How Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) Saves 1,000+ Man Hours?

In every industry — from finance to healthcare to logistics — teams are spending a surprising amount of time manually handling documents. Whether it’s processing invoices, reviewing contracts, or entering data from forms, these repetitive tasks consume thousands of hours annually.

At Ibotix, we believe that time should be spent on more strategic work. That’s why we help organizations implement Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) to automate document-heavy workflows — often saving 1,000+ man-hours per year and significantly reducing operational costs.

Let’s explore what IDP is, how it works, and where those time savings come from.

What Is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)?

Intelligent Document Processing is the next evolution of automation technology. It uses a combination of:

• Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to extract text from images and scanned documents
• Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to identify patterns and understand document layouts
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) to interpret the meaning of unstructured content
• Workflow automation and integration tools to route data into business systems

IDP mimics how a human would read, understand, and process a document — but does it faster, more accurately, and at scale.

Where Does IDP Save Time?

Here’s a breakdown of how IDP drives real-world efficiency.

1. Automated Data Extraction

Manual data entry from invoices, contracts, or application forms can take several minutes per document — and introduces frequent human error. With IDP, key information is extracted automatically:

• Invoice numbers
• Dates and amounts
• Customer details
• Contract terms

This data is validated and exported directly into your system of record (ERP, CRM, etc.).

💡 Time saved: Up to 90% per document

2. Document Classification

IDP systems don’t just extract data — they also understand document types.

Whether you're processing a resume, a shipping bill, or a bank statement, IDP can:

• Detect the document type
• Classify it accordingly
• Route it to the correct workflow or system

No more dragging files into folders or misclassifying forms.

💡 Time saved: Eliminates triage and sorting

3. Higher Accuracy, Lower Error Rates

Manual data entry is error-prone, especially at scale. Typos, skipped fields, or misinterpretation can lead to compliance issues or costly rework.

With IDP, machine learning models continually improve with feedback and exception handling. That means:

• Better data accuracy
• Fewer errors
• Less time spent on corrections

💡 Benefit: Improved audit trails and regulatory compliance

4. Scalable Without Adding Staff

Need to process 10,000 documents this week instead of 1,000? With manual methods, that means more overtime or more hires.

With IDP, your system simply scales — no new headcount required.

💡 Result: Instant scalability without payroll expansion

5. Always-On Processing

IDP runs 24/7. That means:

• Overnight processing
• Faster turnaround times
• Quicker decision-making for your teams and clients

💡 Benefit: Round-the-clock efficiency

Real-World Example: Insurance Claims Processing

Here’s a common use case that illustrates the potential:

Manual Claims Processing:

• Volume: 50,000 claims/year
• Avg. time per claim: 15 minutes
• Total: 12,500 hours/year

With Ibotix IDP:

• Avg. time per claim: ~2–3 minutes
• Time saved: Over 10,000 hours/year

That’s the equivalent of 5 full-time employees — freed to focus on higher-value work like risk analysis, customer engagement, or fraud detection.
