Orders arrive in every format.

Customers order by PDF, by fax, with a completed order form or with their own purchase order. Before the order is in the system, someone types line items and quantities — error-prone and often under time pressure.

DokuScan transfers every line item as its own row, together with the order header. The result can be imported as CSV into your inventory or ERP system.

How it works.

1

Upload your first order — DokuScan recognizes the header and the line-item table and suggests the fields: order number, customer, date, item, quantity, price.

2

Review the suggestion, adjust if needed and save it as a template.

3

Upload further orders or forward them by email to the template address.

4

Download CSV or Excel — ready for import into your inventory or ERP system.

Every line item individually

Item, quantity, unit and price per row, plus order number and customer from the header.

Orders by email

Forward incoming order emails to the template address — the attachment is processed automatically.

Plausibility checks

Rules for quantities and prices flag unusual orders before import.

Export for your system

CSV with selectable delimiter, Excel or JSON. Column names match your template.

API and webhooks

In the Business package: submit orders via API and fetch results automatically.

GDPR compliant

All data on servers in Germany. Your documents are never used to train AI models.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate template for every customer?

Not necessarily. The AI finds the fields regardless of layout. For customers with very different order formats, a separate template per customer can improve the result.

Can I transfer orders directly into my ERP?

DokuScan exports CSV, Excel and JSON with your column names. These formats can be imported into common inventory and ERP systems. An automated connection is possible via the API in the Business package.

Does it work with fax orders?

Yes. Scanned faxes and photos are processed via OCR. With poor quality, the confidence score shows which values should be checked.

How much does one order cost?

One page uses one credit. In the Starter package, 100 credits cost EUR 9. The analysis for template recognition is free.

Where is the data stored?

On servers in Germany (Frankfurt), GDPR compliant, separated from other accounts and never used to train AI models.
