Manual data collection and entry

For their price collection service, our client had their employees manually capture the price tags from various retail locations such as supermarkets. This required manual data entry which was another time-consuming, labour-intensive task. As a global leader in their field, they want to streamline their processes by using intelligent technologies such as OCR and ML.

Easy-to-use app with built-in OCR

Our team of highly experienced software engineers created an easy-to-use application, which automates the entire process from capturing and processing the information to storing it in the right destination. The end user can easily scan the label of an item whether it’s a bottle of milk or a sandwich and the price, weight, and size will be extracted from the image with OCR, image-to-text technology. With machine learning, the algorithm will be trained continuously to ensure maximum accuracy. Therefore, the more the algorithm is used, the better the accuracy.

Automating data collection with OCR technology

This technology is game-changing for the price comparison process for our client, as it can save time and resources significantly, as well as mitigate the risk of human error when it comes to data collection and entry. The project is in its early stages, however, there is room for additional features such as automated error alerting and more.
