AI USE CASE
Document classification & smart routing
Classify inbound documents and route them to the right workflow automatically.
What it is
A vision+NLP pipeline reads inbound mail, faxes, emails and uploads, classifies them by type (claim, complaint, invoice, contract) and routes them to the right team queue with extracted key fields. Particularly powerful in public sector and insurance — cuts handling time by 50–70%.
Data you need
1000+ historical documents labelled with type and routing destination.
Required systems
- project management
- erp
Why it works
- Confidence threshold with human-in-the-loop fallback
- Quarterly taxonomy review with team leads
How this goes wrong
- Misrouted documents create silent SLA breaches
- Taxonomy that doesn't match team structure
When NOT to do this
Skip if your inbound documents number under 500/month — manual triage is fine.
