These fields, including transaction dates, amounts, descriptions, and card numbers, offer detailed insights into financial activities. Analyzing this data manually is not only labor-intensive but also limits the depth of insights that can be gleaned. We’ll explore how automated extraction of transaction line-items can revolutionize financial analysis, from enhancing fraud detection to enabling sophisticated customer behavior analysis and improving expense management.
