Documents Processed
Handles 10M+ documents monthly at scale
A fortune 500 insurance company processed claims manually, with each claim requiring 2-3 hours of human review. Claims processors spent their time extracting data from PDFs, emails, and handwritten forms—work that was repetitive, error-prone, and expensive. The company aimed to reduce claims processing time from 5-7 days to 24 hours while maintaining accuracy and compliance.
We built a comprehensive AI-powered document processing system combining OCR, layout analysis, NLP, and custom ML models: - Multi-modal document understanding with document classification and key field extraction - Intelligent document routing based on document type and complexity - Confidence scoring with human-in-the-loop for review - Integration with legacy claims management system via API - Comprehensive audit trail for compliance and explainability
The insurance claims process was a clear example of where AI could have dramatic impact. The company processed 2M+ claims annually, each requiring significant manual work. Beyond the direct cost, the slow processing time was hurting customer satisfaction and creating cash flow issues for policyholders waiting for reimbursement.
The claims themselves came in multiple formats:
Each document needed to be classified, routed to the appropriate processor, and have key information extracted (dates, amounts, medical codes, policyholder info, etc.). The current system had zero automation—everything was manual.
We built a three-tier processing system:
**Tier 1: Ingestion & Preprocessing**
**Tier 2: Classification & Extraction**
**Tier 3: Validation & Routing**
The ML pipeline was the core. We trained custom models on the company's historical data:
- Finetuned LayoutLM on 50K labeled documents for domain-specific accuracy
The system was deployed on Kubernetes with autoscaling based on document volume, processing 10M+ documents monthly at peak load.
- Claims processing accelerated from 5-7 days to 24 hours (sometimes <1 hour for simple claims)
The company was able to hire back the freed-up staff in customer service and claims investigation roles, improving both customer experience and claims quality.
