Goals of the customer with the Docutain SDK

Goals

In its products StarMoney and SFirm for Windows, Star Finanz wants to replace the previous solution for extracting invoice data with the Docutain SDK, so that in the course of photo transfers the recognized data is automatically pre-filled.

Use case of the Docutain SDK

Requirements

A solution that imports invoices for OCR and data extraction on Windows and captures or imports them in the mobile Photo Payment workflow. The processing must work locally on the user's device.

Solution with Docutain SDK

Solution

With Docutain, the Windows applications import invoices for OCR and data extraction, while the Android, iOS and Mac Catalyst workflow can additionally capture them with the camera. Relevant payment data is returned to pre-populate remittance slips. The process runs locally on the device, so sensitive invoice data is not transmitted to a Docutain server.

IN PRODUCTION

Results

What the integration delivers in the StarMoney and SFirm payment workflow.

PRODUCTION WORKFLOW

Payment forms pre-populated automatically

Recipient, IBAN, purpose and amount are extracted from invoices and returned to the banking applications.

DATA FLOW

Recognition without an external server

Sensitive invoice data is processed locally on the device and is not transmitted to a Docutain recognition server.

PRODUCTION USE

Photo Payment powered by Docutain

StarMoney and SFirm use Docutain as the solution for capturing and locally recognizing invoice and payment data across mobile and desktop platforms.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE DOCUTAIN SDK?

High data security & quality


Docutain SDK client feedback Rainer Gibbert

"With Docutain's solution, we can offer our customers and users the option of simply photographing or scanning bank transfers. Docutain automatically extracts relevant payment data such as recipient, IBAN, purpose, amount and returns it to our applications. Here, the data is used to pre-populate remittance forms. The big advantage: Unlike other solutions, Docutain runs locally on the device and no sensitive data is transferred over the Internet, which increases data protection in our applications."

Rainer Gibbert,
Head of product development StarMoney @ Star Finanz


The goal: Increase application safety


Star Finanz made a conscious decision to switch from a previously server-side provider to Docutain's local solution. On Windows, imported invoices are processed with OCR and data extraction; the mobile workflow can also capture documents with the camera. These Docutain functions run offline and locally on the device, without passing invoice data to a Docutain server or third-party provider.
