
Why is automated data extraction from technical reports important?
Let's take the example of a manufacturing company that receives regular technical reports from its suppliers about the quality of its raw materials.
Those reports are in PDF format, and the company needs to extract specific information and send it to another database for future analysis.
Yes - there's the manual way of doing it, but it can take hours, and we believe that you'd rather focus on other productive tasks. You can hire someone to do it for you, but is it cost-effective for your company?
The best solution is to invest in an affordable OCR engine tool that will automate the whole process.
