Captova Technologies
Vancouver-based IDP vendor claiming 100+ pages/second processing speeds with on-premises deployment for government and defense markets.
Overview
Founded by CEO Mohamed Talib in Vancouver, captova-technologies has pivoted from SMB accounting automation to enterprise-grade IDP targeting government agencies and defense contractors requiring air-gapped processing. The company was named a finalist for Document Manager Magazine's "Data Capture/Recognition Product of the Year 2024" among 18 established competitors including Hyland and DocuWare, after winning "One to Watch Product 2023".
Talib claims their Captova IDP Engine processes 100+ pages per second (360,000 pages/hour) on on-premises infrastructure, positioning against cloud providers Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Tony McKinley, OCR expert, validated these speeds using output metadata on modest hardware (AMD Ryzen-5 CPU, NVIDIA RTX-4060 GPU). The company's pricing model eliminates per-page fees, charging flat server-based maintenance costs.
The strategic shift from Scanov QuickBooks integration for SMB markets to enterprise government/defense solutions reflects focus on security-sensitive environments including SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) and SAPFs requiring offline operation.
Key Features
- Ultra-fast processing: 100+ pages per second with 95% accuracy on on-premises hardware
- Single document training: AI models train from one sample versus typical 5-20 samples required by competitors
- Air-gapped deployment: Functions without network connectivity for classified document processing
- Real-time error detection: Identifies processing issues during document ingestion
- Multi-format output: JSON, CSV, XML for ERP integration
- Flat-rate pricing: Server-based fees without per-page charges
Use Cases
Government Classified Document Processing
Government agencies deploy captova-technologies in SCIFs and SAPFs to process intelligence documents offline. The system operates on bare-metal servers without internet connectivity, processes classified materials at claimed speeds of 6,000 pages per minute, and trains AI models on-site for immediate deployment.
High-Volume Enterprise Processing
Enterprises implement the IDP Engine for invoice processing and contract analysis requiring throughput over accuracy. The platform handles structured and semi-structured documents, generates output for ERP integration, and scales to claimed 360,000 pages per hour on single server deployments.
