AI Document Processing
Stop Re-Keying Invoices, Contracts and Forms
Intelligent document processing reads your invoices, contracts, and forms, extracts the data that matters, validates it, and routes it into your systems — with humans in the loop where it counts. Built for UK SMEs, not enterprise budgets.
What AI Document Processing Covers
From capture to integration, we automate the document work that eats your team's time.
Invoice & Receipt Capture
Extract supplier, line items, totals, and VAT from invoices and receipts in any format, then push them straight into your accounting system.
Contract Review
Surface key clauses, dates, renewal terms, and obligations from contracts so nothing important slips through unread.
Form Extraction
Turn application forms, onboarding packs, and PDFs into structured data your team can use — without manual typing.
OCR & Scanned Documents
Read scanned and photographed documents reliably, including handwriting and poor-quality images, with confidence scoring.
Data Validation
Cross-check extracted fields against your records and flag mismatches for human review before anything is committed.
Routing & Approvals
Send each document to the right person or workflow automatically based on its content, type, or value.
System Integration
Connect to Xero, QuickBooks, your CRM, or ERP so processed documents flow into the tools you already use.
Audit & Compliance
Every extraction is logged with a clear audit trail and human checkpoints — built for UK SME compliance needs, not enterprise overhead.
Where It Pays Off Fastest
- Your finance team manually types invoices into accounting software.
- Onboarding means copying data from forms into multiple systems.
- Contracts get filed and forgotten until a renewal surprises you.
- Document errors and duplicates slip through and cost you money.
- Volume is growing and hiring more admin isn't the answer.
Typical engagement
- 30-minute document workflow review (free)
- Sample documents tested for extraction accuracy
- Prototype connected to your real systems in 1–2 weeks
- Validation against your records with human checkpoints
- Production rollout with monitoring and support
Who's Behind Simara
Practical AI, Built Around Real Operations
Lana Korzhuk
Founder & AI Automation Consultant
With 20+ years progressing from senior developer to Chief Operating Officer, Lana brings deep expertise in IT systems, ERP implementation, and operational strategy. An MBA in Finance, an IT degree, and postgraduate qualifications in AI & Machine Learning from Caltech give her both the technical depth and the business lens to design automation that actually works.
She founded SIMARA AI to give SMEs the same operational advantages that large enterprises build with six-figure budgets — starting with one workflow, proving the value, and scaling only what the numbers justify.
“Most SME AI projects fail because they start with the tool instead of the workflow. We start with the manual bottleneck, measure the cost, and build only what can prove value.”
— Lana Korzhuk, Founder
Operations First
AI only works when the workflow, data, and people around it are understood. We start with how work actually happens.
No Rip-and-Replace Thinking
We design around existing systems where possible — ERP, CRM, spreadsheets — not expensive rebuilds.
Human Oversight by Design
AI workflows should flag uncertainty, route exceptions, and keep people in control of decisions that matter.
Measurable Before Scalable
We start with one workflow and prove whether the numbers justify scaling. No commitment beyond what's proven.
