That Index Consulting automates financial document extraction and enhancement with Nanonets

The problem

That Index Consulting needed to onboard one of the UK's largest charities requiring indexing of hundreds of thousands of financial documents from global suppliers. Traditional OCR lacked the flexibility for data enhancement rules and the sheer volume made manual processing unfeasible—verification would have taken approximately three minutes per document.

First attempt

Traditional OCR required extensive training for new document formats, could not apply data-action rules, and was prone to misinterpreting UK PO codes—causing errors that would have required manual review of tens of thousands of invoices.

Data enhancement and validation
validation
“Data blocks proved effective in post-processing, incorporating checks and validation flags. Index utilized data blocks to format dates, numbers, and currencies and match information across two tables”

Export to MSSQL database
output
“Processed data was then directly transferred to their MSSQL database”
Reported outcome

Nanonets delivered over 90% document extraction accuracy with real-time export to the MSSQL database, and That Index can now process documents from different sources and formats while incorporating new data enhancement rules with minimal training.
