Why Veryfi

What is PO (Purchase Order) OCR?

Purchase Order OCR is an advanced technology that automates the process of data entry from purchase orders, invoices, and other business documents. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition, which refers to the ability of a computer to recognize and interpret text from scanned images. Purchase Order OCR uses this technology to extract data from purchase orders in electronic format and convert it into machine-readable data. This speeds up the process of entering data into a system, reduces errors, and improves accuracy.

Purchase Order OCR helps businesses to eliminate the need for manual data entry, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Purchase Order OCR also helps to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, as it ensures that all data is captured and stored accurately. Additionally, it provides real-time visibility into the purchase order process using data extraction, allowing businesses to track their purchases, inventory, and finances more efficiently. Ultimately, Purchase Order OCR is essential for any business looking to accelerate operations and stay competitive in today’s fast-paced business environment.
