Inovai / Use cases
Every supplier’s certificate looks different.
AI checks the certificate against the standard; the operator handles only exceptions. At Favex, 10,000+.
Problem
Dozens of formats, twelve languages, and only some people know the standard.
What we’ll do
Extraction, limit checks against the standard, exceptions to the operator.
Result
Seconds instead of retyping, every value with its source.
How it works
Four steps; a person decides on the exception.

Step 4Confirmation and exportThe operator confirms certificates without warnings in one go; the data goes to ERP.Verified by a humanWhat changes
Seconds instead of retypingAt Favex, automatic extraction takes 28 seconds on average.
Senior staff handle exceptionsThe system handles the routine; experienced people deal only with nonconformities.
Volume without new hiresMore certificates doesn’t mean more operators.
When it makes sense
It pays off when
- Hundreds of certificates a month from dozens of suppliers
- A process where an error means a complaint or an audit
- There is a standard with limits and conditional rules
What to watch out for
- Accuracy drops with scans; OCR and a wider tolerance help
- An unusual supplier format may need an addition to the template
- Approving a non-standard value stays with the expert
