Document automation: Fewer manual tasks, more control
Document automation uses rules, workflows and technology to receive, classify, check, notify and archive documents without manual intervention. When you have many contractors and workers, it also stops expiry dates and pending items from depending on spreadsheets.
In brief
What document automation can ensure
Automation does not remove control. Instead, it makes control consistent and easy to demonstrate in an audit.
01
Expiry date alerts
Warnings before documents expire, as well as automatic reminders to the people responsible.
02
Automatic statuses and routing
The status changes as soon as a requirement is fulfilled or lapses. Each document then goes to the right validator.
03
AI data extraction
Reading and classification with artificial intelligence, with human oversight at critical points.
04
Traceability
The platform records every action: who validated each document and when.

How AISP helps
Map first, automate later
First, AISP maps the process, decides which tasks to automate and configures the workflows on the platform. However, ambiguous or high-risk cases still go through specialist validation.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Which processes should you automate first?
Those with stable rules and high volumes, such as expiry date management, contractor approval and the receipt of worker documents.
What should you avoid automating?
Ambiguous or high-risk situations. In those cases, specialists remain in charge of validation.
Doesn't automation mean losing control?
Not if you design the process well. Every action stays on record, and human oversight remains at critical points.
How much time does your team spend on repetitive tasks?
Show us your process. We will help you decide what to automate and what should stay in the hands of specialists.
