Document Automation

The Challenge

An engineering and consulting firm was drowning in complex RFPs and invoices. Proposal teams spent days manually extracting requirements from multi-page documents, validating them against company policies, and preparing proposals—all while racing against tight SLAs.

Extraction errors were common, leading to costly mistakes in proposals. The manual bottleneck was limiting their capacity to respond to new opportunities and impacting revenue growth.

Our Solution

We built a multi-agent system that automates the entire document workflow from ingestion to ERP synchronization. Documents arrive via email or S3, undergo OCR and semantic extraction, are validated against business rules, and require human approval before final posting to the ERP system.

Technology Stack

Document Processing & Backend

  • Azure Blob/R2 for document storage
  • TrOCR/Tesseract for OCR
  • FastAPI + Pydantic for APIs
  • Cerbos for policy management
  • OpenAI/Claude for extraction

Frontend & Orchestration

  • Next.js for approval UI
  • Redis for job queuing
  • LangChain/LangGraph for agents
  • n8n for workflow automation
  • ERP API integration

Intelligent OCR & Extraction

Advanced OCR combined with semantic extraction to accurately read and structure data from complex RFPs and invoices.

Policy Validation

Automated validation against company policies and rules using Cerbos, ensuring compliance before human review.

Human-in-the-Loop

Streamlined approval interface where humans review, correct, and approve extracted data before ERP sync.

ERP Synchronization

Seamless API integration that automatically posts approved documents to the ERP system with full auditability.

The Results

The automated document workflow delivered immediate improvements in turnaround time, accuracy, and capacity, allowing the consulting firm to scale their proposal operations without adding headcount.
