Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.

How it works

Three steps to automated document workflow automation

No templates, no model training, no IT dependency.

1. Upload documents

Drag and drop PDFs, scans, or photos — or send them via API. Any format, any layout.

2. AI extracts data

Layout-agnostic AI captures header fields, line items, and tables — without templates or training.

3. Route to your systems

Send extracted data to QuickBooks, NetSuite, Google Sheets, or any system via API and webhooks.

What is document workflow automation?

Document workflow automation is the process of using software to extract, validate, route, and store data from business documents without manual intervention. Instead of employees re-keying data from PDFs, scans, and photos into spreadsheets or ERP systems, the software handles the entire pipeline — from ingestion to output.

Traditional approaches required building templates for each document layout. When a vendor changed their invoice format, the template broke and someone had to rebuild it. Modern AI-powered tools like Lido eliminate this problem entirely — they understand document structure without pre-built templates.

The business case is straightforward: a single accounts payable clerk processes roughly 5-12 invoices per hour manually. Document workflow automation handles hundreds per hour with higher accuracy. For mid-market companies processing 500+ documents monthly, that translates to 20-40 hours of labor saved per week.

The best document workflow automation tools integrate directly with your existing systems — QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, Google Sheets — via API or webhook. This means extracted data flows automatically into your ERP, accounting software, or database without additional manual steps.

Frequently asked questions

What is document workflow automation?

Document workflow automation uses software to extract data from business documents (invoices, POs, contracts) and route that data to downstream systems automatically — eliminating manual data entry and re-keying.

How accurate is AI document extraction?

Modern AI extraction tools achieve 95-99% accuracy on structured documents like invoices. Template-free tools like Lido maintain this accuracy even when document layouts change, unlike template-based tools that break when formats vary.

Do I need to train the AI on my documents?

Not with template-free tools. Lido extracts data from any document layout without training or configuration. Template-based tools like UiPath and ABBYY require training on each document format.

How long does it take to set up?

Template-free tools like Lido can be set up in under 5 minutes. Template-based enterprise tools typically require 1-4 weeks of configuration and training.

Can document workflow automation integrate with my ERP?

Yes. Most tools offer API integrations, webhooks, or native connectors for popular ERPs like QuickBooks, NetSuite, SAP, and Xero. Lido also integrates with Google Sheets and Zapier for flexible routing.
