My inspiration came from a desire to solve a practical problem that many businesses face. I noticed that companies were still exchanging documents like invoices and purchase orders manually, and I saw an opportunity to streamline this process through automation. I wanted to make a real impact and contribute to the business world in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#f76f6f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>GACC New York:<\/strong> Your company, H&amp;F Solutions, has developed a solution to simplify document exchange.

The tool is like an intelligent translator for unstructured data. It can analyze documents and locate important information regardless of where it&#8217;s placed within the document. This eliminates the need for companies to conform to specific data formats, which can be time-consuming and costly. The tool can also correct human errors and fill in missing information. We believe that for companies dealing with large volumes of document exchanges, this tool could save up to 70% of their costs.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#f76f6f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>GACC New York:<\/strong> We&#8217;re excited to hear about your experience in entering the US market as a startup from Germany.
