Scanning & Capture

Paper Into Useful Data.

Scanning a document to a PDF is not the same as capturing it. A scan is a picture; captured data is a record your systems can read, route, and act on. DEX turns paper into useful data: scanning hardware to get it in, OCR to make it readable, and intelligent capture to pull the fields that matter and send them where they belong. The document stops being a thing in a drawer and becomes information in a workflow.

Scan

Capture paper and inbound documents at the MFP, at a dedicated scanner, or at the mailroom, in volume and at speed.

Read with OCR

Optical character recognition converts the image into machine-readable text, so the document is searchable and its data is extractable.

Classify and extract

Intelligent capture identifies the document type and pulls the key fields, an invoice number, a date, an account, automatically.

Route

The captured document and its data flow into ECM, into a workflow, or into a line-of-business system, indexed and ready.

DEXDOX

DEXDOX is DEX's scanning and capture offering, the front door that brings paper into the document workflow. It anchors the capture step so documents enter the system classified, indexed, and ready to route, rather than landing as loose scans someone has to file. Scan to cloud and to the systems you use Captured documents do not have to land on a local drive. DEX configures scan-to-cloud, scan-to-email, and scan-to-folder, and routes captured data into the cloud and line-of-business systems your team already works in, so the document arrives where the work happens.

Where scanning earns its keep

Healthcare digitizing patient records and intake forms. Legal capturing case files and discovery documents.

Accounting capturing invoices for AP processing. Any back office drowning in paper that should be data.

Each uses the same capture pipeline, tuned to its documents. Why scanning sits with ECM and automation Capture is the first step; storage and action are the next two.

DEX runs scanning into ECM for storage and into workflow automation for action, so a captured invoice does not just get filed, it gets routed for approval. One partner owns the path from paper to processed.
