IDP & IXP: Paperwork that powers itself

Documents that are automatically sorted, read and archived. Welcome to Intelligent Document Processing.

Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and Intelligent Xtraction & Processing (IXP) use AI to automatically extract, recognise and process data from documents, emails, chats and forms. Think invoices, contracts or support requests: IDP/IXP reads, understands and processes them, no manual data entry required.

Vaarwel stapels papier en urenlang documenten doorspitten, hallo real-time inzichten. 

What is IDP & IXP?

IDP: AI that reads structured and semi-structured documents (such as invoices and forms), classifies them and automatically extracts and processes the relevant fields into the correct systems. No more manual input — from document to action, fully automated.

IXP: An extension of IDP, with support for unstructured data such as lengthy reports, emails and chat conversations. Multimodal processing and system integration all in one.

The difference:

IDP = documents.
IXP = documents + conversations + context.

Both enable the automatic processing of information within your business processes.

Analogy:

Think of a digital mailroom assistant that not only reads documents, but also understands emails, interprets context and immediately triggers the right action in the system.

Why would you use IDP & IXP?

  • From invoice to payment – Automatically retrieve invoices with PO numbers, perform data checks in your ERP, and post directly to finance. 100% touchless.
  • Faster onboarding – Verify identities and contracts in minutes, not days.
  • Smarter claims and support handling – Automatically sort, prioritise and complete cases, 24/7.
  • Compliance and audits – Search documents for risks, generate reports and ensure full traceability.
  • Data enrichment – Combine extracted document data with external data sources through integrations to enhance process output.
  • Process visibility – Automation also brings greater process insight. Analyse which customers invoice correctly and where improvements can be made.

The Ciphix-approach for IDP/IXP

At Ciphix, it’s all about building smart and scalable solutions:

  • Blueprint-first: we map your most valuable document flows through an “X-ray scan”.

  • AI skill blocks: pre-trained models (such as for invoices or IDs), optimised with your own data.

  • Human-in-the-loop: validation where needed, using thresholds and control steps. No black-box AI!

  • Seamless integration: output flows straight into your systems (ERP, CRM, etc.) via RPA and APIs.

  • Scalable like LEGO: easily add new document types without legacy complexity.

In addition, we develop:

  • Our own data pipelines that also improve data quality

  • Prompt routing for dynamic AI calls

  • Custom evaluation frameworks to increase confidence in AI output

Real-world example: Digital assistant for job applications

A client in the staffing sector faced a recurring challenge: processing job applications with a wide variety of attachments was time-consuming and required significant manual effort.

Our IDP solution:

  • Reads incoming job applications (email + 70 types of attachments in various formats: PDF, Word, Excel, etc.)

  • Classifies documents and automatically extracts 56 relevant data fields

  • Automatically populates the recruitment platform via APIs and RPA

  • Operates 24/7 and reduces time-to-market by 95%

Result:

  • 95% reduction in job application processing time

  • Faster placements

  • Lower workload and higher process quality

Conclusion

With IDP & IXP, you can automate document processing: from simple invoices to complex email threads.

The result: more efficient processes, greater control over compliance and more time for truly valuable work.

Documents and data that process themselves — that’s the future.
