Partnership Announcement: DX OCR and DirectCloud
Hammock Inc., based in Shinjuku, Tokyo, has announced an exciting collaboration between its AI-OCR service,
DX OCR, and the cloud storage solution
DirectCloud, offered by DirectCloud Inc. This partnership aims to enhance the efficiency of document management without the need for intricate form designs.
DX OCR: Revolutionizing Data Entry
The DX OCR service simplifies data entry tasks, addressing a critical gap in the order processing landscape. Traditionally, extracting information from documents such as order forms or invoices required painstaking manual input. Even with OCR technology, inaccuracies in data capture necessitated further adjustments by users. This was further complicated by the recent amendments to Japan's
Electronic Bookkeeping Act, which mandates strict compliance with electronic document retention standards. The burden of these regulations particularly affects small to medium-sized enterprises.
In a survey conducted by Hammock in May 2024, it was found that many companies still rely heavily on manual processes for data verification and file management, which hinders overall operational efficiency. The collaboration with DirectCloud promises to alleviate these challenges, reducing the labor involved in order processing and providing a secure environment for effective data management. This partnership also ensures compliance with the latest electronic record-keeping laws while enhancing data accessibility.
Key Features of DX OCR
DX OCR distinguishes itself by not requiring form design or complex setups, effectively converting all types of written information—including handwritten notes—into digital data seamlessly. As part of the broader DX initiative, the service is designed to extract crucial information hidden in vast amounts of paperwork or images, significantly improving operational efficiency and automation across various industries. Furthermore, it is compatible with devices from multiple manufacturers, making it accessible to a wide range of customer bases.
