02 , The Problem

Why this needed
building.

Every business handling invoices, purchase orders, or quotes deals with the same pain: humans manually typing numbers from PDFs into spreadsheets. It's slow, error-prone, and a terrible use of people's time. Existing document parsing tools are expensive, brittle on scanned documents, and inflexible when format changes.

03 , Approach

How we
built it.

We built a lightweight tool that combines OCR with LLM-based field extraction. Upload any document — scanned or digital — and get structured data out. The LLM handles format variation without needing templates for every supplier. Output goes straight to CSV or an API.

Every business has a pile of PDFs they wish were spreadsheets.
