Consumer lenders additionally benefit from efficiently processing personal loan applications generating a detailed evaluation of income and credit documents. The speed and reliability of these new practices can help lenders reduce errors and fraud risks.
How automated document classification with Ocrolus works
Ocrolus has completely changed document management through the three-step process, simplifying the organization and analysis of massive document types.
Step 1: Automated document classification
First, Ocrolus’ AI-driven technology automatically classifies documents. Whether dealing with readable PDFs, scans, or smartphone images, the technology achieves a remarkable 99% success rate across over 1700 document types. This efficient, automated initial process rapidly organizes documentation based on each applicant’s portfolio.
Step 2: Human-in-the-loop validation
Documents that fail to meet confidence thresholds during classification undergo further human review called human-in-the-loop validation. These documents are routed to the data classification and verification specialists at Ocrolus, who perform detailed data labeling and quality control, boosting the reliability of the classification process.
Step 3: Structured and clean data output
Following validation, Ocrolus delivers a structured output of labeled and indexed documents. The program generates a standardized, indexed, and labeled taxonomy, including notifications of inaccuracies or submission omissions. This helps teams discover additional administrative processes before routing documents for downstream operations.
Through this blend of advanced technology and human oversight, Ocrolus speeds up the decision-making process and improves the accuracy and efficiency of document handling.
