Continued Growth And Innovation

To get started, simply select the "Smart Extraction" option in Lightyear when faced with a challenging document.

The first phase launch of Smart Extract will enable users to extract document summary information with further stages enhancing line detail extraction. With machine learning, you can expect Smart Extract to handle multi-line descriptions, variable tax rates, and accurate extract for rows with varying lengths in the near future.

"Smart Extract is a game-changer for handling difficult documents. It has significantly sped up processing time and improved data quality."

Frequently Asked Questions

When will it be released?

Our Smart Extract feature is being released in phases, with Phase 1 expected to be in beta by 10.10.2023

How much manual intervention will Smart Extract require?

At present, Lightyear users can experience almost touch-free data extraction. Simply select Smart Extract as your extraction method with a few clicks and watch your summary data appear. Auto-publish applies to Smart Extract if enabled on supplier settings.

Is the original Lightyear Data Extraction technology being phased out?

No, our original technology is here for the foreseeable future. As Smart Extract develops it may catch up and overtake our original mapper but there are no plans to sunset our current extraction technology.

Why isn't my Document Automatically Smart Extracting?

If you have uploaded a supplier document via Smart Extract previously, and are now uploading the same supplier document without manually selecting Smart Extract, Lightyear won't remember that you want this to be Smarted Extracted... yet.

Where can I see the Maps related to my Smart Extracted Documents?

Smart Extract obtains your data in real time, using our very own built-in logic to figure out which piece of data relates to which field within Lightyear.

So the simple answer is, you can't, there are no maps required!
