Connections integrates AI into one of its products for the first time: IDScanner for all types of documents

Connections, a leader in Romania’s digital transformation market, listed on the AeRO market of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) under the symbol CC improves the way data is extracted from all types of documents, with the launch of the latest version of its IDScanner application equipped with artificial intelligence. 

In the process of digital transformation of companies, the demand for software solutions that scan documents to extract information using artificial intelligence has grown significantly over the past year and continues to grow.  

According to data recorded by Connections Consult, interest in solutions of this type has seen an increase of over 200% since the previous year – 2020, when the company launched ID Scanner, the first such application on the market. As of 2024, the app is running in a new artificial intelligence-based version, with expanded functions that allow scanning of any type of document, including those not in standard formats. 

“IDScanner is aimed at companies that want to integrate a scanned document processing component based on AI technology into their existing or soon-to-be-developed systems. The Connections team puts cybersecurity first when it comes to product development, as it is an essential component when it comes to accessing personal data and beyond”, says Radu Marcu, Connections co-CEO. 

The IDScanner application can be easily integrated into IT ecosystems implementing complex business workflows.  

One of the strengths of this software solution is the integrated AI technology, which allows scanning all types of documents. European passports, driving licenses, or new format ID cards are just a few examples of documents whose information can be quickly extracted with IDScanner. I. It can also process even untyped documents, which until recently was considered impossible. This means that information can be extracted from invoices, consumption receipts, balance sheets, or any other type of document. 

The IDScanner application has been designed in such a way as to ensure maximum data protection, which is why all documents are processed in a virtual environment, so that they never come into the possession of Connections. 

Connections continues to invest in technologies such as AI-based technology and the highest level of working standards. Recently, the company has achieved a new certification in RPA (Robotic Process Automation with Software Robots), becoming a USN partner. This status confirms that Connections professionals have the right level of expertise and can deliver state-of-the-art RPA implementations consistently at the same level as the UiPath Professional Services team.
