Streamlining Operations with a Customized OCR-Driven CRM Solution

Automating 100% of manual work with advanced technology integration

This case study showcases how we created a customized CRM for Direct Counsel Australia to automate manual data entry, leveraging OCR technology to address challenges in managing large data from Excel spreadsheets and screenshots while improving client interaction.

The Challenge

The challenge was the reliance on manual data handling from multiple sources, causing time delays and errors. Direct Counsel needed a robust solution to access case information seamlessly and manage interactions efficiently without human intervention.

OCR Technology

OCR, or Optical Character Recognition, is a technology that converts different types of documents, such as scanned paper documents, PDFs, or images captured by a camera, into editable and searchable data. In this case, OCR was used to extract relevant data from images and convert it into usable formats for Direct Counsel.

How Did We Take on the Challenge?

  1. We identified the specific data management requirements and understood the challenges that arose from handling data manually across multiple sources.
  2. We designed a solution aimed at eliminating delays and minimizing errors by automating data entry and updates..
  3. Solution was built to seamlessly access case information from a centralized system, ensuring smooth, real-time interaction management
  4. The system is designed to automate interactions, making the process more efficient and reducing human intervention.

The Roadblocks

  • Developing a user-friendly interface was essential to ensure easy adoption by the Direct Counsel’s team, as a complex system could cause resistance and hinder efficiency.
  • Ensuring the CRM could handle large datasets without performance lag was critical to avoid delays and inefficiencies.
  • Integrating OCR to accurately extract data from images was a challenge, as any errors in OCR could lead to incomplete or incorrect data.
  • A smooth CRM deployment was necessary to prevent disruptions to daily operations and ensure a seamless transition.

Customized OCR-Based CRM Solution

We developed a customized CRM that has a custom table-making feature to enhance data accessibility and management. The CRM allows users to upload Excel sheets of large datasets; all the data will be automatically displayed in table form for all categories/menus as required by the client.

It also handles the functionality to upload your desired data along with images from which extra information is extracted through OCR, and once you upload, it will be saved in the database and will also be displayed to you in table form. Additionally, we incorporated advanced search capabilities to find the required data from the entire CRM whenever needed.
