As a GBS leader, you have a lot on your plate. Managing and delivering business processes across different functions and locations is a big challenge. You also face a huge amount of documents of all kinds. These documents can include invoices, contracts, purchase orders, receipts, forms, reports, and more. They can vary in format, language, and layout. They can have data that is structured, unstructured, or semi-structured.
Processing all this manually is a nightmare. It takes a lot of time, money, and effort. It also makes your GBS operations less scalable and flexible. That’s why you need a solution that can automate and optimize document processing using AI.
If you read this article is that you are probably thinking of Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) as the potential solution – Great job! -. IDP is a technology that can capture, extract, classify, and validate data from any type of document, using a combination of optical character recognition (OCR), natural language processing (NLP), machine learning (ML), and computer vision (CV).
IDP can help you transform your GBS model by enabling you to:
- Reduce manual work and human errors
- Increase speed and accuracy of document processing
- Enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty
- Improve compliance and risk management
- Unlock new insights and opportunities from document data
How to implement IDP in your GBS model in a simple and intuitive way?
Here are five easy steps to follow:
Step 1: Define your document processing goals and requirements
The first step is to identify what kind of documents you need to process, what data you need to extract, and what business outcomes you want to achieve. For example, you may want to process invoices faster and more accurately, or you may want to extract key information from contracts and compare them with your internal policies.
You also need to consider your technical and operational requirements, such as the volume and frequency of documents, the integration with your existing systems and workflows, and the security and compliance standards.
Step 2: Choose the right IDP platform for your needs
The next step is to select an IDP platform that can meet your goals and requirements. There are many IDP platforms available in the market, but not all of them are created equal. You need to look for an IDP platform that can offer you:
- A cloud-based, scalable, and flexible solution that can handle any volume and variety of documents
- A user-friendly, no-code, and self-service interface that allows you to configure and customize your document processing workflows without any technical skills
- A comprehensive, accurate, and reliable document processing engine that can capture, extract, classify, and validate data from any type of document, using the latest AI technologies
- A seamless, secure, and compliant integration with your existing systems and workflows, such as ERP, CRM, BPM, RPA, and more
- A transparent, affordable, and predictable pricing model that suits your budget and needs

Parashift provides you with a human-in-the-loop (HITL) mechanism that allows you to verify and correct the data extracted by Parashift, if needed. You can also use Parashift’s built-in validation rules and logic to ensure the data quality and accuracy. For example, you can check if the invoice date is within a certain range.
You can use Parashift’s feedback loop to improve the performance and accuracy of Parashift over time. Parashift uses your feedback and corrections to learn from your documents and data, and to adapt to your specific needs and preferences.
