Use cases in practice
Senior RPA Consultant describes how he used the solution in live projects:
Invoices and bills of lading are received via email. The system extracts key fields from these documents — invoice date, vendor name, amount, currency, PO number, delivery note, etc. These extracted fields are then outputted in Excel format.
GenAI prompt is used to extract only relevant fields from both structured and unstructured sources.

We did a POC in the insurance industry. We also did some POCs around PO invoicing in manufacturing and banking, where we were ingesting invoices from email.
