Use Cases
Identity Verification Onboarding
Financial services firms and sharing economy platforms automate customer identity verification by integrating FormX.ai's ID extraction API into mobile apps and web portals. Users photograph government-issued IDs, the API extracts names, ID numbers, addresses, and expiration dates, and returns structured JSON for validation against customer-provided information. This accelerates KYC processes for banking, insurance, and rental applications across Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets.
Expense Management Automation
Corporate finance teams process employee expense receipts by submitting images through FormX.ai's receipt API. The system extracts merchant names, transaction dates, amounts, and line items, returning JSON data that populates expense management software fields. Automated extraction eliminates manual receipt transcription for accounting departments reviewing travel and business expenses.
Cross-Border Invoice Processing
Companies operating across Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan markets process vendor invoices in multiple languages and formats. FormX.ai's invoice extraction captures invoice numbers, dates, vendor details, line items, and totals from varied layouts. Extracted data feeds into ERP and accounts payable systems, supporting multi-currency and multi-language invoice workflows for regional operations.
