Introduction/Overview

A leading enterprise in railway construction sought to leverage AI to enhance productivity in handling large volumes of documents. The goal was to streamline the process of analyzing tenders, preparing content, and estimating costs for billable work. By integrating multimodal AI capabilities—text, voice, and vision—we developed a smart document assistant that reduces manual effort, accelerates decision-making, and optimizes the tender response workflow.

Client Overview

The client operates in a high-documentation environment, where employees regularly deal with complex tenders, requirement documents, and project proposals. Manually analyzing and preparing responses was time-consuming, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs.

Project Context

The traditional approach to document processing involved significant human effort in reading, extracting key details, and preparing structured responses. The client wanted an AI-powered platform to automate these tasks, reducing turnaround time and improving accuracy in tender submissions and document handling.

The Challenge

Document Overload

Employees spent excessive time manually reviewing lengthy tender documents, contracts, and requirements, leading to bottlenecks in project bidding and response preparation.

Data Extraction & Structuring

Identifying key details from unstructured text required extensive manual effort, increasing the risk of errors and missed opportunities.

Tender Cost Estimation

Generating billables from tender documentation was a slow and error-prone process, requiring extensive calculations and manual cross-referencing.

Integration with Existing Tools

The enterprise relied on multiple systems for document processing, collaboration, and cost estimation. The new solution needed to seamlessly integrate with these tools.
