softgate enhancement package: Processing enforcement notices

Buying up enforcement notices is one of the many business areas of debt collection companies. However, due to the high personnel costs involved in capturing, processing, and investigating enforcement notices and the resulting fees charged by the authorities, this sector can only be lucrative if there is efficient process optimization. Enforcement notices, although semi-structured documents, always contain similar information and are therefore ideal for automated capture with intelligent software. softgate has created a process specifically tailored to capturing enforcement notices from versions 1999_A3, 1999_A4, 2002, 2004, 2005-10-01 (pseudo A3), 2011-01-01 (full A3), and 2017-07-01 (full A3, principal claim begins on the left-hand side). This process reads out relevant information fully automatically from the scanned enforcement notices using OCR. Thanks to the use of intelligent capture software, it is irrelevant in which position amounts or interest rates, for example, can actually be found. This means that considerably more enforcement notices can be captured, tagged, and transferred to downstream systems than would be the case manually.
