Eliminate Manual Data Entry With RPA & Document AI
From invoice processing and OCR pipelines to robotic process automation for legacy systems - hire verified specialists who turn paper-heavy processes into automated workflows.
What Are RPA & Document AI?
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses software bots to mimic human actions - clicking through interfaces, copying data between systems, filling out forms, and navigating legacy applications that lack APIs. These bots handle the repetitive, rule-based tasks that consume hours of employee time every week, freeing your team to focus on work that actually requires human judgment.
Document AI (also called Intelligent Document Processing or IDP) takes this further by combining optical character recognition (OCR) with machine learning and large language models to extract structured data from unstructured documents - invoices, contracts, forms, receipts, medical records, and more. Modern Document AI goes beyond simple text recognition: it understands document layouts, interprets handwriting, classifies document types, and validates extracted fields against business rules.
Together, RPA and Document AI solve one of the biggest pain points in business operations: the manual movement of data between documents and systems. Whether you need to process thousands of invoices monthly, digitize paper archives, automate data entry into an old ERP, or build a compliance verification pipeline, this category connects you with specialists who deliver production-grade automation that pays for itself within weeks.
See it in action
A document scan, extracted in seconds
A real invoice scanned end-to-end - OCR pass, AI field extraction, and confidence-scored structured output. The kind of throughput your team will get back.
When Do You Need RPA & Document AI?
If your team spends hours on any of these tasks, automation can give that time back.
Invoice & Receipt Processing
Automatically extract vendor names, line items, totals, and tax from scanned invoices and receipts - eliminating manual data entry into your accounting system.
Contract Data Extraction
Parse legal contracts to extract key clauses, dates, parties, obligations, and renewal terms into structured data your legal or procurement team can search and act on.
Form Processing & Digitization
Convert paper forms, applications, and surveys into structured digital records. Handle handwritten text, checkboxes, and multi-page layouts automatically.
Email & Attachment Processing
Monitor inboxes, classify incoming emails, extract attachments, parse their contents, and route the data to the right system - CRM, ERP, or support desk.
Legacy System Data Migration
Use RPA bots to extract data from legacy systems that lack APIs - screen-scraping old ERPs, green-screen terminals, or desktop applications into modern databases.
Compliance & Audit Automation
Automate document verification, KYC checks, and compliance audits by cross-referencing extracted data against regulatory databases and internal rules.
Example Projects
Real project briefs showing the kind of RPA and Document AI work our specialists deliver.
Invoice Processing Pipeline for Logistics Company
Built a Document AI pipeline using Google Document AI + custom post-processing to extract data from 3,000+ invoices/month across 40 different vendor formats. Integrated with SAP for automatic PO matching and payment scheduling.
Insurance Claim Form Digitization
Developed an OCR + LLM pipeline that processes handwritten insurance claim forms, extracts claimant info, damage descriptions, and supporting documents, and pushes structured data into the claims management system.
UiPath Bot for ERP Data Entry
Created a UiPath attended bot that automates order entry into an older Oracle ERP system without API access. The bot reads order data from Excel, navigates the ERP interface, enters records, and logs results - saving 25 hours/week.
KYC Document Verification System
Built a compliance automation system that verifies identity documents (passports, driver's licenses, utility bills) using OCR + AI classification. Cross-references extracted data against sanctions lists and flags mismatches for human review.

Skills You'll Get Access To
Every professional matched to your project is verified in these core competencies.
REWORK indexes 9 specialties in this category, and matches briefs against them by name.
Scope & Timeline Guide
Three levels of scope to help you plan your build. Timelines and effort depend on document variety, volume, and target system complexity.
Single document type OCR extraction or a basic RPA bot for one repetitive task
Multi-format document pipeline or multi-step RPA with error handling and system integration
Enterprise IDP platform with multiple document types, compliance rules, multi-system integration, and analytics
Wondering what your build would cost?
Every project is scoped and quoted individually by a verified specialist, so you pay for your requirements - not a generic rate card. Compare live service listings from verified professionals, or tell us what you are building and get a tailored quote or a walkthrough demo.
What REWORK adds
The parts of an engagement that a directory listing does not cover.
Proof of work, not a profile
Specialists are verified against real repositories and shipped automations before they can take your project. The 4 trust tiers are earned on counted proofs, not self-declared on a form.
Milestone escrow
You fund a milestone, review what arrives, and release payment only when it meets the brief. Nothing is paid forward, on either side.
Flat 10% platform fee
One rate on every marketplace transaction, identical at every tier. There is no per-tier ladder and no percentage that climbs with your budget.
Paid where they live
Specialists are paid into local bank accounts across 71 named countries and 51 currencies through Stripe Connect and Wise, so the bench is not narrowed to wherever payouts happen to be easy.
