Foresight Systems Ltd.

Working from Ealing in London, Foresight Systems Ltd. uses digital intelligence technology to automate business processes and handle large volumes of documents. Its experience in automatic identification of fixed and flexible layout documents runs to more than 15 years, and the firm says it can manage and monitor business process management, enterprise content management and document management processes. Its digital intelligence layer brings document and workflow analysis into robotic process automation, so that automation can handle structured and semi-structured data as well as simple tasks.

Invoice capture and mailroom automation

The automated invoice processing system captures every detail of an invoice, including header, footer and line-item data, and monitors each step of the accounts payable process. Mailroom automation acts as one point where business post arrives, whether as email attachments, scanned pages, PDFs or paper, and it routes the extracted data to the next step. The firm's own figure is that 70 percent of invoices are still received on paper.

ABBYY capture products and consultancy

Foresight works with ABBYY FlexiCapture for invoices, which recognises the data fields it needs from a wide range of document types, with stated measures for recognition accuracy, languages and forms processed per day. Deployments can be standalone or distributed, depending on layout complexity and processing settings. The firm offers two services: consultancy and advice on choosing the right solution, and implementation, integration, configuration and technical support. Its team includes certified consultants, programmers and technical specialists, and it is a member of the DMT Innovation Cluster.
