Ripcord is a managed document-to-data service that combines robotic digitization for paper, machine learning-driven document classification and data extraction, and a cloud content platform called Canopy to convert paper and digital documents into searchable files and structured data that can be routed into downstream systems (ERP/CRM/data lakes/workflows). The vendor positions the offering as "Document Intelligence as a Service (DIaaS)", emphasizing outcomes such as accuracy and throughput rather than only software licensing.
Key workflow described by Ripcord:
1. Digitization: robots scan paper with chain-of-custody controls.
2. Intelligence: OCR, natural language processing, and machine learning classify documents and extract/validate/enrich fields; the vendor uses human review for low-confidence extractions.
3. Action: deliver data into existing tools or via Canopy.
