A US telecom company dealing with high volumes of documents with complex business requirements deployed a GenAI-powered Intelligent Document Processing (with OCR) workflow to streamline the process, enabling 24/7 operations and 5X faster document processing.

About the customer

A US telecom company specializing in distributing mobile phone products and providing wireless solutions
Industry:
Telecom, Media & Communications

Manual processes and high document volumes had put a spanner in the works for the telecom company. The business specialized in distributing mobile phone products and providing wireless solutions and needed to process documents quickly and accelerate customer onboarding. Cloud Kinetics implemented a GenAI-powered Document Processing workflow to streamline the process.

Challenge

Shackled by slow and resource-intensive manual processes

The American telecom business had to handle 600,000 proof documents every month. In the absence of automation, this was tedious and cumbersome. Often, approvals met with delays, and users were hit with delays in onboarding.

The company faced difficulties in verifying user applications for specific programs due to:

  • High volume of proof documents (600,000 monthly), that made processing slow and resource-intensive
  • Delayed application approvals, which in turn impacted user onboarding
  • Manual reviews that were prone to errors, affected accuracy and compliance
  • 80 different proof types that had to be handled, each with complex business requirements

Solution

Intelligent Document Processing (with OCR) for automatic scaling and high availability

The company needed a solution that would handle the different proof types along with the complex business requirements associated with them. To meet this requirement, coupled with the high volumes being processed, the solution had to leverage automation and AI to enable scalability and high availability.

Cloud Kinetics proposed a GenAI-powered Document Processing Workflow with some notable features:

  • Efficiently extracts text while assessing input document readability with a confidence score
  • Accurately distinguishes between various document types
  • Intelligent entity extraction, delivers outputs in the desired format
  • API-based architecture with automatic scaling and high availability

Success Metrics

5X faster document processing and accelerated customer onboarding with IDP

This Intelligent Document Processing (OCR) capability, built with Cloud Kinetics’ expertise, has helped drive significant efficiency gains for the company.

5x faster document processing: Application review time cut from 5 minutes to under 30 seconds

Accelerated customer onboarding: Reduced time from days to less than an hour

90% fewer manual reviewers: Empowered staff to focus on other more important tasks

24/7 operation: Eliminated dependency on manual reviewers for round-the-clock verification

The company transformed what was once a manual, labour intensive bottleneck into an opportunity with intelligent automation. This newfound agility and scalability, along with the bandwidth now freed up for its valuable human resources, will help the company use its staff to focus on high-impact work that can drive business growth.
