ScaleHub — Crowd-Powered Document Processing
German IDP provider combining GenAI with 2.3 million crowd workers for >99% accuracy through anonymous document snippeting and human verification.
Overview
ScaleHub AG operates the only crowd-orchestrated IDP platform in the market, processing over 2 billion documents annually through a hybrid model that combines GenAI with a 2.3 million-person workforce. The German company addresses GenAI accuracy limitations by breaking documents into anonymous snippets distributed to crowd workers, with each snippet verified by two workers and disagreements resolved by experienced third workers.
With an estimated $7M revenue and ~40 employees, ScaleHub targets BPO providers and shared service centers, offering deployment times of days to 2 weeks versus traditional 8-20 week implementations. Torsten Malchow, Chief Revenue Officer, notes that "The 2.3 million person pool of contributors makes the processing of any volume of documents possible; the humans are quite literally putting the 'scale' in ScaleHub."
The platform's Elastic Crowd Balancer orchestrates 15,000 active crowd workers across 160 languages with 24/7 availability. One BPO client reduced processing time from 5 months to 3 weeks for 80K-100K documents across 13 form types.
