Is there a better tool available to parse Customer POs than Docparser?
Docparser has defined areas to scan pdfs and if the customer deviates from their format(in some cases they do), the order is not parsed correctly.
Thanks
Epicor (Ancora) IDC can probably do it. Most people (like us) use it for invoices, but you can make whatever document type you want and the “AI” can guess where it’s getting stuff from. It’s more flexible in that it doesn’t have to look in a defined area. But it comes with a tradeoff in that sometimes it guesses wrong. The UI however is decent for dealing with documents that don’t read correctly. If you’re documents are pretty consistent, I would think it would work pretty well.

Also check out Azure Document Intelligence.
We use it for our invoices, but it also says it can handle sales orders and purchase orders with the prebuilt models.
Super cheap to get started as they charge per page processed. We are still ramping up with using it, but so far it has cost us no more than $75/mo for a good chunk of our invoices

To @Banderson point we have sales order automation which uses IDC to do this and can enter massive POs once trained very quickly.

The prebuilt model handles most of our suppliers without any training. Some of our main suppliers we have trained some custom models for so we get more accurate results.
