Client Context

National insurance provider — claims and policy administration

A major Australian insurance company handling over 50,000 documents per month. Claims forms, policy applications, medical reports and correspondence — almost all processed by hand.

A team of 35 staff spent most of their day reading documents, extracting key data, and keying it into the claims management system. Error rates sat between 8–12%, turnaround was 3+ business days per document, and overtime costs were growing every quarter.

The Challenge

What needed to change

The volume was unsustainable. 50,000 documents a month, 47 different document types, and every one needed a human to read it, pull out the right fields, and key it into the system. Quality control meant a second person checking the first person's work.

Error rates were climbing. Compliance obligations meant extraction errors on claims or medical documents created real downstream risk. But the manual process was the error source — fatigue, inconsistency, and sheer volume were working against the team.

Turnaround was blowing out. 3+ business days per document had become the norm. Claimants were waiting longer, internal SLAs were being missed, and the operations team was burning out.

The Solution

What we built

An intelligent document processing pipeline that classifies, extracts, validates and routes documents automatically — with human review only for low-confidence items.

AI Classification Engine

Automatically identifies the document type from 47 categories — claims forms, medical reports, policy applications, correspondence — using fine-tuned GPT-4 models.

Data Extraction Pipeline

Extracts key fields (policy numbers, dates, amounts, medical codes) with validation against business rules. Low-confidence extractions route to human review.

Automated Routing

Processed documents flow directly into the claims management system. The right data lands in the right record without manual data entry.

Monitoring Dashboard

Real-time visibility into processing volumes, accuracy rates, confidence scores and exception queues for operations management.

In Practice

How it works

1

Document arrives

Documents enter via email, upload or API. The system accepts PDF, scanned images and structured forms.

2

AI classifies the document

The classification model identifies the document type and routes it to the correct extraction pipeline.

3

Data extraction and validation

Key fields are extracted and validated against business rules. Confidence scores determine whether the result is auto-approved or flagged for review.

4

Human review (if needed)

Low-confidence extractions surface in a review queue. Staff correct or confirm — and corrections feed back into model improvement.

5

Data flows into claims system

Validated data writes directly into the claims management platform via API. No manual re-keying required.
