CARP-E Annual Reports: accelerating mortgage and credit applications, credit revision etc.
Automatically extracting information from annual reports
Financial markets process thousands of annual reports every day. They extract the necessary information that is used in the process of granting mortgages and loans. Retrieving and processing data is manual intensive work with a high risk of errors. TM7 has developed a software solution: CARP-E Annual Reports, for the automated extraction of the required data from large quantities of annual reports.
For whom is CARP-E Annual Reports?
Due to the many checks CARP-E applies, other or additional information is often found that is not released by the standard XBRL of the Chamber of Commerce. This is one of the benefits for the following parties:
- Financial institutions (mortgage lenders, lenders)
- Intermediary / intermediaries
- Insurance companies
- Leasing companies
Our solution is in use at one of the major Dutch banks.
How does CARP-E Annual Reports it work?
There is a great diversity in annual reports: the structure differs enormously and texts to indicate something can also vary throughout an annual report. Because our Reading Robot CARP-E is based on language technology Natural Language Processing (NLP), it is able to interpret human language. Therefore, despite differences in text, CARP-E can still recognize and extract the relevant data.
Steps:
- The annual reports are offered (usually in PDF format)
- The annual reports are OCR-d. That means that they are converted into a textual document (text recognition), making documents fully searchable.
- CARP-E starts to analyze an annual report and extracts the relevant data based on, among other things, SBR labels. With smart business rules, any (OCR) errors are corrected.
- The results are recorded in a desired output format, such as an analysis sheet. CARP-E also performs the necessary checks to validate that the data is correct.
- If desired, the data can still be offered to another system (for example XML for API connection).

Very short learning time: the solution has already proven itself in the market.
Thanks to the experience we have gained in the financial world, we can develop and roll out quickly because our best practices and "standard" business rules are included in our solution. This means that our CARP-E only needs to learn customer-specific processes.
