The problem it solves

You receive test or inspection reports as PDFs, and getting that data into a spreadsheet means retyping numbers, serial numbers, and dates by hand. That manual entry is slow and it's easy to transpose a number or misread a decimal.

Who it fits

A business that regularly receives PDF test, inspection, or measurement reports and needs the data in a spreadsheet.

How it works

  1. A PDF report comes in and its text is extracted
  2. The automation reads the header details and the data rows
  3. It cleans up numbers, serial numbers, and product names
  4. It builds a finished Excel file with the data organized into sheets
