Purchase order data extraction
An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract data from purchase orders.

Uploading purchase orders to the API
The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file of a purchase order to our API. Usually this is done from a mobile app, email, FTP or web application.

Image to text using OCR
As soon as a purchase order has been received, it is converted to a TXT file. In this step all the text from the document is extracted, but it is not yet structured.

Getting JSON output from the API
The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. From here the purchase can easily be processed into your database.
