Recherca Partners with JENKA for Enhanced Document Automation

In a significant stride towards modernizing document processing, Recherca Co., Ltd., headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, has officially announced a strategic partnership with Startia Raise Co., Ltd. This collaboration will see Recherca’s cutting-edge AI-OCR, RECERQA Scan, integrated with Startia Raise’s data integration tool, JENKA. With this partnership, both companies aim to streamline the automation of data entry processes for non-standard forms, reducing the burden of manual data processing.

Redefining Document Processing with AI-OCR

Recherca is committed to solving the challenges that businesses face in document processing through the implementation of AI technologies. RECERQA Scan specializes in recognizing and converting various types of paperwork into digital data, achieving high accuracy even with non-standard forms such as purchase orders and delivery slips, which can differ significantly in layout from one client to another. The integration with JENKA enables a seamless workflow from data extraction to online system registration, including formatting data into Excel and integration with CRM/SFA systems.

Businesses Revolutionized: Automated Processing

1. Automating Purchase Orders and Invoices

Upon receiving a purchase order or invoice via email, JENKA automatically detects it and triggers RECERQA Scan. This combination allows for precise categorization and digitization of the documentation. After processing, JENKA transfers the digitized information to related business applications automatically, minimizing manual input.

2. Streamlining Public Utility Bills and Receipts

When utility bills, receipts, or payment slips are uploaded to cloud storage, JENKA immediately initiates processing. The uploaded documents are converted into usable data through RECERQA Scan, which then transcribes necessary details into specified Excel files. This significantly reduces the need for manual data entry, providing efficiency in managing documentation and expense processing.

3. Simplifying Medical Expense Receipts

Medical expense statements and receipts scanned into the system are processed instantly, where RECERQA Scan extracts relevant information such as treatment dates and amounts. This data flows into predetermined databases or Excel sheets via JENKA, allowing for easier aggregation and reimbursement processes.

Why Startia Raise Chose RECERQA Scan

Previously, users faced challenges with conventional AI-OCR systems which required manual mapping of reading coordinates and layouts. However, RECERQA Scan stands out as a next-gen solution that intelligently adapts to diverse paperwork simply by receiving instructions in Japanese. Recognizing the potential to automate workflows effectively, Startia Raise solidified this partnership through a mutual sales agreement.

Recherca's Perspective on JENKA

For Recherca, the usability of integrated systems plays a critical role, especially since many clients operate the tools directly. JENKA offers an intuitive interface and excellent adaptability to other tools, empowering clients to automate processes without extensive coding knowledge. This effectiveness aligns perfectly with Recherca’s goal of reducing operational overhead for their customers.

Looking Ahead: Collaborative Efforts and Seminars

Both companies plan to intensify their sales activities and engage in joint promotional events such as seminars. They are also making the archive of a previous co-hosted webinar available, titled, “Essential for Those Disappointed with AI-OCR! A Comprehensive DX Seminar on Varied Forms”. This session covers automating data processing and system integration utilizing RECERQA Scan and JENKA.
