AUTOMATION HERO

The easiest-to-use and most advanced AI in the industry for intelligent document processing and workflow automation.

Document Management Growth Series A

Overview

Automation Hero is an AI-powered intelligent document processing (IDP) platform that automates document-centric business workflows across insurance, banking, manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics. Originally founded as SalesHero in 2017 by Stefan Groschupf, the company rebranded to Automation Hero to reflect its broader automation mission.

The platform combines patent-pending context-aware OCR, deep learning, natural language processing, and human-in-the-loop validation to read, classify, and extract data from any document type -- structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. Automation Hero claims up to 283% greater accuracy than competitive IDP solutions, including 281% greater accuracy at handwriting recognition.

The company serves Fortune 100 enterprises and ambitious mid-market organizations worldwide, with a strong foothold in European insurance carriers. It is available on AWS Marketplace and integrates with ERPs, policy administration platforms, fraud detection systems, and CRMs via REST API.
