• Removing any elements associated with the document such as clips or pins, extract the originals from briefcases, bags... and manually sort if necessary.
• Digitizing and scanning: The digitization process converts paper into electronic images through high-powered scanners and flatbed scanners.
• Optical identification: Configured to perform image processing, image validation and semi-structured recognition of formats, characters, marks, barcodes...
• Recording/verifying: The intelligent recording system manages to minimize the necessary manual keystrokes. Image quality control is also ensured through video recording.
• Expertising: Introduce specific rules, validation against database, validation against Host credentials.
