Convert incoming information into trusted, structured data
Every day, organisations process invoices, forms, contracts, employee records and customer documents. Most are still captured by hand, classified into folders by memory, and searched through email chains. The time, errors and bottlenecks that follow are predictable.
What is less expected is that intelligent technology now does this work reliably, transparently and at scale. Daisy's intelligent capture solution combines optical character recognition, artificial intelligence and human review to digitise information, automate document processing and improve control.
When the system encounters low-confidence values or missing data, it routes them to a person rather than guessing. That balance between speed and certainty is the foundation of trust.
How intelligent capture works
- 01
Receive
Invoices, forms, contracts and other documents arrive through scanning, email, upload, supplier portals or mobile capture.
- 02
Classify
AI automatically recognises the document type and intent. A purchase invoice is distinguished from a credit note; an employee form from a contractor document.
- 03
Extract
Key information is identified and pulled into structured fields: supplier, invoice number, amounts, line items, signatures, dates and banking details.
- 04
Score
Each extracted value is assigned a confidence score. High-confidence data moves forward. Low-confidence or missing values are flagged for review.
- 05
Review
A person verifies only the flagged items, not the entire document. This keeps effort focused where it is needed most.
- 06
Route
Validated data is sent to the correct destination: finance system, knowledge repository, approval queue or archive.
What AI can do for your documents
AI-assisted intelligent capture delivers capabilities that manual handling cannot match.
Extract information automatically
Automatically pull supplier names, invoice numbers, amounts, dates, line items and banking details from documents. No manual retyping needed.
- Batch processing
- Multi-page documents
- Handwritten fields
- Varied formats
Classify and file correctly
Automatically recognise document types and route them to the correct location: invoices to finance, contracts to legal, applications to HR.
- Content-aware routing
- Confidence-based flagging
- Custom categorisation
- Policy enforcement
Find information with natural language
Search documents using plain-language questions instead of filing systems or email keywords. Get answers from the complete document set.
- Semantic search
- Cross-document summaries
- Trend identification
- Exception detection
Identify risks and exceptions
Detect missing information, suspicious patterns, approval delays and compliance gaps. Surface them before they become problems.
- Anomaly detection
- Threshold monitoring
- Audit trail logging
- Alert routing
Confidence scores and human review: why they matter
The most honest answer to "what happens when AI gets it wrong?" is this: it does not do the work alone.
Every extracted value carries a confidence score. That score reflects the AI's certainty about the data. If confidence is high, the data moves forward. If it is low, or if a field is missing entirely, the document is routed to a person for review. This is not a fallback. It is the design.
This arrangement solves three real problems at once:
- Speed - The system handles routine, high-confidence extraction without delay. Exceptions that need human judgement are prioritised, so staff spend time only on decisions that matter.
- Accuracy - No data point that the AI is uncertain about becomes part of your record. Missing invoices do not post. Wrong amounts do not approve. Supplier bank changes are not processed without verification.
- Accountability - Every correction, override and approval leaves an auditable trace. You know not just what the system did, but what a person verified and why.
In high-volume processes like invoice handling, this approach means most transactions process without human touch, while uncertain items receive appropriate attention from your team.
Intelligent capture for your industry
Intelligent data capture applies wherever documents arrive in volume and data must be reliably extracted and routed.
Finance and accounting
Extract invoice line items, amounts, tax codes and supplier details. Validate against purchase orders and supplier records. Route exceptions to accounts payable for review before posting.
Human resources
Capture employee onboarding forms, leave applications and performance reviews. Classify and file by employee ID. Flag incomplete submissions for follow-up.
Legal and procurement
Extract contract dates, renewal terms, parties, obligations and signature pages. Maintain centralised, searchable storage. Flag upcoming milestones and compliance deadlines.
Operations and business services
Digitise purchase requisitions, expense claims, travel requests and approval forms. Replace paper handling and email chasing with structured workflow.

What happens next
The first step is a process discovery session where we listen to how documents currently flow through your operation. We identify bottlenecks, error points and approval delays, then estimate where intelligent capture can reduce manual work and improve accuracy.
From there, we build a focused proof of concept with your highest-volume process. A successful proof demonstrates real value in your specific environment: your document types, your integration needs and your business rules.
