ClearDox

SPONSOR

ClearDox is a cloud-based SaaS platform designed to accelerate the digital transformation of the physical commodities back office. It is an intelligent document data processing (IDP) system that ingests documents and data in any format (even handwritten field tickets), parses the relevant data, then normalizes and reconciles the data before integrating it with downstream systems such as billing, AR/AP, risk, scheduling, and accounting

The software has been developed, tested, and implemented over the last eight years by a team of commodities veterans, who understand all too well the pain caused by paper-based, manual processes.

The use cases for the technology are broad because we can take any document and convert it to actionable data. It has been used in trucking and shipping logistics, airline fuel delivery, inventory reconciliation, brokerage reconciliation, and invoice validation and reconciliation. Commercially, it is the operational backbone of a leading global commodities merchant. Other users include Gulf Oil, and a large U.S. oil refiner.

For enterprises that must manually process large amounts of documentation, ClearDox offers an intuitive, intelligent document processing solution that transforms back-office operations from a cost center to a competitive advantage. ClearDox’ Spectrum IDP™ will handle all your data capture, normalization, reconciliation, and reporting—enabling you to save time, reduce errors and finally get the full picture from your data, so you can focus on more strategic initiatives.
