Nanonets automates passport and document data extraction for Dutch aviation HR firm

A Dutch aviation staffing company employed 60 data keyers to manually process 10,000 documents per month—passports, flight licenses, and resumes—at high cost, with low accuracy and significant inefficiency, compounded by varied image orientations, low-resolution scans, and multi-language content.

Outcome

The Nanonets OCR system fully automated document data entry with no human effort required, and the system learns over time so accuracy keeps improving.

What failed first

Traditional OCR tools including Amazon Textract, Abby, and Google Vision were tried but proved insufficient: they required extensive pre- and post-processing, could not handle multi-language documents or low-resolution images simultaneously, and did not support the client's custom data requirements.
