What is Intelligent Document Processing (IDP)?
What IDP is
Intelligent Document Processing is software that extracts structured data from unstructured documents using OCR and machine learning. IDP handles extraction but not execution. Autonomous Commerce uses IDP-class extraction as one input layer, then adds AI agents that validate against ERP master data and complete the transaction.
IDP in depth
Key terms
- OCR
- Optical Character Recognition: turning a scanned image into machine text.
- Layout model
- A model that understands the spatial structure of a document, not just its text.
- Extraction
- Pulling specific fields (PO number, line items, totals) out of a document.
- Confidence score
- How sure the model is about each extracted value.
- Human-in-the-loop
- Routing low-confidence extractions to a person for verification.
Proof points
- 99 percent first-time-right rate on autonomous orders.
- 18 percent quote-to-order win rate uplift after deployment.
- Danfoss processes orders in under 1 minute across 26 countries.
- Danfoss onboards new countries in 1 day instead of months.
Frequently asked questions
Is IDP the same as Autonomous Commerce?
No. IDP extracts structured data from documents. Autonomous Commerce uses extracted data to execute the transaction end-to-end. IDP is a component. Autonomous Commerce is the outcome.
How accurate is modern IDP?
Modern IDP combining OCR, NLP, and LLM extraction reaches 95 to 99 percent field-level accuracy on common B2B order formats. Confidence scores route low-confidence cases to humans automatically.
What documents does IDP handle in B2B commerce?
Purchase orders, RFQs, contracts, invoices, packing lists, claims forms, and proof-of-delivery documents. Format coverage spans PDF, scanned images, Word, Excel, and email body content.
