RootNia vs manual processing
RootNia compared with manual document processing
In short
Manual processing — reading each document, finding the value and typing it into another system — is flexible but slow, prone to transcription errors and hard to scale. RootNia automates intake, classification and extraction, anchors every value to its source with VERA and leaves review and decisions to people, so volume can grow without headcount growing at the same rate.

The comparison at a glance
| Criterion | Manual processing | RootNia |
|---|---|---|
| Finding a document | Searching folders and email | Connected sources, classified by sector |
| Extracting a value | Read and type | Automatic extraction anchored to its region (VERA) |
| Verifying a value | Reopen the document and search | One click from the value to its location |
| Transcription errors | Inevitable at volume | No manual re-keying |
| Scaling volume | More hours or more people | Thousands of documents in the same pipeline |
| Traceability | Depends on each person | Log of every retrieval and its source |
| Flexibility for edge cases | High | High, with human review where it adds value |
Where manual processing still fits
Manual work makes sense with low volumes, truly exceptional documents or decisions that need expert judgement every time. What does not scale is using skilled people to search and type.
What changes with RootNia
- Less time per document: documents are processed in minutes instead of hours of manual review and re-keying.
- Fewer errors: every extraction is traceable to its exact source, removing copy-paste and transcription errors.
- Scale without adding headcount: the same pipeline handles thousands of documents.
- Faster review: VERA turns review into a check, and OCR brings scanned paper in too.

Frequently asked questions
Does RootNia remove human review?
It changes it rather than removing it. Instead of searching and typing, the reviewer checks an already-extracted value and jumps in one click to its location in the original document.
How long does it take to get running?
Depending on the plan, from 48–72 hours (Starter) to 1–2 weeks (Business) or 3–9 weeks (Enterprise), depending on the complexity of your sources and deployment model.
Do I need to migrate my documents?
No. The orchestrator connects to SharePoint, OneDrive and the databases where your documents already live.
