The Highwind platform is an exceptional solution, particularly for small businesses like One Linkage that may not have the resources to build an in-house data science team.

Description

The Intelligent Document Engine is an API-first solution that scales with your business. It allows you to upload documents in formats like PDF, Excel, Word, PowerPoint, or PNG, and automatically extracts and validates their content using AI.

The engine is built for high-volume processing, capable of handling hundreds of documents in minutes. Each file is processed as a job, ensuring outputs are structured, validated, and ready for downstream use. Results can be retrieved directly through the API or explored via the lightweight testing app, making it easy to experiment before full integration.

Blueprints can be selected from defaults (e.g., invoices, purchase orders, bank statements, South African IDs) or created as custom schemas tailored to industry-specific documents like policies, forms, or CVs. The engine also performs smart validations, checking for required fields (e.g., invoice number, VAT, company name) and business rules before data moves downstream.

With speed, accuracy, and scalability at its core, the Intelligent Document Engine is ideal for organizations that want to eliminate manual workflows and confidently grow their automation capabilities.
