Managing and processing documents can often feel like a never-ending task. Whether you're dealing with invoices, resumes, contracts, or customer feedback, manually extracting important information from these documents takes up valuable time and is prone to human error.
But what if you could automate the entire process and seamlessly integrate it with the tools you already use? This is where UniAI by UniDoc comes in. With its powerful AI technology, UniAI helps businesses automate document processing, saving time, reducing errors, and boosting efficiency—all while integrating smoothly with Microsoft 365 (M365) tools like SharePoint, Power Automate, and Teams.
In this blog, we’ll dive into how UniAI can help you optimize document workflows and take your business efficiency to the next level.
The Problem: Manual Document Processing
Let’s face it—processing documents manually is not only tedious but also inefficient. Here are the challenges businesses face:
- Time-Consuming Tasks: Manually sorting through invoices, resumes, or contracts to extract key data can take hours or even days.
- Human Error: Even the most detail-oriented employees can make mistakes during data entry, leading to costly errors.
- Inefficient Workflows: With manual processes, businesses often encounter bottlenecks that slow down operations and reduce overall productivity.
This is where automation comes in. Automating document processing not only saves time but also eliminates errors, allowing your team to focus on more important tasks.
What is Automated Document Data Extraction?
Automated document data extraction uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to scan documents and automatically pull out relevant information. Whether it's data from invoices, resumes, contracts, or forms, UniAI can quickly extract and organize the data in a structured format like JSON, making it easy to integrate into your existing systems.
Here’s how UniAI works:
- Upload your documents: Upload any document type (e.g., invoices, resumes, contracts) directly to the platform.
- AI Scans the Document: UniAI scans the document and identifies key data points such as total amounts on invoices, contact info on resumes, or clauses in contracts.
- Structured Data Output: The data is then organized into a structured format (like JSON), which can be easily integrated into your business systems.
This process is fast, accurate, and consistent—ensuring that the data you get is reliable and ready for use.
Why Automate Document Processing?
There are numerous benefits to automating document processing, and UniAI offers solutions for many common business pain points. Let’s take a look at the main benefits:
1. Time-Saving Efficiency
The most obvious benefit of automation is the time it saves. Manual document processing can be incredibly slow—sometimes taking hours, days, or even weeks depending on the volume. UniAI can process documents in seconds, allowing your team to focus on more critical tasks.
2. Accuracy & Consistency
Human error is a major concern with manual data entry. Mistakes can result in missing or inaccurate data, which can cost businesses a lot. With UniAI, the data extraction process is highly accurate and consistent, eliminating the risk of errors and ensuring that you can rely on the extracted data for decision-making.
3. Cost Savings
Manual data entry can be labor-intensive, and labor costs are a significant part of a business’s expenses. Automating document processing with UniAI reduces the need for manual labor, which in turn saves money. The time saved can be reinvested into more value-adding tasks, like product development or customer service.
4. Scalability
Whether your business processes 10 documents a week or 10,000, UniAI can scale to meet your needs. Unlike manual processes, which are limited by human capacity, UniAI handles large volumes of documents with ease. This ensures that as your business grows, your document processing capabilities grow with it.
How UniAI Integrates with Microsoft 365 (M365)
UniAI is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Microsoft 365 tools, such as SharePoint, Power Automate, and Teams. This integration makes it easy for businesses already using M365 to implement automation without needing to switch to a completely new system.
1. Easy Integration with SharePoint
Many businesses use SharePoint to store documents like invoices, contracts, and resumes. UniAI makes it easy to automatically extract data from these documents stored in SharePoint, reducing the need for manual entry. The data extracted can be used for financial reporting, recruitment, or contract management—all within the M365 ecosystem.
2. Automation with Power Automate
UniAI integrates directly with Power Automate, which allows businesses to create automated workflows for document processing. For example, once data is extracted from an invoice, Power Automate can trigger actions like sending the data to your ERP system or CRM for processing. This helps businesses improve efficiency and eliminate manual tasks across the organization.
3. Collaboration via Teams
Once documents are processed and data is extracted, businesses can collaborate on the results using Microsoft Teams. UniAI integrates with Teams, allowing teams to easily share, review, and act on the data extracted from documents in real time. This facilitates quicker decision-making and more streamlined workflows.
Real-World Applications of UniAI
Businesses across various industries can benefit from automated document processing with UniAI. Here are a few examples:

2. HR Document Processing
HR departments can use UniAI to extract information from resumes and job applications, such as contact details, work history, and educational qualifications. This streamlines the hiring process and helps HR teams focus on evaluating candidates.
3. Legal Document Review
Law firms can use UniAI to automatically extract key data from legal contracts and agreements, speeding up reviews and ensuring more efficient workflows.
