Südwest Presse interview with Philipp Futterknecht: an iPhone moment for companies

Philipp Futterknecht, CEO of H&F Solutions, spoke about the future of automation through artificial intelligence (AI) in an in-depth interview with Südwest Presse. In particular, he talked about the automation of document processing. We’ve all been there: an email comes in with an attachment, the PDF is opened, data is transferred to the ERP system – manually, click by click, number by number. A scenario that takes place in offices every day and costs time, nerves and resources.

The end of monotony thanks to dara®

dara® is an AI-supported cloud assistant for automating the monotonous exchange of receipts. Instead of typing data by hand, dara® processes incoming receipts, recognizes content and enters it directly into the ERP system. This automates up to 99% of document processing, saving companies not only time but also more than 70% of costs.

The concrete benefits of cloud software

dara® offers companies a forward-looking solution to take document exchange to a new level. The cloud solution combines state-of-the-art technologies with user-friendly application, ensuring that business processes become more efficient, flexible and scalable. At the heart of dara® is Intelligent Data Interchange (IDI). The technology enables data to be transferred seamlessly between business partners, ensuring maximum accuracy and speed. What sets dara® apart is the platform’s ability to continuously learn and optimize itself. Thanks to an integrated feedback function, the AI not only understands the existing processes, but also continuously improves them. This not only results in greater efficiency, but also better adaptation to specific requirements and developments in day-to-day business. Another major advantage of dara® is the uncomplicated integration of new retail partners. Thanks to an immediate and passive connection, companies can integrate new partners without having to carry out time-consuming and costly IT projects. This flexibility saves valuable resources and at the same time offers the necessary agility to assert oneself in dynamic markets.
